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.
