Qualitative Research in Technical Communication

Beschreibung

This volume brings together a representative sample from the growing body of work in qualitative research in technical communication. Including examples of qualitative methodologies-including ethnography, case study, focus groups, action research, grounded theory, and interview research- used by technical communicators to strengthen their practice, the result is a rich harmony of perspectives, as diverse as the field of technical communication itself.
