Introduction to Communication notes

These notes cover definitions of communication, models of how messages are exchanged, listening and public speaking. They also look at written, oral and non-verbal forms, with examples such as letters, facial expressions and eye contact.

Start with Concept of Communication for a definition, then read the note on communication models to compare action, interaction and transaction. Public Speaking Essential Questions is another useful starting point if you want to focus on messages, communication without words and listening.

Revise with notes

After reading a note, try explaining its main ideas in your own words. Return to the relevant section if you cannot remember how the models differ or which examples fit a form of communication.

Switch to a mind map on the unit page when you want to organise ideas visually, or try a quiz when you want to check your recall. Pick a note and work through it at your own pace.

Frequently asked questions

Which note is a good place to start?

Concept of Communication is a useful first read if you want a definition of communication. For a different starting point, Public Speaking Essential Questions covers sending and receiving messages, communication without words and listening. You can then move to the note on communication models.

Are these notes free to use?

Yes. Every note listed here is free to open and study without an account. The notes were made by GoConqr users, so you can browse different approaches to the unit, including definitions, communication models, listening skills and forms of communication.

What can I do if the notes do not cover what I need?

Check the unit page for another format, such as a mind map or quiz, that may help you explore or review the topic. You can also make your own notes with a free account, adding the ideas you want to revisit.
