Technical Communication and the World Wide Web

"Editors Lipson and Day provide a nice compilation of chapters from a variety of authors concerning the pedagogy and practical application of communicating on the World Wide Web....it is easy to see how this one book can serve as a guide for repurposing course contents so faculty, students, and tomorrow's professional writers have practical experiences with the changing world of technical communication on the Web. Highly recommended."—CHOICE"Technical Communication and the World Wide Web is a compendium of articles from teaching professionals who use the World Wide Web in their curricula....a book that technical communicators should have in their resource library."—Technical Communications
