[ATTW-L] Sharing of three online class periods in technical communication

[Alley, Michael P]

Dear Teachers of Technical Communication-

Because so many technical communication courses are moving online after the spring break, I wanted to share three online class periods in technical communication that you are welcome to use.

In addition to sharing the page that students would visit for the class period, I also included an instructor's page, which presents the following:

  1.  instructions for the students,
  2.  possible questions for a comprehension quiz that you would post on Canvas or Blackboard, and
  3.  a follow-up exercise.

Best wishes,

Michael Alley



1. Rethinking Technical Presentations: The Assertion-Evidence Approach
This class period is suited not only for a class period in a technical communication course but also a guest lecture in a technical course such as engineering design.

Student's page:           https://www.assertion-evidence.com/
Instructor's page:        https://www.assertion-evidence.com/online_class.html



2. Writing Technical Reports
This class period is suited for a guest lecture in a technical course. However, I do have my technical communication students go through this tutorial on the first week of classes.
