Recently, augmented reality (AR) has gained increasing attention as a new way to provide user support and assistance for guiding assembly. To date, although comprehensive studies have compared the effectiveness of augmented reality instructions on Head-Mounted Displays and projectors, only a few investigate the AR instructions on mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. In this paper, we aim to close this gap by comparing mobile AR instructions to paper-based instructions using a Lego assembly task. Two groups of participants were asked to either use AR instructions or paper-based instructions. Their task effectiveness, efficiency, cognitive load, and motivation were measured. Results indicate that participants who used mobile AR instructions made fewer errors compared to participants who used paper instructions. Furthermore, mobile AR instructions do not hinder task efficiency, cognitive load, and motivation. This study adds empirical evidence to the usability of mobile AR instructions and may help instructional designers gain insights about differences in mobile AR instructions and paper instructions.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126878018","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}

This paper draws from both the recent linguistic research, and from rhetorical theory, to provide a framework that illuminates specific reasoning functions of the interactive dimension of engineering texts. First-person discourse performs critical functions for signalling motivation, novelty, experimental design, and analytical reasoning. Additionally, imperatives, such as “note that,” also perform important functions such as emphasizing significant results, highlighting the relationship between empirical data and theory, and explaining error and uncertainty. Indeed, the persuasiveness of these texts would be diminished without the metadiscourse markers signalling the dialogic nature of engineering reasoning. Consequently, teaching students the functions of first- and second-person discourse in engineering articles can not only help them better adapt to audiences, but also help them better learn how engineers reason.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126674500","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}

To track student progress and experience, researchers from mathematics, humanities, and UX/technical communication departments distributed and collected assessments given at the beginning and end of nine sections over one academic year. Each semester, approximately half the courses were taught using the new curriculum and the other half used the original one. Assessment one demonstrated that the new curriculum does significantly increase students’ improvement between beginning and end assessments, whereas the original curriculum did not. Assessment two demonstrated that students felt the new curriculum integrated the course material and assignments more than the existing curriculum and also reported a more enjoyable experience. Assessment three demonstrated that instructors generally feel that the new curriculum aids students’ participatory education and allows them to confront difficult concepts in a more agile environment and cooperative atmosphere. Therefore, we argue for more collaboration inside a STEAM-environment for the mutual benefit of implementing curricular development inspired by Arts and Humanities pedagogy.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121753018","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}

Technical documentation quality is an essential part of product help center quality. As user information behavior gains increasing attention in user-interface design, for help centers, understanding user’s information behavior of documentation provides insights to better develop product resources. To improve help center quality, we focus on typical technical documentation users—developers and their information behavior. We used combined sociological approaches and conducted a two-phase user research: an in-depth interview was first performed to gain basic idea of developers’ documentation acquiring and using habits; then, a questionnaire survey was conducted to validate former result and further explore the factors influence those behaviors. This paper present how developers need, acquire and use technical documentations, and discussed the related factors. According to the result, we found that developers have preference in documentation acquiring methods, besides, quickly locating target information is their common way to start using a documentation. Furthermore, gender and user documentation dependency both have impact on their information behaviors and documentation using experience. In conclusion, developers’ information behaviors of technical documentation have patterns, and these patterns should be carefully considered in help centers’ future development.","PeriodicalId":311057,"journal":{"name":"2020 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference (ProComm)","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114725510","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}
