Word processing and the writing process |
Writing is an important skill to master. Although new technologies have changed and will continue to change the way we communicate, the importance of writing and written communication continues to grow. Information technology has increased the amount of written communication. At the same time many work processes in our society have changed from individual processes to processes where we work together, share information in writing, give each other written feedback, prepare reports, specifications etc. as the basis for our work. This development has also influenced teaching methods in our schools. The focus on process writing in modern pedagogy is an indication of the increased importance of writing in society in general. While learning to write, our students also learn how to handle the change in working methods. This module focuses on text and writing, on the integration of images and sound in a text document, on synthetic speech and on the use of spell checkers and other text tools. |
