This week, we are primarily focusing on studio time, or time devoted to working on your deliverables, creating your final portfolio, catching up on weekly writing assignments, and any other work product related to the class. Make use of this time and our lab computers to get as much done before you leave today. Add a comment to this post for this week’s weekly writing assignment focused on our penultimate readings.
In the screenshot above, you can see the header image of a post that I wrote about my teaching setup and workflow when the pandemic began. It’s purpose was to help less technically savvy colleagues see how to setup their workspace and develop a digital workflow meant to support teaching remotely. When you have to figure out a workflow or process on your own, it can be a great writing exercise to commit it to the page and share it online–not only as a way to help others but also as a way to demonstrate your expertise about the process and as a technical communicator!
