Two main findings emerged from this analysis of both quantitative, semantic differential data and qualitative, written responses: 1) Students lack the vocabulary to make fine distinctions among text typefaces; and 2) Students sometimes make associations among attributes that experts would not agree with. Four guidelines, generated by analysis of students' responses, are discussed: 1) Choose a typeface with relatively large, open counters and large x-heights for legibility and readability; 2) Choose a typeface with no or moderate modeling for professionalism; 3) Choose a typeface with variable pitch (as opposed to a fixed pitch) - to avoid an excessively technical tone; and 4) Avoid typefaces that mimic other modes of writing to avoid distracting readers from the message.","PeriodicalId":439913,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Professional Communication Conference, 2003.

This paper introduces many zooming applications such as a file zoom, a focus zoom, and a search zoom which are based on geometric and semantic zooming methods. The file zooming applications use dynamic zoom-in and zoom-out functions for visualizing large amounts of information on the PDA screen. Also, users can save a file into the PDA using a zoom-out function based on a semantic zooming method; the file will gradually shrink until it appears as an icon or a small image on the screen. The focus zooming applications are built on a magnifying glass lens that is a 2D visualization for large rectangular presentations; they allow a user to quickly focus on a part of the PDA screen. In addition, we implement a blurring lens on the screen, so that users can ignore blurred objects to increase their focusing ability. The paper also describes the search zooming applications that allow for easy recognition and comparison of the content of files on the screen. Two types of viewing approaches, a popup viewing method and a shadow viewing method are introduced in this zooming method.","PeriodicalId":439913,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Professional Communication Conference, 2003.

A pilot study examining self-assessment of word processing (Microsoft Word) and presentation application (Microsoft PowerPoint) skills was performed in a graduate course in technical communication. Study population comprised 13 students who completed an online survey of perceptions of proficiency in word processing and presentation software, followed by online examination using a commercial evaluation and remediation package (Skills Assessment Manager [SAM] and Training Online Manager [TOM] by Thomson Learning). SAM exams simulated PowerPoint and Word operations, and were adapted from Microsoft Office User Specialist (MOUS) preparation instruments, based on skills objectives for Microsoft certification. Participants accessed the TOM online tutorial, and performed a second set of equivalent exams, 62% accurately self-assessed skill level in PowerPoint, while 38% overestimated skill. 23% accurately self-assessed skill level in Word, while 11% overestimated skill. Mean difference between pre and post-training PowerPoint scores was 14.38%, statistically significant (p < .001). Mean difference between pre and post-training Word combined scores was 10.46%, statistically significant (p < .001), Participants expressed appreciation for attention to foundational technical tools skills. A long term, refined study will follow.","PeriodicalId":439913,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Professional Communication Conference, 2003. IPCC 2003.

Our interdisciplinary courses introduced students to global issues both from the perspective of power relationships and through understanding intercultural communication. The course assignments required students to do field research, use technology, and work as part of teams. Students learned to think critically about key global issues. The team project required students to do extensive research using technology, to conduct interviews, and to explore other types of field research in addition to more traditional library research. Moreover, with the extensive use of technology in our assignments, we made sure that our students gained the necessary skills for the modern work environment. Finally, collaboration with another discipline can help students see the broader implications of what they learn in international relations and technical communication courses.","PeriodicalId":439913,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Professional Communication Conference, 2003.
