Abstract
This essay emerged out of class discussion in a Ph.D. seminar on Instructional Communication (IC). As the first author and professor in this course, I have encouraged my students (the remaining authors) to connect IC to their areas of emphasis and to con-sider the myriad ways IC research could contribute to learning outcomes in these areas. In drafting their contributions to this essay, one of the student authors wrote, “If instructional communication (IC) is defined as ‘the study of the human communication process across all learning situations independent of subject matter, grade level, or the learning environment’ (Myers et al., 2016, p. 13), then why are so many scholars still tied to their classroom podiums?” We present an argument for how IC scholars can build on existing research to step out from behind their podiums through consulting and outreach in five distinct contexts.
