Evaluate modern workplaces where humans and technologies interact.
Develop communication strategies that build human safety nets into automated workflows.
This video is pretty long, but its also a pretty good introduction to ethics in the context of technology and design. We will talk more about ethics as it specifically relates to technical communication in a later module, but I'd like you to try to watch or at least listen to this video. Feel free to take breaks throughout or listen to it on a long drive.
More than Memos is a YouTube account with some really great analyses of different examples of technical communication. With each module, I'll assign you a video to watch with a different example. Enjoy!
Rachael Jordan, the speaker in this video, is actually a good friend of mine from grad school!
Module 2 Discussion: Topic Brainstorming
Module 2 Discussion: Topic Brainstorming
Our course theme this semester is Emerging Technology and Ethical Design. We'll spend the semester learning about various topics within this theme, and then near the end of the semester you will work in a group to do research on a related topic to produce a recommendation report. So, let's start brainstorming some possible topics that might fall under these categories.
Post at least one idea to this discussion board. If you can't think of anything new, contribute your thoughts to another's idea by commenting on theirs.
