Documenting the Flow of Rule-Based Programming in Expert Systems  

With the spread of new technology, technical communicators face interesting new challenges for solving documentation problems. One area of software development that technical communicators are increasingly becoming involved in is that of rule-based expert systems. Because of their complexity, both the systems and their documentation can be difficult to maintain. Technical communicators can solve some of these maintenance problems by flow-charting only the chaining structure of the rule-base design.

Static in the Electronic Classroom: Can Technology Get in the Way of Learning?  

Technology can be a very powerful tool in the technical communication classroom, but can technology sometimes get in the way of learning? It can if we do not carefully plan our transition from the traditional to the electronic classroom. In preparing for this transition, we must consider the needs of our students, the capabilities of the technology, and our own responsibilities as instructors.
