LSU Communication across the Curriculum
Communication across the Curriculum
Communication across the Curriculum (CxC) is an academic enhancement program designed to elevate college students’ writing, speaking, visual and technological communication skills within the disciplines. CxC has evolved from the proven pedagogy of Writing across the Curriculum (WAC) and Writing in the Disciplines (WID) programs. Historically, academia has focused on improving students’ writing skills,[1] but has put little emphasis on communication skills as a whole to include, incorporating oral competencies, visual literacy, and application of technological communication tools in addition to writing.[2]
Model CxC Program at Louisiana State University
While some universities have reformed their WAC/WID programs to address multimodal communication, at this time, Louisiana State University (LSU) is the only institutionalized program that equally emphasizes written, spoken, visual, and technological communication within disciplines. The The LSU Communication across the Curriculum (CxC) program, rooted in the core WAC theory, structure, and pedagogy,[3][4] has adjusted its model to benefit from the knowledge of what has and has not worked at other institutions,[5] and takes into account the rapidly changing demands of communication in the 21st century.[6]
