Blog Post #1 - Topic Interests

Hi everyone! I have not thought of any topics that have generally stuck as something I would want to research. But, I have skimmed the ideas of:

  • How user experience with technical documentation and usability changes with different techniques. 
  • Analyze strategies for how technical communicators adapt their own content for different cultural and ethnic backgrounds. 

I think both of these topics have the opportunity to be looked at further with some surprising and interesting facts.

    Hi Frankie! I think that even though you are not yet sure about those topics, you could possibly personalize them to make them more interesting to you. For example, your idea of "How user experience with technical documentation and usability changes with different techniques." You could personalize it by making the website you study this on a school website or a news outlet website or other website that you personally use. And your topic "Analyze strategies for how technical communicators adapt their own content for different cultural and ethnic backgrounds." For this one, you could study how technical communicators that you admire or know apply those things. I think both topics are a good starting point to grow it into something impactful.

Blog #3 Research Gap

Research gaps I have found in my literature review are the lack of personal experience that these scholarly articles provided. A lot of the scholarly articles I used, used a lot of third-person. They lacked the personalization. Writers talked a lot about others' experiences instead of the outsiders giving their own stories. Yes, all of the scholarly articles I provided remain true and valid, but I think it would have been beneficial to give more examples of outcomes of cross-cultural technical communication. Overall, this was still one of my favorite papers to write and I am looking forward to investigating this topic further.

Blog #4

 My plans for revisions are pretty self-explanatory. I want to change my convenience sampling and turn it into interviews. After the peer reviews, it opened my eyes to the wider picture of my research question. I thought surveys might be a sufficient way to collect data. However, after a thorough peer review, I am settling on doing interviews with staff, faculty, and students to compare the differences and cross-culture differences between multi-cultures. I also want to focus on how upbringings differ from a person's point-of-view when they become a fully-ranged adult.
