Resume/ Visual Resume
Rhetoric: A grammatically correct resume along with it being coherent
to the employer is a vital aspect when you’re trying to get the job you
want. By incorporating multiple experiences and key traits, this allows
the employer to be confident in your ability to do the tasks for whatever
job you’re applying for. Doing this demonstrates various qualifications
that can be beneficial for insuring that I have worked hard in preparing
myself rather than presenting a sloppy resume which is a major error
when it comes to applying for a job.
Unit 1
4. 4
Resume/ Visual Resume
Writing: Editing for grammatical and
spelling errors gives the resume a better
chance of being seriously looked at.
Correcting these errors shows
professionalism and gives the employer
confidence that I’m able to complete a
task the right way.
Unit 1
5. 5
Resume/ Visual Resume
Design: Being consistent with font,
spacing and headers is needed when
presenting a resume to an employer. If
the resume is too busy and wordy the
employer will toss it aside. Using quick
to read statements and bullet points
when listing experience and summary
profile. Good alignment will make the
resume look more professional.
Unit 1
6. 6
Resume/ Visual Resume
Collaboration & Applied Technology:
Microsoft Word is a great tool that can
be used for creating a resume. To create
a visual resume using SlideDoc is better.
SlideDocs are meant to be printed and
handed out instead. PowerPoint's are
meant for presentations, this is why
SlideDoc is better suited for a visual
resume.
SlideDoc is great for people to create
great ideas and share them. A SlideDoc
can be read more quickly than a
PowerPoint or document.
Unit 1
7. 7
Resume/ Visual Resume
Ethics & Culture: Ethical issues that can occur that
should be avoided are privacy, plagiarism,
race/age/gender, incorrect data and false promotion.
Having an accurate resume is vital. If there’s false
information such as experience or knowledge on a
resume it won’t take very long before an employer
figures out the truth.

8. 8
Instructional Mobile App
Rhetoric: A common problem when a flat
occurs on a vehicle is the car manual is
not user friendly and can be hard to
navigate. The diction used in our app
allows user friendly instructions on how
to change a spare tire, which is a
common occurrence on the road.
Unit 2
9. 9
Instructional Mobile App
Writing: The choice of words used to
explain the steps in the mobile app is
vital. By using easy to understand
instructions it allows users to change a
tire without having to wonder what a
word is. Phrasing each step so that the
user can easily know where every part
is and what each tool is used for is very
important.
Unit 2
10. 10
Instructional Mobile App
Design: Having a simple main menu is
important to avoid confusion. Have easy
to use navigation tools such as back
and forward arrows and a home button
that takes the user back to the main
menu.
Unit 2
11. 11
Instructional Mobile App
Collaboration & Applied Technology: We
faced many challenges when creating
our mobile app as a group. Using the
group Wiki was important so we could
all stay on the same page. We used a
group task sheet to spread out the work
evenly and to be sure we weren't
working on the same task as another
group member.
Using GoogleDocs was important
because it allowed us to put the mobile
app together. It also allowed us to see
the progress on task the other group
members were working on.
Unit 2
12. 12
Instructional Mobile App
Ethics & Culture: Having an app that has one language
option will be an issue, so there needs to be a
language option. The app also needs to be accurate.
If there’s incorrect steps on the app then it becomes
useless.
Unit 2
13. 13
Usability Testing Report
Rhetoric: Based on the testimonials of our
users this allowed us to enhance our app to
make it more realistic. By doing so this fix the
common problem of using unclear diagrams
and incorporating the exact example of the
truck to illuminate the gray areas. This then
further draws our future users to use our app.
Unit 3
14. 14
Usability Testing Report
Writing: It’s important to use short and
simple statements on the test report.
Small paragraphs and bullet points
makes reading the methods used, test
objectives and results & findings easy.
Unit 3
15. 15
Usability Testing Report
Design: The test report should have a table
of contents showing what will be discussed.
Be consistent with bullet points. The report
should also be organized.
Unit 3
16. 16
Usability Testing Report
Collaboration & Applied
Technology: To design
the test report we used
SlideDoc. When using
SlideDoc the user can
read more quickly than
PowerPoint. It also
allowed us to divide the
work up evenly.
Unit 3
17. 17
Usability Testing Report
Ethics & Culture: If the app only has one language option and a
user doesn’t speak that language then that’s an issue. When
running test on the app and this problem occurs it needs to be
recorded and written down on the report under results and
findings.
Unit 3
18. 18
Video Presentation
Rhetoric: Using the app can still be challenging for some
users who don’t have any experience on changing a
tire, or just have a hard time understanding the app
instructions. By recording this video presentation we
were able to verbally explain and visually show how to
navigate through the app and educate the user on what
each of the steps mean.
Unit 4
19. 19
Video Presentation
Writing: Using correct grammar and spelling is vital
when making the video presentation. Having correctly
spelled subtitles that follow along with the audio is
important for users who may not be able to hear.
Editing the video presentation for incorrect spelling is
needed to be sure users don’t get confused when trying
to learn how to use the app.
Unit 4
20. 20
Video Presentation
Design: The presentation should be designed so that
users are able to watch the video without being
distracted by unnecessary background noise and
movements. Putting the subtitles on the bottom of the
screen allows the user to read and watch the steps at
the same time.
Unit 4
21. 21
Video Presentation
Collaboration & Applied Technology: To record the video
presentation we needed a software that would show the
app and record audio also. We used Screen Cast to do
this. It allowed us to go through the app and show the
users how to correctly navigate. In the background you
can hear the person running the app talking about it
too.
Unit 4
22. 22
Video Presentation
Ethics & Culture: The video presentation needs to have
subtitles. If it doesn’t then users who are deaf will not
be able to watch it and understand. The subtitles need
to have a language option also.
Unit 4
23. 23
Proposal
Rhetoric: The proposal stated our
credentials and professionally illustrates
on how the app can not only benefit the
user but the Ford Motor Company. By
utilizing the proposal this helps the
common issue that both parties are
satisfied and not leaving out anyone,
which further influences the company to
use our app.
Unit 5
24. 24
Proposal
Writing: When typing up the proposal its important to make
sure the correct audience is being targeted. To impress the
ford motor company the proposal needs to be organized and
professional. With spelling and grammar errors in the proposal
the app would not get approved by the company. Using the
correct tone when writing the proposal is vital.
Unit 5
25. 25
Proposal
Design: The proposal needs to address the company, and
show who it is from. Have a subject line so the company
knows what they are about to read. The proposal needs
to explain why the app was created and what problems it
solves. Be consistent with fonts, headers and spacing.
The cover page should have a picture of the product
discussed.
Unit 5
26. 26
Proposal
Collaboration & Applied Technology: To
create the proposal we used
GoogleDocs. We were able to work on
the project at the same time. We
decided to divide the work into three.
Once we finished the rough draft
GoogleDocs allowed us to go in and edit
each others work.
Unit 5
27. 27
Proposal
Ethics & Culture: Its important that the proposal doesn’t have
incorrect or misleading information. The company will find
out and reject the app if so. False promotion will lead to more
problems too. The proposal needs to be addressed to an
audience that of all genders. If the company is foreign be
sure to send the proposal in multiple languages.
