A ritual view of communication holds that we communicate not just to pass information, but more importantly, as a way to connect with others in order to maintain our communities. Updated Sept 2023.
12 Lessons From Some Great Presentators
Embrace the Anxiety A fear of public speaking is not just common; it is innate. Our ancestors had to be accepted into social groups in order to survive, instead of standing out and being alone (and then possibly being a predator’s dinner!). We have to acknowledge our...
Knowledge Models: Their History and Future
The History of Knowledge Models and a description of the current model the Network Model and/or the Fractal Model.
Fractal Model of Communication
The Fractal Model of Communication is the latest obvious evolution of communication Models that began with Aristotle and Shannon. Fractal Model assumes Communication is complex and dynamic, and follows fractal patterns. (Update Sept. 2023)
Successful Communities are built on Continuous Improvement, Collective Responsibility, and Goal Alignment.
This lesson describes why Successful Communities are “Learning Communities.” And describes why a commitment to continuous improvement, the development of collective responsibility, and focusing on goal alignment are so important in building a successful learning community.
Communication Models – Past and Future
This lesson on Communication models – past and future provides the necessary background to help us develop Communication “Best Practices” for our 21st Century Hyper-Connected Digital World.
This lesson provides the support for Fractal Quantum Communication Models. (Updated July 2024)
Three Communication Models
A lesson describing the evolution of communication models from a one-way linear model of Aristotle and Claude Shannon, to the Interaction and transactional model of Schramm and Berlo, to the new Iterative Fractal Models. Updated March 3, 2024
Double-Helix Communication Model
