Our personal and professional worlds are driven by the rapidly changing technology tools we use to communicate. The ability to write clearly and effectively using multiple mediums for multiple audiences are vital and necessary skills. Strengthening these writing skills will give you the ability to create and maintain relationships, explain ideas efficiently and effectively, and persuade others to take specific actions. Yet, whether communicating in business, disseminating information online, or blogging for pleasure, writing with precision, economy, and style, are skills that take practice and development. This course expands powers of expression, develops a large and dynamic vocabulary and enables learners to write with precision. We will sharpen writing skills through exercises and brief assignments, with special attention paid to writing for the Web and other forms of online communication.
