Manualcommunication systems use articulation of the hands (hand signs, gestures, etc.) to mediate a message between persons. Being expressed manually, they are received visually and sometimes tactually. When it is the primary form of communication, it may be enhanced by body language and facial expressions.
Manual communication is employed in sign languages and manually coded languages, though sign languages also possess non-manual elements. Other systems of manual communication have been developed for specific purposes, typically in situations where speech is not practical (such as loud environments) or permitted, or where secrecy is desired.
The communication and design manual includes guidance on how to work strategically with communication and fulfil the requirements. It also sets out technical requirements on logo use, visual identity and more. Finally, it provides readers with recommendations for communication via social media, web, events, etc.

This guide describes when Regental approval is needed for an academic personnel transaction and how to prepare and submit a Regents Communication. It will provide you with many different examples of the most frequently submitted types of Regents Communications.
The communication should be free of spelling and typographical errors. Centered at the top of the page should be the heading "THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN" on the first line, and then "REGENTS COMMUNICATION" on the second line.
When a faculty member is recommended for a joint appointment, courtesy signature(s) must also be obtained from the dean(s) of the school/college where the recommended faculty member holds a Regentally approved appointment. The courtesy signature line(s) should appear below the signature line of the Dean recommending the appointment.
In order to obtain approval of an academic personnel transaction at the monthly Regents' meeting, the communication and accompanying documents must be submitted to Academic Human Resources for review and approval. It is recommended that you submit communications to Academic Human Resources via e-mail or fax before obtaining signatures, since changes may be necessary before the communication can be submitted for Regental approval. Due to the limited time involved each month, there are no exceptions to the meeting deadlines stated in this guide.
All personnel actions must be approved by the Regent's before the effective date of the appointment. For example: a faculty member who has been appointed as chair on September 1, must be approved before the effective date of the appointment. If this is not possible due to specific circumstances, a late memo addressed to the Provost (Ann Arbor campus only) from the Dean needs to be submitted with the communication explaining why the communication has been submitted to the Regents after the effective date of the appointment. However, units/preparers should make every effort to process communications in a timely fashion.
After obtaining the necessary approvals, the school/college or office initiating the action needs to send the communication to Academic Human Resources for approval. After Academic Human Resources has approved the communication, you should obtain all required signatures (except for the Provost and Executive Vice President for Academic Affairs [Ann Arbor campus]), and submit the communication in the appropriate Mbox Regents Communication folder for processing.
Academic Human Resources reviews all personnel action requests for all three campuses. They are responsible for preparing the personnel section of the Regent's monthly agenda, and submitting all to the office of the Secretary of the University for inclusion in the Regents' agenda.
The following Regent communication examples are examples of the most frequently submitted communications for Regental approval. If you do not see an example that pertains to your situation please contact Academic Human Resources or call

The WKU Communication & Branding Manual seeks to provide University standards for logo usage and color palettes, website and social media best practices, and important information to ensure that all messages about WKU are clear and consistent. Logo standards may also be found in the WKU Logo Quick Reference Guide (PDF). This information will assist all colleges, departments and divisions in their marketing and communication endeavors. A strong institutional brand does not mean that individual colleges or departments get overshadowed. Rather, it provides an opportunity for all WKU entities to leverage the WKU name in order to build upon your own name recognition and reputation. Any questions related to information in the manual should be directed to University Marketing.

Dears I get the following error:
Generic Connector Communication Error: Please check and adjust your setup: Ensure that Tomcat is running on given host and port. If this is a timeout error consider adjusting IIS timeout by changing executionTimeout attribute in web.config (see manual).
This happens periodicaly for many years in our Lucce servers (WINDOWS SERVER 2016-SQL Server) and latest lucee and boncode connector . The only workable solution I have found is when you clear the cookies from the browser for the specific site which produces the error. When the cookies are cleared the error dissapears. The problem is that if a user does not clear the cookies I cannot inform him on how to solve it. Its strange as it combines client (browser) and server.
Any idea would be helpfull.
To mention that I have followed all the solution I have found everywhere in the web but still appears randomly and not of course for all users (only a very few).

Welcome to Make It Monday, a series in which we hope to inspire your team to create communication boards and instructional materials for students who need or already use core vocabulary. In the first post, Getting Ready for a Core Vocabulary Journey, we talked about getting set up to make materials for expressive and receptive language use. Today, we get into making manual communication boards (MCBs).
ABCDs were very popular in the early days of AAC, but are used less frequently these days because of their significant drawbacks. You can read more about that here. In the past two years, clinicians and educators who make, use, and share ABCDs have improved them by using quite a lot of core vocabulary, a nice step in the right direction. Nevertheless, the AAC field more or less moved away from those and toward MCBs with a richer set of core vocabulary for two key reasons. One is to provide more stability for the learner. The location of words on ABCDs changes from board to board, which is detrimental to the learning process. A second reason relates to generalization and functional use. Lessons with ABCDs often look great to an observer because the student is engaged, participating, and expressing him/herself. What the observer might not realize, though, is that after the activity is over, the student loses access to the ABCD and no longer has a functional means of communication.
