Let's Navigate My Intercultural Communication Course: A YouTube Tour

When my students begin their new course, I always want to ensure that they will have the best experience possible. To help them prepare for their course, I always craft the course template on Blackboard or Canvas, upload it, and then I create a YouTube video focused on how to navigate the course.

This has been very helpful for students. I definitely recommend Youtube as a teaching tool for our higher education students. Check out this video for my Intercultural Communication course!
