Change, Challenge, and Opportunity: Communication in the 21st Century

Ohio Communication Association 71st Annual Conference Saturday, October 6, 2007

Boardman, OH

Hosted by Youngstown State University

Change, Challenge, and Opportunity: Communication in the 21st Century

Researching and understanding the role of communi-cation in our daily lives is an ongoing process. As teachers and scholars of communication, we are con-

tinually challenged to address the changes that impact the ways in which we interact with one an-other. One example of a challenge that has emerged involves exploring the role of computer-mediated communication and the ways in which it has changed how we create and share mean-ings. Another example of a challenge to our interactions is the result of our increased ability to communicate with those from other cultures. With these challenges come opportunities for the ways in which we teach and research communication across contexts. The prospects for revising existing theories and developing new explanations for communication phenomena are endless. The 2007 Ohio Communication Association convention theme invited scholars and teachers to address the changes experienced within our discipline, identify the challenges that have resulted from these changes, and explore opportunities for teaching and researching these issues. The Ohio Communication Association offers professors, graduates, and undergraduate students an opportunity to share ideas for teaching and research, and to develop relationships with Ohio communication professionals. OCA is open to all communication professionals, and we believe you have so much to offer.

Dear OCA Participant: As Chair of the Department of Communication at Youngstown State University, I welcome you to the 2007 OCA Conference. We’re excited to have you here in Youngstown and hope your stay is fun and productive. Your conference planners have put together a program that perfectly reflects the theme, Change, Challenge & Opportunity: Communica-tion in the 21st Century. Questions we seek to answer this weekend include, “How do changing media reflect and affect us?” “What new challenges confront us regarding community, ethics, and social influ-ence?” and “What new opportunities exist in education?” It’s wonderful to see that faculty and students from a wide variety of educational institutions will be here together to share ideas and strengthen our OCA community. This conference is testa-ment to the excellent communication scholarship happening everywhere in Ohio. In light of our conference theme, I challenge you to take the opportunity to meet new people today; they might just change your life! Have a great conference. Cary Horvath Chair, Department of Communication Youngstown State University

8:00-9:00 a.m. — 102 (con’t) “Teaching Public Relations Online Tactics” Michele Ewing, Kent State University “Integrating Blogs into the Classroom” William E. Sledzik, Kent State University “Learning in a Web 2.0 World: The Student’s Perspective” Scott Juba, Kent State University “Developing an Online Course” Jeffrey P. Drake, Kent State University

Workshop Attendees Will Receive: • Guidelines for developing an excellent online course • How-to instructions for building a blog • Sample project overview from “Online Tactics” • Student’s Top 10 List

Distance learning is a top challenge facing educators in the 21st century. Some 2.6 million stu-dents enrolled in online courses in Fall 2004. Indeed, it is a priority according to the report of PRSA’s Commission for Higher Education. Another top concern is ensuring mass communica-tion programs prepare practitioners to use new technologies in tactics, strategies and meas-urement. The need to bring Web 2.0 into the classroom is underscored by the pervasive influ-ence of PDAs and social media. Ownership of digital music players more than tripled, from 8% in 2005 to 27% in 2006. Some 57 million blogs are monitored daily by search engine Tech-norati, and more than one fourth of Internet users read them. In this workshop, faculty and stu-dents will discuss how technology makes possible classrooms without borders. Presenters will demonstrate how they use blogging, podcasting, and distance learning in a curriculum that is ahead of the iPod curve. 103 Recruiting and Retaining Students with Service Learning: A Homework Express Case Study Room: Function Room 3 Chair: Amy Graban Crawford, Youngstown State University Panelists:

Ben Elias, Youngstown State University Amy Graban Crawford, Youngstown State University Fred Owens, Youngstown State University Nicole Peterson, Youngstown State University Erianne Raib, Youngstown State University

The role of service learning in a curriculum has been documented by scholars and is a key component in many communication programs and courses. However, the introduction of ser-vice learning opportunities also raises questions for a program. How can a program recruit stu-dents to participate in service learning when it is not required? What value do students assign to volunteer service learning? How can a program hold a student’s interest and continue to provide challenges throughout a student’s college career? This panel of faculty and students

8:00-9:00 a.m. — 103 (con’t) will share the results of qualitative and quantitative research on students’ perceived value of participation in Homework Express, a live call-in show developed and produced by under-graduate students to assist local middle school students with math homework. The panel will also discuss how their results may be generalized to other service learning opportunities.

9:15-10:15 a.m.

Panelists: Jennifer Burns, Ohio University* Lauren Daniels, Ohio University* Alea Moore, Ohio University* Kylie Roman, Ohio University*

Every campus is unique. The buildings, campus layout, monuments, etc. provide a physical and potentially iconic representation of the culture of that community. The Graffiti Wall at Ohio University is such a public place. In the dark of the night, groups and individuals paint their messages for the surrounding communities to see. The scholars on this panel explore potential communicative purposes and insight of this campus activity by embracing unique theoretical explanations. This panel is useful for communication instructors looking for alternatives in teaching communication theory, visual communication, public argumentation, and persuasion.

Keynote Debate 10:30-11:30 a.m.

Conference Rooms A & B RESOLVED: Communication scholars should dissolve the communication discipline and merge with related disciplines (i.e., theater, English, psychology, etc.). Moderator: Matthew J. Smith, Wittenberg University Please join us for this spirited debate. Come listen to four outstanding communication scholars and teachers from across the great state of Ohio offer their perspectives and positions on the resolution.

As this newer form of entertainment continues to gain strength, communication scholars are chal-lenged to consider new questions surrounding our media consumption. One common question – Is reality television really real? – has been explored in both academic and social circles. A novel way to approach this question is by examining the nonverbal communication cues pre-sented by reality television characters. In this panel, seven undergraduate students will briefly discuss their research comparing observations from a chosen reality TV show to existing re-search. Each student used a similar approach to analyze the nonverbal behaviors in a show, drawing different conclusions about the reality of nonverbal cues in reality television.

Canton City School District offered Kent State undergraduates an opportunity to help the district narrow serious educational gaps that a 2006 task force had found existed between its African-American males and other students. In March of 2007, the organizational communication class held four focus group sessions with parents/guardians of achieving and at risk 5th graders from two Canton City elementary schools. Participants answered questions ranging from who the stu-dents admired to how they felt about parent-teacher conferences. In the panel, Kent State stu-dents will describe their findings and recommendations as presented in their full 2007 report, Sav-ing Students Starts with Parents: Their Opinions, Strategies, and Suggestions. Diane Stevens Robinson, Canton City Schools’ Diversity Coordinator, will describe how the report is engendering meaningful change and helping meet the needs of students. Margaret Wick will describe how she constructed five writing assignments around this service-learning project for her writing intensive course.
