    Hey guys! I'm a little behind on my work and just now got my comic tutorial draft up. I wanted to see if anyone could do a peer review on it for me, seeing as we need to talk about it in our reflection. I would greatly appreciate it and would be glad to return the favor!

D#11 HW# 3.1: A Review of _Remediation - 0 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      In all honesty this course has introduced very unfamiliar terms. This site give a cited explanation of the definitions. A good example of hypermediacy was given through Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho how we see Norman's acts then Hitchcock puts us through Norman's eyes and its a question of how we react to that emotionally and mentally as viewers.
  • Immediacy is the perfection, or erasure, of the gap between signifier and signified, such that a representation is perceived to be the thing itself.
  • Remediation is the process whereby computer graphics, virtual reality, and the WWW define themselves by borrowing from and refashioning media such as painting, photography, television, and film. It is the anxiety of influence acted out in the poetics of technology
  • ...2 more annotations...
  • Hypermediacy is a "style of visual representation whose goal is to remind the viewer of the medium" (Bolter and Grusin 272). Hypermediacy plays upon the desire for immediacy and transparent immediacy, making us hyper-conscious of our act of seeing (or gazing).
  • Mediation is the representation of an object, a formative interface whereby the object of contemplation is structured and presented by some intervening medium (my definition). In this sense, it refers to the symbolic act itself and thus would include writing.

    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.

    Although this is foremost a retailer of products, Amazon sticks out to me as a successful model of the WWIC concept. Being able to read both customer and professional product reviews allows me to investigate a product's merits and deficincies with ease. I have joked with my wife that Amazon may know me better than anyone. The items Amazon recommends for me are often so closely aligned with my interests that I am impressed with their algorithms to determine my preferences. Occasionally this list of suggestion will contain an item of no interest to me, and I am able to simply click and delete it. Somehow Amazon manages to consult with me in a way I find highly effective.

      The missing concept from the other sites is reviewed here, that is project management. It involves in having a "leader" as a point of reference to guide the project on the intended path. This is the first thing that is established.

D#7 HW#6 Respecting Copyright - 0 views

  • Briefly review subjects covered in last lesson: plagiarism, proper citation and paraphrasing, honesty and trustworthiness in school research and writing.
  • “Who owns copyrighted materials such as movies, music, and web pages?” Tell students that the copyright owner is the person who created the work, e.g. author, musician, artist, computer program/game creator, scientist-inventor, business person, etc.
  • Next ask the class if they are familiar with the Happy Birthday song. Inform them that this song is protected by copyright
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Copyright is a form of legal protection given to the authors of books, music, movies, etc. Users of the books may not make copies without permission from the authors except in limited occurrences for school and personal use where there is no profit involved. This limited use is known as Fair Use which we will talk about shortly.
  • The digital aspect of the web allows for wonderful innovations such as MP3 players but ethical personal use must be employed to avoid legal punishment.
  • The RIAA, the professional organization which represents the recording companies, (Recording Industry Association of America), has reacted with copyright infringement legal actions against schools and college students. Have you noticed the warnings posted on music CDs or movie DVDs?
  • Now there are more legal ways for music customers to purchase their music online with services such as iTunes, Rhapsody, amazon.com, etc. There are even some legitimate free music download examples. For example, some unknown bands may provide free previews online. While other more popular bands or singers may post a sample tune for fans to hear for free.
  • Copyright and Fair Use, inform the students that the expert speaker is an attorney that helps students and professors at a university to learn about the ethics and Fair Use guidelines of copying digital information such as music, movies, or web content for school.
  •  
    This is a good example of how copyright is explained.  The comic shown in this article is very cute and original, gives us an idea of how we can copyright without knowing.

      Repetition is visually exemplified here. A floral design in a abstract scrapbook image shows repeat squares and flower shaped images conservatively spread out. They review points such as shape, type, weight, and color (etc). All of which bring "unity" according to the text.

Social Media Technical Communication: Developing Audience-Centered Content | Content fo... - 1 views

  • This process is really how we already incorporate comments and feedback from our internal content reviewers. With social media, the notable difference is we are using new tools (something technical communicators already know how to leverage quite effectively) and collaborating with our customers first-hand, rather than the customer surrogates and product specialists (product management, marketing, sales, engineering, quality assurance, and customer support) who technical communicators ordinarily rely on for the audience and product information we are already responsible for integrating
  • Rich Maggiani describes social media as “all about community by engaging people through interactions and conversations around a shared goal” (p. 20). He goes on to propose a new model for technical communication, known as– “social media technical communication
  • Through social media, technical communicators are moving from a standard one-to-many communication, to a many-to-many communication, where the content becomes a “collaborative effort, combining the knowledge of all participants

    A good article about not only knowing your audience, but also about using new technology.
