Technical communication through digital media
(2000)Media and Communication Studies
- Abstract
- In this paper technical communication through digital media is discussed. The paper has two major parts; first a development of a theoretical framework that can be used for designing and evaluation technical information in digital media, and second the evaluation of a computer program specially designed for delivering technical information. The evaluation was made with the theoretical framework and the conclusions are: ActiView is very suitable for delivering reference and user manual style of information and its use of interactive 3D visualisations is a good help for the users. The evaluation was made using qualitative method and consisted of interviews with the developers of the program, interviews with users, and a heuristic walkthrough... (More)

The theoretical framework was based on the uses and gratifications approach and was proved useful, and the result was a set of guidelines. (Less)
