AGRICOLA IND 90032709, In today's information-based society, home economists must be able to access and to utilize modern communications and information technologies such as electronic mail, computer conferencing, and desktop publishing. Traditional communications courses which form part of most home economics undergraduate curricula may not prepare them for this task. In this paper, a model of purposeful communication is presented which provides a framework within which the use of modern communications and information technologies can be viewed. In the purposeful model, communication is developed in a systematic manner to achieve specific objectives. It is suggested that home economists will apply these new technologies in the preparation and delivery stages of communication. The second article in this two-part series describes the development of a graduate level course in modern communications for home economists.
