Welcome to Introduction to Communications

Introduction to Communications has been adapted from various published resources, but mostly from a work produced and distributed under a Creative Commons licence (CC BY-NC-SA) by a publisher who has requested that they and the original author not receive attribution. This open educational resource, and the adaption of other content, is published by NorQuest College in Edmonton, Alberta, and was created by Susanne Erickson and Sarah James.

Some chapters have remained similar to the original text, while others have been altered greatly in order to work with the Introduction to Communication Course at NorQuest College.

This adaptation has reformatted the original text as needed, added content from other resources, included original writing, replaced images and figures and added review activities to make the resulting whole more shareable.
