Title A name given to the resource Technical Writing: Public Health Windshield Tour Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Jillian Spinelli Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 11/30/2017 Description An account of the resource Windshield Tour paper of Dorchester, MA. Researchers examine the social determinants (ex: economy, access to health care, housing) and the connection to public health issues the community is struggling with. Tackling health issues in a community starts with a "windshield tour". A windshield tour is when the researchers go to the city and observes the people and environment. It is called windshield because you can observe while in a car. These observations are crucial to researching an issue such as hunger.

The checkpoints include populated places, drainage patterns, roads, railroads, and other distinctive landmarks. The aeronautical information on sectional charts includes visual and radio aids to navigation, airports, controlled airspace, restricted areas, obstructions, and related data. These charts are updated every six months, and if they are not updated, pilots are not allowed to use them. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/e202ddde6a0b523f9d42442567781b57.jpg e0dca950159bade60d6d314fd85fe3f0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Non-smoking Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource The non-smoking sign fails as a form of technical communication. It prohibits tobacco consumption on campus but it does not state whether it is referring to smoking only or even chewing. It also raises questions with regards to other substances such as cannabis which is now legal in Massachusetts. Also, it does not state if it is around that sign, at all public spaces, or dorms... A traditional non-smoking sign with the picture of a cigarette and a red line intersecting would have replaced the need for sentences and would have delivered a more complete message. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/735d8864d859fc5230f23871c1d9b34d.JPG 1c32d945b45eb38242a26e71906d2a71 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Wind Tunnel Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource The wind tunnel sign sparks curiosity. It does not describe what type of environment is on the other side of the door nor does it state if we need special credentials to enter that room. It is not informative enough. It raises more questions than answers, and for that reason we ave classified it as an ineffective way of technical communication. A successful sign would have stated: "access restricted", "safe/unsafe environment", protective wear needed/not needed". https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/e725c2beb3f089a3fa52e3da3eb982d3.JPG bd8d80532a4eaa444b2e075a0fceca47 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Floor number Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource What makes this sign successful is the choice of placement. They have placed it at the second floor of the library, at the stairwell. As that is the first object we see as we go from one floor to another, current location becomes pretty obvious and the sign successfully serves a purpose. Another good spot for it would have been by the elevator on that floor. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/ead3f4b5381a08c481699fa7c12a39a6.JPG 115c537eddddccaed74c6b8a20fbea3c Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Quiet Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource The Quiet Zone is an example of failed technical communication on campus because its creator limited it its audience to anglophones only by not adding any helpful visual aids. Although we can argue that we are in a english-speaking country, this is however a highly cosmopolitan society. It is common to have visitor from other countries and a "Q" will not mean anything if someone does not know what "quiet" means. A more effective sign would have perhaps an image of someone placing the index finger over the lips--an universal command for silence. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/1df35e2b692d79298513c0e90969892d.jpg 167ab5518d64eaeb6ad3983c382424f9 Still Image A static visual representation.

They contain arrow keys that indicate direction and an octagon that resembles the universal shape of a "stop" sign. They also have appropriate choices of color: green for the arrows that suggest movement, and red for the stop button which suggests a pause, interruption, a "stop"; common associations with traffic lights. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/36599c6fe001ebe016dbef7b94fead8a.JPG 4a7f9085ce02e52a502b3e773b9662e1 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Defibrillator Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource The defibrillator sign takes full advantage of graphics to inform its audience: anyone who has been trained to use the equipment and taught how to locate it. The lighting symbol inside the heart shape makes it easer for people to understand what that is and very unique so people will not confuse it with something else such as a fire alarm for instance. https://omeka.maxwelllibrary.org/files/original/7fb8e411cecb416dcbdbafdad81e5c07.jpg 7e87db122944ad30a62abbcd236847b9 Still Image A static visual representation.

Title A name given to the resource Menu Screen Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Lucas Souza Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2017-11 Description An account of the resource The Quixote's menu at the cafeteria presents itself as a successful example of technical communication in terms of design. It contains large font so people can read it from far away, it has the prices for every items, and it lists all available ingredients that kitchen has. It fails in terms of delivery. The menu is a slideshow; every page is a slide. The flaw is on the speed. Each slide (or page) only shows for 3 seconds or less; not enough time to read the full screen. To reach the bottom of one screen, we have to wait for the slide to run twice or three times. To make it successful, they should add more time to each slide.
