Acknowledgements

The preparation of this book was funded by a grant awarded in July 2020 in response to a call for proposals by BCcampus.

The purpose of the call for proposals was to identify qualified institutions, departments, or individual educators to work with BCcampus on the identification, evaluation, and development of open online courses (OOC) and other OER in a variety of subject areas, including business communications.

We are grateful for the support of BCcampus in funding our project.

We are also grateful to Lee Beavington, an instructor at Kwantlen Polytechnic University, for his generosity in granting permission to use one of his photographs for the cover of this book.
