LCC 3401 provides information regarding the principles and concepts of technical communication and creates opportunities for students to practice technical communication skills in developing proposals, analytical reports, and related oral presentations. The course integrates information delivery through an interactive website with activities in production classrooms containing 25 students. Students will work with students in Russia and locally at Georgia Tech in interactive Internet environments to develop materials, gather responses, and engage in critical analyses while pursuing collaborative analytic projects.
Beginning with the premise that technical communication exists only within contextual situations, and both uses and creates information designed for specific purposes in specific communities (those already existing within organizations as well as those created for a unique purpose), this course asks students to explore both primary and secondary research venues (especially electronic ones), to analyze situations and audiences, to work collaboratively in an electronic environment, and to create documents and oral presentations which communicate through effective structure, prose, and visual presentation.
