In one course Japanese students created e-learning content for teaching technical English vocabulary, while in the other course international students analyzed what materials should be developed to help them start their life and studies in this foreign country. Both courses focused on raising global awareness and understanding of international differences, which is reflected in the resulting e-learning modules. By putting students in a central position, we make sure that both the content and style of the courseware we create will be useful and appealing to the target audience. At the same time, it helps the students to hone their creativity, presentation, and leadership skills. In this paper, we walk through the courses and show the benefits of this approach and the lessons we learned from these courses. Some of the main conclusions are that having a mix of students from different years and backgrounds is very effective to create discussions that broaden everybody's views, and that this can help faculty to find out what knowledge students feel they miss and how students like to be taught. This, in turn, will lead to more to-the-point and more useful courseware.","PeriodicalId":404833,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130124948","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}

For example, as of July, 2011, 93% of U.S. consumers own mobile phones, 38% use smartphones, and a half-million Android devices are being activated every day worldwide [2, 3, 4]. The proliferation of applications for mobile devices means that users increasingly turn to smartphones and tablets to access products and services. They are also increasingly using mobile e-readers to read books. The New York Times Best Sellers list now includes e-books, and Amazon.com recently reported that it sells more e-books than hardcover and paperback combined [5]. In spite of these trends, usability for mobile applications lags far behind desktop systems, and the mobile user experience is often difficult and disappointing [6]. To alleviate this, mobile developers can take advantage of emerging mobile usability standards to increase user satisfaction. However, for technical communicators who provide mobile user assistance, there is comparatively little research on documentation for smartphones and tablets. This paper summarizes emerging mobile usability trends and suggests best practices for developing user assistance for mobile devices. It also shows how Oracle's Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) Information Development department delivered mobile documentation in online libraries. It concludes by suggesting a method for providing usable, single-sourced documentation files that can be read on e-readers as well as tablets, such as iPad and Xoom, and smartphones, such as iPhone and Android.","PeriodicalId":404833,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121395823","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 university curriculums, textbooks, and proficiency tests focus, in part, on these skills. This report describes how students at a private engineering university in Japan learn English email writing skills, specifically the students' initial performances, their performances after instruction, which elements students continue using after instruction, and retention of email skills beyond one semester. Emails written by approximately 500 students enrolled in English Communication courses during the four semesters of the 2009 and 2010 academic years were analyzed. The various purposes of the emails included introductions, project presentation, analysis, and evaluations. The results indicated that students in 2010 courses on average advanced from scores of roughly 1.5 to between 4.0 and 4.5 on a 5-point scale in one semester. After the 2–3 month break between semesters, students on average failed to use one or two of the five email parts. The results showed that participants in both the 2009 and 2010 portions of this study had a higher frequency of omitting parts of emails in this order: greeting, salutation, name, subject, and message. The authors believe this is due to regression to informal mobile phone habits and L1 transfer. Continued instruction, practice, and use of email seem necessary for students to retain the proper format.","PeriodicalId":404833,"journal":{"name":"2011 IEEE International Professional Communication Conference","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121654090","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}
