McCall University of North Carolina at Greensboro  \nErin Ellis  \nUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro  \nMaggie Murphy  \nUniversity of North Carolina at Greensboro  \nAbstract  \nWhile instruction from the communication center and library has supported students and teaching for many years, we seek a more intentional collaboration between these support services and the basic communication course. This article follows a pilot case study performed to explore student perceptions of an in-class collaborative session designed to meet the needs of students in the basic communication course (BCC) . Through a mixed-methods approach, basic course students and course instructors were surveyed to understand and explore the perceptions and possible outcomes ofthe project. The results suggest the importance of collaboration and in-class instruction, yielding future case-specific enhancements and generalizable suggestions and precautions for other universities and colleges.  \nThe basic communication course (BCC) has been called “the original and most enduring pedagogical element in the communication discipline”(Valenzano, Wallace, & Morreale, 2014, p. 356) . Topreserve and enhance the basic course, the communication center (The University Speaking Center) and university library (First-Year Library Instruction Program) at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG) collaborated with the Basic Course Director to assess resources for BCC students. While instruction from the communication center and library have been integral for many years in teaching and supporting students, we seek a more intentional collaboration between these three entities (The University Speaking Center, University Libraries, and Communication Studies Department) . This project takes the communication center and university library resources into the classroom space to meet students where they are in the composing and communication process as well as  \nphysically to encourage the use of available resources in developing and delivering cogent, evidence-based arguments.  \nLiterature Review  \nBasic Communication Course. The BCC course historically has deep roots in Greek and Roman oratorical training, laying the foundation for the modern day basic course design (Valenzano, 2014) . The course is not only a foundational element of the communication studies discipline but also plays an integral role in the general education program. A recent study of basic course programs revealed that 77.2% of four-year schools draw on the basic course in the schoolwide general education programs (Morreale, Myers, Backlund, & Simonds, 2016) . The BCC course used for this study is considered a hybrid delivery (combines public speaking, interpersonal communication, and group communication) . A recent study found that approximately  \n27% of four-year schools offered a hybrid basic communication course; the most prevalent form of the basic course is focused solely on public speaking (Morreale et al., 2016) . Because the course chosen for this study is hybrid, instructors, administrators, and supporters are intentional in providing opportunities to help students prepare for and practice interacting with one another in various formats (public, interpersonal, and group) .  \nCommunication Centers.  \nCommunication centers are an important component on a college campus. Their primary goal is to “assist students in the development of their oral communication abilities and skills”(LeFebvre, 2012, p. 190), and create a place where students can receive individualized assistance on assignments though constructive feedback (Yook, Rao, & Wilde, 2012) . Communication centers support courses in oral communication and communication across the curriculum programs (Von Till, 2012) . Additionally, centers offer tutoring for oral communication in genres such as presentations, discussions, debates, and interviews thr","cbCaiaRcPBHPzSqw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiaRcPBHPzSqw","pdf",185718,"English","# Abstract\n## Literature Review\n### Basic Communication Course\n### Communication Centers","[{\"question\":\"What collaboration does the pilot study focus on?\",\"answer\":\"The study investigates a more intentional collaboration between the communication center, the university library, and the basic communication course.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the pilot study conducted?\",\"answer\":\"The project used a mixed-methods approach, surveying basic course students and course instructors to assess perceptions and possible outcomes.\"},{\"question\":\"What do the results suggest about collaboration?\",\"answer\":\"The results highlight the importance of collaboration and in-class instruction, supporting future improvements and offering generalizable suggestions for other institutions.\"}]","It Takes Three to Enhance - A Pilot Study of Collaboration in the Basic Course - Abstract | PDF",1792088452,48]
