To meet the first aim, our program's course work requires students to examine a wide range of document types through a rhetorical lens. To meet the second aim, we advise students early in their college careers that their degree will be a credential, not a ticket to a job. They are encouraged to seek out, well before they graduate, internships, projects for businesses and organizations, and other work in the field. We advise them to think of themselves not simply as students majoring in a subject, but as professionals. In other words, we are training students to see themselves as \"entrepreneurs-in-training.\" This paper advocates for a view of PTW students as entrepreneurs-in-training and includes an interview with a student who fulfilled this goal successfully.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"59 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":"121823109","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}

In the article, we will discuss the importance of psychological safety as a key foundation in collaborative work and the affordances that result from building and maintaining this foundation, including the co-creation of knowledge and an increase in team productivity. We provide a postmortem of our collaborative writing process, which has resulted in a series of successful articles, presentations, and posters. In this case history, we will discuss our collaborative processes, highlighting significant decisions, choices, and failures; we will supplement the case with anecdotal evidence. Finally, we will provide a set of concrete strategies/guidelines to benefit others interested in distributed collaboration. Ultimately, we present this case as a model for collaborative writing and have termed this innovative process “interlaced collaborative writing”.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"360 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":"115902529","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}

Testing is required to know if their application works in a specific context. However, testing web content is challenging, especially content that does not support the funnel-shaped interactions typically found in commerce-oriented web sites. This paper presents the case of an experiment that tested how varying two common best practices for web content- content minimalism and visual navigational affordances-affected software developers' perceptions and task performance. Applying these best practices improved some metrics as expected, but also reduced or had no measurable effect on others. The experience from this case study revealed opportunities for innovation in web-content authoring: (1) describing best practices to include the contexts in which they are most effective and the factors they might improve, (2) developing methods for modeling audience requirements and goals as they relate to the effective use of information concepts and visual design, and (3) improving the tools and methods used to measure web content and integrate such measurements into the authoring process.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"19 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":"130896974","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}

Although the majority of students are currently Marketing & Management Communication Students, Engineering and Computer Science Design students also participate, and learn from the multidisciplinary teams formed for the coursework. The course focus is first and foremost on project management processes and the roles of communication and rhetoric in developing their project conception and planning choices and documents. However, students have also used skills gained in the course to build their own companies after graduation, indicating that the course experience can support teaching entrepreneurship communication. We describe how we use entrepreneurial clients in the course, as well as discuss issues related to service learning, and accreditation when comparing US and Danish university contexts. We found that course context which we have developed encourages Alumni to consider entrepreneurship as a career possibility.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"18 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":"124011365","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}

The paper examines whether indigenous knowledge practices, which are cited within the report as important to adaptation and mitigation strategies, are being represented in climate discourse. Focusing on extending past discourse analyses of climate communication, this paper identifies a need for the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and other policy organizations to more effectively communicate the ethics of inclusive policies in the field of climate science, particularly the effects of such policies on indigenous populations. Furthermore, the paper examines the make-up of Working Group II to determine whether indigenous knowledge and perspectives are included in the authoring of the reports themselves. Language indicating a need to consider multiple perspectives does not, in this case, lead to the just representation of those perspectives.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"46 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":"124433585","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}

Employing a case study approach, we examined the manner dialogue with market stakeholders impacted value propositions in the form of formal pitch documents and oral presentations. These studies revealed an initial tendency of firms to pitch their innovation through generalized claims to non-specific audiences in the marketplace. Following interaction with stakeholders in the new market, the value propositions were iterated to become highly specific and sometimes quantitative. Specifically, value propositions of successful entrepreneurs were changed along four dimensions: (1) specifying the business argument to particular customers; (2) refocusing the technology use case; (3) adapting technology or product design; and (4) providing financial incentive for partners, or a combination of these. We further saw an apparent requirement for innovators to participate in this iteration process if they wish to successfully reach a new market. Ultimately, the presentation of new, innovative products does not resemble selling a finished product as supposed in a value-as-exchange offering, but requires active interplay and co-creation with business stakeholders in the new market to transform the innovation into a fitted value-in-use solution.","PeriodicalId":222814,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"34 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":"114882737","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}
