Serious games such as those that Games for Change hosts on Facebook offer one ready scheme, presenting players with realistic scenarios in which underserved women characters leverage available resources in pursuit of basic health care and education. But digital media experts warn that too often the very grammar of such games tacitly reinforce damaging attitudes and practices that students may unknowingly transfer from the classroom to the workplace. This paper presents findings from a data-visualization study designed to fill this gap. Responsive to current conditions in Phoenix but adaptive to other locales, the prototypes featured here were designed to support active “intercultural knowledge building” among policy makers, refugees and other immigrants in Phoenix resettling under conditions not of their making, and those serving in a variety of capacities as literacy sponsors for these residents.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121852701","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}

We have designed a brochure for a specific occupational group: landscape workers, people who work in urban and rural green spaces. This group bears a high risk of tick bites and, therefore, of contracting Lyme disease. The text and lay-out of the brochure are adapted according to the European Standards for making information easy to read and to understand. Four different versions of this brochure are designed and tested to investigate the effects of adding pictograms and a motivational agent to the adapted text. It was expected that these additions would be beneficial for low-literate landscape workers. The results of the study show that the participants appreciated the brochure, that they comprehended the brochure quite well and that they intended to perform the described protective measures. However, no positive effects of adding pictograms or a motivational agent are found. So, it seems to be more important to adapt information according to existing guidelines for easy to read text than to try to help low-literate readers by adding extra information.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"79 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132448653","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}

First, a framework in which poverty is based in relation with economic growth and technology is provided. The settings in which lifelong learning is situated, formal, non-formal and informal education, are defined. Next, an NPO project that offers learning activities for the poorest and lowest educated members of society in Belgium is discussed. This Fourth World NPO reaches out to persons in poverty to help them regain a place in society through building self-esteem and acquiring necessary competencies such as ICT skills by means of informal lifelong learning. The qualitative analysis of interviews with the project coordinators, volunteers and participants clarifies that low-threshold learning helps the participants to evolve from passive audience to active project volunteers and independent instructors. These moves are a first step toward social inclusion, i.e. improved self-confidence and practical skills that increase opportunities for employment. Although the participants do not receive any certification for the acquired knowledge, in areas such as cooking, health and ICT competencies, these skills will in the long run help to alleviate the burden on society owing to a decreased dependence on social welfare, health services and unemployment benefits.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132930495","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}

These studies provide a systematic explanation for analyzing typeface features and emotional parameters. Many of these studies have attempted to show that cross-cultural responses are consistent. One study attempted to show that the emotional response to Japanese typefaces are the same as the emotional response to Roman typefaces. While this study did show that emotional responses to Japanese typefaces were consistent with previous empirical studies, the participants were generally English-speaking US residents. This paper will report the results of an empirical study with participants who are generally from non-US cultural backgrounds. This study is designed to measure emotional responses to Japanese typefaces. In this study, the purpose is to determine the degree to which general patterns of response of native English speaking participants resemble or differ from responses of non-native English speaking participants. The results support the work of previous empirical studies and show that the same typeface features (variety versus contrast versus pattern) produce the same emotional responses (amusement versus agitation versus focus); these responses are generally consistent cross-culturally.","PeriodicalId":290419,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (IPCC)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127611777","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}
