Bridgeford publishes practicum for Technical Communication

Tracy Bridgeford, Professor of English, recently published Teaching Professional and Technical Communication: a Practicum in a Book.

Bridgeford writes in her introduction that the book "grew out of my efforts to create a technical communication pedagogy course for local secondary education teachers, part-time teachers, and graduate students who knew little to nothing about the subject, let alone how to teach it."

According to Bridgeford. this collection of twelve essays "does not aim to be a compendium of best practices" but "does provide plenty of practical advice and examples."

Bridgeford is chair of the English Department at UNO. Her teaching and research interests include technical communication, content management, content strategy, and information design.
