Therefore this module shows you the essentials of the communication system, the communication path and the two sorts of interference that may occur, internal and external interference.
You will learn about senders and receivers, about encoding and decoding the message travelling the communication path, and, most importantly, about the three basic aims of communication, the informative, the persuasive and the stimulating aims.
