Teaching Students About Mobile Business Communication
1. What You Should Be Teaching Your
Students about Mobile Business
Communication and Visual Media
2. "Bovée and Thill are the only authors who explain and illustrate
in every chapter how mobile is revolutionizing business
communication.
“Surprisingly, although we’re in the midst of a mobile
revolution, no other business communication authors cover
mobile business communication, which should tell you
everything you need to know about which authors keep their
textbooks current.”
3. Whether it’s a training video, an interactive big-data
tool, or a geographic information system (GIS) used for
on-site analysis, more and more employees need to
consume visual media on smartphones and tablets.
4. The constraints of small screens are even more acute
with visuals than they are with text, so preparing visual
content for mobile users takes careful planning and
display tools designed for mobile devices.
5. Graph (Android) and Numbers (iOS) are two of
the many apps available for creating charts and
graphs on mobile devices.
6. Framing decisions are particularly important if the
business videos created by a business will be watched
on mobile devices, because small screens can limit the
amount of detail viewers can see clearly.
7. On its YouTube channel and other platforms, the
GoPro camera combines the power of visual
communication with the reach of social media.
8. Instagram has become wildly popular for personal
photos, but many companies use the photo-sharing
service for business communication as well. Shown here
is a photo Home Depot posted to its Instagram account
featuring participants in its Home Depot Kids Workshop.
