Educational strategies tend to move away from the pure accumulation of factual and intellectual knowledge and increasingly acknowledge the importance of the acquisition of competences. This general tendency applies, in particular, to the cross-cutting concern of communication. In this paper I illustrate the case of an academic course on communication for teacher candidates and computer- or service science master students. The course aims at providing experiential learning and besides the facilitator’s competences heavily relies on the inclusion of online media to enrich the active learning process. Students’ feedback will be provided to let readers grasp the kind of learning happening in the course. The paper is intended to inspire educators by good practice examples and to motivate the inclusion of a course on communication in curricula such as those for teacher education or computer science
