Handbook of Instructional Communication

I was heartened to see that the revised Handbook of Instructional Communication softens the boundaries of what constitutes instructional communication research, integrates a variety of constructs and perspectives, relies on respected prolific authors, and effectively incorporates theory, research, and practice. The editors, Hosek and Houser, are to be commended on this effort to highlight the best of our instructional communication scholarship. - Cheri Simonds, Illinois State University, USA I was heartened to see that the revised Handbook of Instructional Communication softens the boundaries of what constitutes instructional communication research, integrates a variety of constructs and perspectives, relies on respected prolific authors, and effectively incorporates theory, research, and practice.
