Consortium members share ideas, resources, and advice about how best to use the World Wide Web to support writers and teachers. http://tc.eserver.org/14103.html http://tc.eserver.org/14103.html The Instructional Design & Learning (IDL) SIG helps STC members design, develop, and implement technical instruction in electronic and classroom settings. It promotes sound design practices and educates members about instructional theory, research, and tools. The IDL SIG provides resources to STC members interested in the intersection of technical communication and instructional design, especially in the following areas: Training development and delivery. Research and theory in instructional design and learning. Self-paced training development and delivery, including web-based training (WBT) and computer-based training (CBT). Tools for WBT and CBT. http://tc.eserver.org/14090.html http://tc.eserver.org/14090.html Education and research is very broad, therefore, we can expect to learn a great deal about a variety of topics related to education from one another. I welcome this and hope that this SIG will grow and become an open forum for people to share and express ideas on the research that they are performing or hope to perform. I believe that this SIG can provide all of us an opportunity to be exposed to bright insights and novel expressions of creativity and brilliance. Some of my educational research goals are radically unique. It is from this perspective that I hope to elicit similar ideas from others. http://tc.eserver.org/13550.html http://tc.eserver.org/13550.html The largest Canadian association for technical writers. CATTW/ACPRTS (Association canadienne des professeurs de rédaction technique et scientifique) has the unique mandate of encouraging research and discussion about technical communication in both of Canada's two official languages. Our association also actively encourages interdisciplinary and community-based research. http://tc.eserver.org/13078.html http://tc.eserver.org/13078.html The Consortium for the Study of Engineering Communication consists of individual engineering communication scholars from six professional organizations and ten universities who are interested in research relating to the Acreditation Board for Engineering and Technology's Engineering Criteria 2000, expecially EC3(g): 'the ability to communicate effectively.' They are working together on research and development projects to identify best communication practices of successful engineers in industry and ways of assessing students' communication performances. Collaboration with others concerned with engineering communication and assessment is welcome.
