    Here is the link to my blog site and usability test. There are instructions as a single pdf file to be reviewed, a search to be conducted and a 13 question survey/poll afterwards. You may open the pdf file in one window and then go through the instructions in a different window to keep the pdf file accessible. I have left a section for comments/suggestions on the poll but you may add them to my blog as site as well. Thank you in advance for participating.

    I found chapter 3 of this document useful. It gives you common elements of good writing, do's and don'ts of writing styles and usage. All of the chapters are relevant for this project and provide a checklist at the end of each.

  • Remediation is the incorporation or representation of one medium in another medium. Generally speaking, remediation is the act of providing a remedy.
  • According to their book Remediation: Understanding New Media by J. David Bolter and Richard A. Grusin, remediation is a defining characteristic of new digital media because digital media is contstantly remediating its predecessors (television, radio, print journalism and other forms of old media).
  • Although our culture wants to multiply its media it also wants to erase all traces of mediation. For example, a typical webiste may be hypermediated, offering photographs and streaming video. These media mediate between the viewer and the meaning of the photographs and video. The viewer does not want mediation, an intervening agency, but instead the wants immediacy, a way to get beyond mediation.[2]
  • ...15 more annotations...
  • Remediation and RealityEdit Because media intervenes, or mediates between viewers and what is represented, meaning is not immediate. In order to receive the meaning immediately, the viewer can ignore the presence of the medium and the act of mediation or by diminishing the medium's represntational function.
  • Redmediation as ReformEdit When a new medium is introduced, users expect that it will improve upon the flaws of the preceding medium and will deliver meaning more immediately. By improving upon a predecessor, new media justifies itself. The rhetoric of remediation favors immediacy and transparency, even though as the medium matures it offers new opportunities for hypermediacy.[4].

    This article starts off by providing the general meaning of remediation, "the act of proving a remedy". Rememdiation of the new media is refered to constantly remediating the old media like television, radio. A form of remediation is a film basked on a book. This article discusses the process of remediation by continously commenting on, reporducing, and replacing each other.

    This website gives an explanation about remediation and new media.  It also gives an explanation of how remediation is defined by predecessors like the television, radio and or old media like journals.  Media can interact with other kind of media by reproducing and replacing and making other changes.

    I like how this article explains what remediation is and new media. This article talks about the double logic of remediation which are the process of remediation, remediation and reality, redmediation as reform.

    In this PDF file you will find a great source for all information there is to writing a formal report. It has these dandy graphs that illustrates the differences there are to formal reports and proposals. It also gives links to outside resources in finding more help with writing a formal report.
  • Heather Groen on 14 Mar 12
     
    A formal report, as opposed to an informal one, is usually meant for an external audience. The readers will be someone in another company or organization. A formal report is often longer and requires more extensive research. A formal report can also contain a proposal. This text mentions the four R's of planning: reason, receiver, restrictions, and research. The first step is to consider the reason for writing the report. Another thing to consider is which restrictions are needed. For example, is there a strict deadline for the report? Am I able to make graphs/charts or find appropriate images? Next, decide on research. Is the subject too broad or too narrow? This is where brainstorming can help. Finally, determine how to carry out research. What will my sources be? How easily can I access them? The text offers organization suggestions and provides examples of the set up.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 16 Mar 12
     
    This is a good article that tells you how to find distinctions when writing an informal and formal report.  Also, it give you guidelines on how to write a proposal that proceeds within our project.  These article provides examples which are very helpful and easy to follow through.

      Formal reports are used constantly in a professional environment to propose and discuss new ideas and designs. An official report has to flow well so the the ideas, designs, and text flow easily when presented to the right audience. It helps organize and structure thoughts to paper backed with data and other supporting documents.
  • Engineers and scientists write formal reports for many reasons, including the documentation of experiments and designs
  • In a formal report, the audience expects a methodical presentation of the subject that includes summaries of important points as well as appendices on tangential and secondary points
  • ...16 more annotations...
  • Format distinguishes formal reports from an informal reporting of information. A well-crafted formal report is formatted such that the report's information is readily accessible to all the audiences
  • Front Matter
  • The front matter to a formal report includes the preliminary information that orients all readers to the content of the report.
  • Front Cover. The front cover of a formal report is important. The front cover is what people see first.
  • Contents Page. The table of contents includes the names of all the headings and subheadings for the main text.
  • Summary. Perhaps no term in engineering writing is as confusing as the term "summary."
  • References. Use a reference page to list alphabetically the references of your report.
  • Main Text The text portion of your formal report contains the introduction, discussion, and conclusion of your report.
  • Introduction. The introduction of a report prepares readers for understanding the discussion of the report.
  • Discussion. The discussion or middle is the story of your work. You do not necessarily present results in the order that you understood them, but in the order that is easiest for your readers to understand them.
  • Conclusion. The conclusion section analyzes for the most important results from the discussion and evaluates those results in the context of the entire work.
  • Back Matter The back matter portion of your report contains your appendices, glossary, and references.
  • Appendices. Use appendices to present supplemental information for secondary readers.
  • Glossary. Use a glossary to define terms for secondary readers. Arrange terms in alphabetical order.
  • Title Page. The title page for a formal report often contains the same information as is on the cover.

    This website contained a lot of information that just gave an overview on the basics of formal reports. It also explained how formal reports differ from an informal way of reporting information. It also split a formal report into 3 sections that I did not see in the other website I found. In this one it states that there is front matter, main text, and back matter. Each of these contains different sections within as well. Very helpful for when we have to work on Project #3!

  • These basics of creative communication are consistent across art forms: painting, music, dance, acting, poetry, design, and all other artistic endeavors. I divide them into two categories: vocabulary and grammar.

  • Moreover, most of the rules of language have exceptions, and some creative modes of communication make little or no reference to rules. Every language is lent nuance, style and character by the way that each individual uses it, and there are exceptions for every grammatical rule.

      Using funamentals to convey important information is communicating and in a way is like its own language.
  • which are used to define hierarchy, manipulate certain widely understood relationships, and exploit context to enhance or redefine those relationships…all in an effort to convey meaning. Contrast is important because the meaningful essence of any thing is defined by its value, properties, or quality relative to something else. That’s right: nothing has much meaning by itself, which is one reason why design is important.
    • Delaney Hensley
      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      expressing the important information in something is best shown when contrasted. The more a title stands out the more impact it is going to have on the viewer and the easier they will remember that name.
  • contrast is closely tied to human perception and survival instincts, as we’ll examine later, and this makes contrast a powerful and essential tool for designers.

      Delaney Hensley on 08 Jun 11
       
      each piece of finished product has its own role, it is important to distinguish that role and convey it appropriately.
  • The function of contrast in defining meaning can be explained by comparing fundamental opposites: dark/light, soft/hard, fast/slow.
  • every element on the page you’re designing has to be positioned, styled, sized, or otherwise distinguished in accordance with its specific importance and place in the overall communicative objective.
  • ontrast helps lead the reader’s eye into and through your layout.
  • Contrast is everywhere and a part of everything we see, do, experience, and understand.
  • Contrast is just one component of design fundamentals.

    Gives great definitions of contrast and design. I think it will be a great resource now and later.
  • Merlyn Reyna on 24 Jan 12
     
    Contrast defines hierarchy, understanding relationships to convey a message.  It is used to hand in hand with the principle of emphasis in order to keep its emphasis.  Every element must be positioned with style, size, and distinguished with a specific importance.  This article gives an idea of how contrast is typically used by giving examples.

  • Schedule and hold a meeting to establish and adopt group relationship guidelines or group norms.
  • With an external facilitator leading, or a member of the group, in the absence of a facilitator, leading, all group members should brainstorm a list of guidelines that will help create an effective team.
  • Once the list of group norms is generated, you will want to cross redundant ideas off the list.
  • Each member of the group commits to “living” the guidelines.
  • Following the meeting, distribute the group norms to all team members.
  • Periodically evaluate the effectiveness of the group on achieving its business goals as well as its members’ relationship goals.
