      This is a good comparable site to part of our team writing text. Several factors like editing and proofreading relate more to the details in part 2 chapter 6 in revising team member's work. In relation to part one it does express organization from the beginning and accountability. We have to set deadlines and brainstorm how to structure collaboration for this assignment.
  • Team writing makes invention strategies public and explicit (brainstorming, listing, outlining). Team writing encourages multiple perspectives and multiple drafts. Team writing demands revision, analysis of revision strategies, and makes revision public and explicit. Team writing focuses on the presentation of the final product, encouraging editing and proofreading. Team writing allows writers to recognize differences in style, tone, organization among different writers. Team writing forces writers to reflect on their own and others' strengths, weaknesses, and individual styles and processes of writing. Team writing demands analysis of rhetorical and stylistic choices.
  • FACTORS in SUCCESSFUL TEAM WRITING the degree to which goals are clearly articulated and shared the degree of openness and mutual respect among group members the degree of control writers have over the text the degree to which writers can respond to others who may modify the text the way credit (directly or indirectly) is given an agreed-upon procedure for responding to work in process and for revising/editing
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • Set deadlines for drafts; devote one whole team meeting to responses/revision of drafts. Develop, as a team, a series of questions for each reader to ask about other writers' drafts; decide, as a team, what you want to look for in each writer's draft Before distributing drafts to the team, each writer should provide a cover letter with the draft, explaining what she/he tried to accomplish, pointing out strengths/weaknesses, and asking readers specific questions about problem areas. Write back to each writer and be prepared to discuss your responses. Provide both positive and negative feedback to writers. Be descriptive, pointing to particular sections or sentences, providing suggestions for revision and explanations of those changes.
  • As the team projects progress, ask students to monitor their progress in writing, by submitting weekly minutes, for example.
  • PLANS FOR COMPLETION What tasks are left to do? How have you divided/assigned them? What do you still need to find? Do you have enough/too much material for your presentation? TEAM PROCESS Describe the way your team is working together. How have you organized the work? Division of tasks? Lead writer? Lead researcher? Lead presenter? Any problems in the team process?

    This page describes methods of organization and repetition. It's the rinse and repeat method that keeps the post system in order. It tells you to wait to post until a specified time, and while your blog draft is saved if something comes up you can add to or modify your blog.

    Well this is an example of BAD flow. There are so many things going on here that I can't get organized. All of the titles are bold throughout the page but very spread out, there is a grid but no flow or organization. On the far left there are categories but that is one small example of flow on the website. Otherwise, I think the NY Times website is too scattered and needs a more consistent flow.

  • Balancing the content of your webpages is more that just producing an attractive layout.
  • People coming to your website are looking for some specific information and/or product details and the sooner they find it the better your website's performance will be.
  • The above example makes good use of white space to lead the eye around the page. It also emphasizes the main features of the page with a logical organization of both text and graphics. Be sure your webpage is properly balanced and organized into logical information zones. Avoid clutter that will cause a distraction

  • Avoid placing navigation bars, ads and links in inappropriate places on your page. (e.g. most clicks on ads come from the ones that are embedded in the content of the page anyway) They should never detract from the main focus of your webpage.

      NB:Good alignment is invisible. Most readers wont conciously notice that everything is lined up neatly but they will feel it when things are out of alignment
    • Alex Portela
      Alex Portela on 09 Feb 12
       
      Alignment involves the visual effect of setting object or text in an order that is comfortable for the viewer and deliver proper impact. Edge and Center are main concepts. Fine points impact the placement of them object where it makes more sense and balances the picture.
  • ALIGNMENT
  • ...9 more annotations...
  • Items can line up either along their edges or on their centers. Alignment is used extensively to organize all graphic arts. Almost all text uses alignment to organize lines of type. The letters align along their bases and the lines begin (and/or end) along a line
  • There are two major types of alignment: edge and center.
  • EDGE ALIGNMENT Any object with flat edge(s) can be used for edge alignment. Rectangles are especially well suited for this since they have four flat edges to align. Their right angels also give a sense of order to a composition using them (similarity).
  • CENTER ALIGNMENT Any shaped items can be organized using center alignment. Simple shapes work best because it is easier to judge their centers so the alignment is easier to notice.
  • FINE POINTS
  • The edges of information within a picture can also align with other edges in a composition. This technique can add subtle touches to a composition.
  • Centering in a negative space is a kind of alignment. This works best when there is some other alignment to back up the centering.
  • Narrow strips of background between pictures and text blocks are called gutters.
  • Inserts are words or images that overlap other images. They can partially overlap or be completely inside. They make a compact package of two or more sets of information and can conserve space or hide unwanted areas in an image.

    This is a really great website which goes really in-depth about alignment. It covers the basics, but also shows more subtle techniques, such as center alignment on a vertical axis, center alignment in negative space with gutters and alignment which occures within the actual pictures.
  • Leslie Lopez on 06 Feb 12
     
    This webpage was helpful because it focused on alignment of images. This is beneficial because we are in the middle of reviewing and editing our comic tutorials. By placing your cursor over the images with red figures, you are also able to see the grid that was used which I thought was pretty cool!
  • Yajahira Bojorquez on 07 Feb 12
     
    Good website it talks about the two basic types of alignment and it gives good examples and pictures explaining each one. Edge and center alignment are the two basic types of alignment. Center alignment also refers to having a symmetrical balance.
  • Anastacia Albinda on 08 Feb 12
     
    I like this website because it features a lot of examples of alignment. It uses examples such as shapes and pictures. It also touches a little bit on the grid system, which I thought was neat! :)

  • 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.

  • According to America Online’s most recent survey, 26 percent of its users use IM at work. Of that 26 percent, 58 percent use IM to communicate with colleagues, and 49 percent use it to get answers and make business decisions.1
  • IM allows users to transfer files and images, which can be dangerous. IM was originally designed for entertainment purposes. The software did not take into account the possible transfer of sensitive data such as electronic personal health information.
  • IM software has a very basic technology structure, which creates many security issues.

  • Managing records of IM chats is tricky and exists in a gray area legally. Are IM chats part of daily business records and thus the patient’s record? Depending on the content of the discussion, certain messages may need to be kept. Activity that contains electronic personal health information or involves a patient and that’s passed between users should be logged and audited.
  • The reality for many organizations is that IM is already in use, regardless of the threats involved
  • To IM or not to IM, that is the question. IM has its advantages and disadvantages. Do the risks outweigh the benefits or do the benefits outweigh the risks? Every organization should carefully consider both when deciding whether or not to use IM.

    This site is of interest as it seeks to compile and make available a complete collection of historical documents, sorted and organized by area of academic or topical interest. Such a project is a prime example of the utility of a networked information age - students and teachers alike have direct access to primary source materials rather than depending on the analyses of others. Being physically distant from an important work is no longer a barrier to access. While not purely a link dedicated to the process of documentation, I think this is a valuable inclusion as an example of the power of digital documentation as an assistant to our own documentation.
