It has been argued that lifelong learning is an efficient way out of poverty and a portal to (re)enter society. With the current influx of refugees into Europe, immigrants, societies, and governments alike benefit from programs that integrate people with different educational and cultural backgrounds into their newly-adopted societies and activate them for participation in society. The more refugees and immigrants are employed or successful as entrepreneurs, the less they will depend on welfare, which lessens the financial burden and creates positive momentum for social acceptance. The same can be said for professionally inactive persons often on the brink of poverty. This ongoing research paper explores two lifelong learning projects in Belgium's Dutch-speaking region, their different target groups, and program goals regarding achievement of active participation into society. Some successes and shortcomings are discussed. Activities and target groups, and existing areas of overlap and cooperation between the organizations are described. Results indicate that projects focus on language skills and basic skills for the workplace. Participant numbers sometimes exceed the projects' capacities, but participant satisfaction is high.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126323323","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What if screencasts-as the method and the message-became an instructional tool for providing feedback to students? Drawing from the usability method cognitive walkthrough and reader response theory, this paper posits rationale for creating screencasts of an instructor's response to student's writing for distance courses. As a method, the screencast shows the student what strengths and weaknesses exist in the technical piece. As a message, the screencast shows the student what the instructor sees, reads, experiences, and responds to when reading and interacting with the technical piece. Based on preliminary pedagogical experimentation, this paper suggests that screencasts for responding to student writing enhance a distant student's access to knowledge and the instructor-enriching the overall learning experience.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134387470","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many programs are increasing the number of project-based courses, to provide students with the conditions in which innovation might occur, yet innovation remains difficult to teach directly. In one such course in Chemical Engineering, we introduced a framework to aid students in exploring the central questions of their projects, from how to define the problem, to how to recognize the value of previous approaches to specific technical challenges, to how to interpret the results of innovative research. This framework, which we call a \"What-How-Why\" diagram, integrates the thinking that chemical engineers need to cover as they design the work of a project, with the thinking that they need to do in order to communicate that work to an audience. We have found that this framework helps students to plan their work, to recognize potential areas for specific innovation, to better recognize the significance of variations in research design, and to communicate innovative solutions more effectively.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134541847","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recently Amare and Manning proposed a systematic model that identifies a spectrum of emotional quality (agitation-amusement-focus) generally parallel to the familiar color spectrum (red-yellow-blue) and a spectrum of form (contrast-variety-pattern). For example, both the color red and jagged, high contrast forms consistently evoke one emotional response neutrally described as agitation, a response evaluated positively as excitement or negatively as anger. This model has been used to demonstrate a stable emotion-spectrum response in a population of viewers, to restaurant menus, to environmental activist webpages, to Roman typefaces, to Japanese typefaces, etc.; potentially for any given combination of form and color. However, no follow-up studies have re-evaluated the initial study by Amare and Manning. This paper reports on empirical tests which use the original twenty-one prompts and an additional twenty-three prompts. The results support the work of previous researchers and show the same correlation between emotional quality (agitation-amusement-focus), color spectrum (red-yellow-blue) and a spectrum of form (contrast-variety-pattern).","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115199009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
