<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">In my experience, it’s best to try one new format per semester so your prep is not so overwhelming and so you can learn how you
will grade it. I find that grading expectations change with the technology/context/delivery because, of course, it changes content, design, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

the main benefits they point out in course feedback. I find it is easier to make rhetorical choices explicit when switching between technologies/delivery formats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I'm thinking of having my students in "Introduction to Technical Communications" deliver their assignments in multiple formats. Generally, they submit a Word document or in situations where the layout and formatting might be at risk, a
PDF file. I've been thinking about having each assignment submitted in a conventional, A4-sized electronic format, and in a format that might retain readability on a cellphone or smaller tablet. My concern is that this may be too much technical overhead
in an introductory course and take time away from other important areas.<o:p></o:p></p>
