<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Dear Technical Communication Instructors—<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">In the spirit of sharing resources that Sam Dragga and others have shown, given below are links to the short films on technical presentations and technical writing that
I most often assign to students both in my own writing courses and in my guest lectures for engineering and science courses. All the films are less that 10 minutes, and most are less than 6 minutes.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Since moving my teaching online three weeks ago, I have been assigning one or perhaps two such films before an online class period as a preparation assignment. That way,
I can begin the class period with questions that multiple students can answer simultaneously through the chat. Other films, I assign as supplements to what I could not cover. More complete listings of films are available at
<a href="http://www.assertion-evidence.com">www.assertion-evidence.com</a> and <a href="http://www.craftofscientificwriting.com">
www.craftofscientificwriting.com</a>. I hope that you find value in these resources. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
