Professor Judy Delin - "Writing for the Web"
Writing implies reading - which means that writing for any medium, the web included, has to consider how people read. This talk looks at what web writing shares with other forms of writing, and then goes on to look at what's different. We examine what readers are trying to do when they encounter web writing, how we can use page layout and typography to help people navigate and digest information, and how we can use the functionality of the web to make that information easy and pleasant to use.
