Learning Centre
The Communication Department Learning Centre is a "drop-in" centre where you can get help from Communication Instructors in both oral and written communication areas. We offer a computer-based Language Lab wherein students can access a wealth of resources to develop writing, speaking, reading and listening skills.
Once you are registered in COMM 0065 Communication Learning Centre, you will be able to access these materials online at your convenience and engage in online tutorial assistance throughout the term. Come for a free visit before registering!
An instructor will be available to answer your questions, help you with your writing, and show you how best to use the Language Lab computer programs, text materials, WebCT resources, and Internet links.
