Course Overview
The Business Writing Skills course by Open Source is a foundational program designed to equip learners with essential written communication competencies required in modern corporate environments. Specifically tailored for roles such as Business Analysts, Administrative Managers, and Corporate Communications Specialists, this course covers core topics including message organization, audience analysis, business letters, reports, emails, and digital communication etiquette. According to the OER Foundation, over 70% of employers rank effective writing as a critical skill for career advancement, underscoring the high industry demand for professionals who can produce clear, concise, and professional business documents. The curriculum aligns with the learning outcomes of micro-course CCOM101 and supports academic credit pathways through recognized institutions.
This course emphasizes practical, hands-on learning through widely used business platforms and tools such as email clients, collaborative document editors (e.g., Google Docs), content management systems, and presentation software. Students engage in real-world writing challenges using the OERu learning environment, where they draft, revise, and submit business memos, formal letters, and reports based on authentic workplace scenarios. A key project involves creating a comprehensive business proposal that integrates audience analysis, persuasive messaging, and proper formatting standards. The lab framework follows a self-directed, blog-based journal model, enabling learners to reflect on communication strategies and receive peer feedback within an open digital forum, simulating collaborative corporate workflows.
Business Writing Skills prepares learners for professional recognition through pathways such as the Saylor Academy challenge exam (MAN-373-TE), which is accepted for credit by select institutions under the ACE Alternative Credit Project. Graduates report improved readiness for corporate roles, with entry-level business communicators earning median salaries of $55,000–$65,000 in North America, according to recent labor market data. Koenig Solutions enhances this Open Source curriculum with expert-led instruction, offering 1-on-1 training and Guaranteed-to-Run schedules to ensure learners complete the program on time. Upon finishing, participants are equipped to produce high-impact business documents that enhance organizational clarity, drive decision-making, and support long-term career growth in corporate communication and management.
