Together with Technology : Writing Review, Enculturation, and Technological Mediation Paperback / softback
by Jason Swarts
Part of the Baywood's Technical Communications series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book examines the complex roles that texts serve as parts of an organizational cognitive infrastructure.
Texts make knowledge and experience tangible and durable.
They help shape interactions between people. As professions have become more writing-centered in recent decades, many organizations have instituted writing review practices to help newcomers produce better writing and thus become more effective organizational citizens.Dr. Swarts examines those writing review practices and questions whether available supportive technologies adequately prepare professional writers and professionals who write to appreciate the complex functions their texts serve.
He reports on a study of the impact of two technologies (paper text and textual replay) on writing review.
Unlike paper, which presents texts in a static form, textual replay presents texts as the products of writing practices.
Textual replay records onscreen writing activity and creates a video that writers and reviewers use to supplement their discussion of revisions.
