Each method requires a set of skills to effectively translate the technical information into a language the stakeholder understands.

The history of continuing education at Oxford
Nearly 150 years ago, a movement called 'Oxford Extension' began at the University of Oxford - an initiative that sprang from general educational reforms in the mid-Victorian era, and from a growing national sense of social awareness.
The history of Oxford University's Department for Continuing Education is several stories in one: it's the story of a handful of dedicated Oxford tutors who felt that educational opportunity was essential to the nation's welfare and future;
it's an account of ordinary citizens collaborating with Oxford to design a format of education that served their needs; and it's the story of adult education evolving as successive generations of students, from 1878 to the present day, participated in ever-growing numbers.
The articles below are milestones in our efforts to bring Oxford teaching to the widest possible audience.

Minutes act as a public record of what was discussed and agreed at a meeting. The skill of minute-taking, from layout to discussion summaries, is therefore incredibly important.
Understanding and employing effective communication techniques in the work environment can go a long way to helping you achieve your aims. Humans are unique in being able to use words to communicate and yet we so often get it wrong.
