Commonly, assignments of business communications focus students' attention on four types of learning tasks:
- analyzing and organizing information for ones' self,
- communicating information to an audience in writing, including visual aids,
- generating an entire document in a prescribed format, and
- perhaps, designing and delivering a related oral presentation.
