| Description | The ability to communicate effectively is an important skill for IT graduates, particularly in light of the increasing acceptance and success of Extreme Programming methods. This paper describes an effective communication module taught as part of a subject focused on Extreme Programming. An assessment of students ’ perceptions of effective communication and their attitudes to the pedagogical techniques employed was undertaken. Specifically, students seem aware of the value of effective communication and felt that role-play activities, discussion, small-group activities and lectures contributed the most to their learning. Consideration of student opinions provides insight into how the course can be improved and offers some guidance to other academics wishing to incorporate communication-skills modules into IT courses. |
