Welcome to The Lectern. 

This is a resource page for faculty teaching Public Speaking or Introduction to Communication (the basic hybrid course) who need videos and resources for use in online, hybrid, and even face-to-face classes. 

My goal is to provide the best, most essential videos covering a range of Communication topics (all of which will strive to be accurately captioned to meet accessibility requirements). This site is intended for any faculty (FT, PT, grad student) teaching a Speech or Communication course. 

For more information about the creation of this page, view About the Curator under the More Resources link.

How do you navigate this website?

Browse the video topics and play them in their preview window. Click the YouTube icon on the bottom right of the video to open the video full screen in YouTube. Share that link with students or colleagues (or embed those individual links into your Leaning Management System).

Browse any handouts via the link. A Google Doc or Google Slides will open and allow you to save a copy that you can use/edit.
