Building on that knowledge, this learning pathway now focuses on the principles of good <i>writing<\/i> for business contexts. We start by considering similarities and differences between written and oral communication and then look at the styles and tools that can be used in business writing to build communication bridges with your audience and overcome common barriers. We will also give an overview of some of the legal implications of business writing.\n<\/p>\n<p>The learning pathway finishes with a page of optional additional resources to help you continue developing your writing skills.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"panel iDevice\">\n\t<div class=\"panel-heading idevice-heading\">\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"pedagogicalicon\" alt=\"objectives\" src=\"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-content\/themes\/oeru_course\/idevices\/Icon_objectives.png\">\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<h2>Objectives<\/h2>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>When you complete this learning pathway, you will be able to:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Compare and contrast written and oral communication\n<\/li>\n<li> Recognise and analyse appropriate contexts for different writing styles\n<\/li>\n<li> Use word choice, tone, conciseness and other techniques to make your business writing more effective\n<\/li>\n<li> Use non-biased language in writing\n<\/li>\n<li> Outline some key legal considerations that relate to business writing\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \nNewPP limit report\nCPU time usage: 0.024 seconds\nReal time usage: 0.027 seconds\nPreprocessor visited node count: 208\/1000000\nPreprocessor generated node count: 856\/1000000\nPost\u2010expand include size: 5400\/2097152 bytes\nTemplate argument size: 2472\/2097152 bytes\nHighest expansion depth: 7\/40\nExpensive parser function count: 0\/100\n--><\/p>\n<p><!-- Saved in parser cache with key we_en-mw_:pcache:idhash:178523-0!*!*!*!*!2!* and timestamp 20201106010618 and revision id 1082240\n -->\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"visualClear\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-md-12\">\n<ul class=\"pager\">\n<li class=\"previous\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom101\/learning-pathways\/understanding-your-audience\/quiz\">\u2190 Previous<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<li class=\"next\">\n            <a href=\"\/ccom101\/learning-pathways\/effective-business-writing-and-legal-considerations\/video-signpost\">Next \u2192<\/a>\n          <\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<footer><\/footer>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2190 Previous Next \u2192<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":790,"featured_media":0,"parent":10488,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-10490","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10490","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/790"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10490"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10490\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10491,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10490\/revisions\/10491"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/10488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/course.oeru.org\/ccom101\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10490"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
