GIFTS 2020 – Call for Presentations

Great Ideas For Teaching Students (GIFTS) provides an excellent opportunity for faculty members and/or graduate students to share classroom-tested “great ideas” with other educators. In alignment with the conference theme as well as contemporary events, submissions are encouraged which address and/or explore the various communication interplays among action and perceptions and impact. Submissions may present an activity, assignment, project, game, simulation, etc. for addressing a specific communication theory, concept, skill, or learning objective.
