#1 on Yahoo! What Matters More Than Habits Of Mind? 		WRITING THE ONLINE COURSE : Excerpt: *Our course is going to be fast-paced and demanding, but the end result will be that you will have knowledge and a zone of comfort with the crucial aspects of designing your e-Portfolio.* Extremely well-constructed PDF example, 508KB.
WRITING THE ONLINE COURSE 		SME WRITING : Orientation : FLIGHT CREW! : Excerpt: *It has been about 40 years that educators and computer scientists have been using the computer for educational purposes. The power of digital art has been going strong for less time, but in dynamic ways for over 15 years, with special strongholds in print, publication, and advertising... Never before has the artist been so empowered as he or she is now, fully enabled to use the incredible universe of information that is ... the World Wide Web.*
SME WRITING : Orientation : FLIGHT CREW! 		SME WRITING : A Time For Introductions : Excerpt: *You should have very high expectations of this class. You've worked hard for many months on individual pieces, and now it is time to bring all of that together into a cohesive *entity* that will speak solely of YOU. Consider this... What are the steps you will take, to create your winning portfolio? In your heart, I know you have a vision ...*
SME WRITING : A Time For Introductions 		BOOKS : RETHINKING PRESENTATION : Excerpt: *When we talk about VISION, we must reach out and encompass much more than just artistic gifts, or creative skills, or history of art. We must begin to comprehend the spirit of the act of making art... We must *experience design.* Every artist is a spokesperson for their culture, climate, and time.*
BOOKS : RETHINKING PRESENTATION
SME WRITING : Making The Deadline : Excerpt: *The portfolio: it is not only the artist's work that is being judged - the artist is also being judged. Is this artist serious? Will he or she succeed in the art world? Your portfolio should make an impact on viewers with your vision, as well as with how well you have mastered your medium. The core of the business side of your art lies in very non-art activities... success lies in project management, and how productively we MEET OUR DEADLINES.*
SME WRITING : Making The Deadline 		SME WRITING : The Art of Self Assessment : Excerpt: *Meaningful reflection takes practice. Making the right strategies for your future during these modern digital times can be difficult. If you start with self-assessment, you will clarify more choices and broaden your options. A personal inventory can disclose your abilities, interests, and attitudes. It will help you form a solid bond between your thoughts and how this is reflected in your art. Become confident that you know yourself.*
SME WRITING : The Art of Self Assessment 		BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE! : Excerpt: *Creativity is rooted in a state of being inquisitive. Without curiosity, we would never question, or be instigated toward discovery. We would never hear the daydreams that call out to be fulfilled. This is creative questioning! Define your vision by taking steps of introspection. Write about them, clearly. As time goes on, this Vision Statement will change, but you will always have a written history to return to. There is strength in history.*
BRING YOUR VISION TO LIFE! 		SME WRITING : Review, Revise, Rework! : Excerpt: *Self-responsibility has become the word for the new Millennium. Most people are continuously keeping an eye on what is going on in the world - globally, nationally, and locally. They seek out opportunities. For some of that group, this tendency to self-independence is even stronger. They are prepared to make a sacrifice, to endure setbacks. Entrepreneurs demonstrate leadership.*
SME WRITING : Review, Revise, Rework! 		THE ALMIGHTY SCHEDULE : Excerpt: *Time management is a personal instead of a societal issue in our culture. Are you frazzled? Too overworked? That's your problem. Take care of it. Or don't! Just make sure you pay your bills and show up for work on time! We muddle our minds with fuzzy promises about what we should or could do. Most stress doesn't come from having too much to do - it comes from not honoring agreements you've made with yourself.*
THE ALMIGHTY SCHEDULE 		SME WRITING : Revisiting Art 101 : Excerpt: *One of the supreme gifts provided to us by the cosmos is the gift of creation. Unfortunately, for many people, it is a gift that is often left unopened. You, who have traveled this far and with this much commitment, are to be commended for being among an elite group who has deeply pondered their gifts, and are taking them in front of a global audience!*
SME WRITING : Revisiting Art 101
SME WRITING : Inspiration Station! : Excerpt: *Self-introspection has probably led to a deeper understanding of the challenge that lies ahead in a digital art world. It has also most likely had an effect on your *history* as an artist... the story that is within you that is the driving force behind why you have chosen this visual form of expression. Each of your artworks tells a story, and YOU are the Storyteller.*
SME WRITING : Inspiration Station! 		SME WRITING : Powerful Resource Links : Excerpt: *As with any business venture (and don’t kid yourself - placing your art, heart, and vision online will catapult you into one form or another of the business world), you need to take a strong look at your competition. Always, as with any critique, this should be a good-natured act, and with a desire to give what you can, as well as take away that which is meaningful to your own road.*
SME WRITING : Powerful Resource Links 		SME~WRITING : Weekly Deadlines : Helping online students to adjust their works to an assigned parameter of look, feel, design, size limitations, etc. -- *in a highly technical world of space ships and beastly **bumps** in the (galactic) dark!*
SME WRITING : Weekly Deadlines 		WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU IN DESIGN SCHOOL : Excerpt: *A portfolio is priceless as a source of self-satisfaction and pride. Like all symbols of development and success, portfolios help awaken feelings of accomplishment. Unlike awards given by others, portfolios are intensely personal - a celebration of triumph in the self-evaluation process and in works completed. Over time, reflection will radically affect your professional choices and directions.*
WHAT THEY DON'T TEACH YOU IN DESIGN SCHOOL 		SME~WRITING : Quick HTML : A Basic Page : Excerpt: *If this is your first experience with HTML, the basic language of the Internet, you can easily get started with this tutorial: Quick HTML – A Basic Page. Most times, for highly effective artist's sites, remember: Stark brilliance can be created when using a simple Web structure. Profound simplicity will perfectly enhance your work, rather than the Web site design.*
SME WRITING : Quick HTML : A Basic Page 		SME~WRITING : The Digital Artist's Toolkit : Excerpt: *Everyone and everything has become a *Digital Something* or *Online Whatever.* There is still that element of utter truth that makes these phrases continue to be used by the throngs. You ARE now truly a Digital Artist! It is valuable to examine your personal artist's toolkit, your expanding use and mastery of the tools, and where you want to take these skills as you solidly build the foundation of an online presence.*
SME WRITING : The Digital Artist's Toolkit
DEVELOP A CAMPAIGN! : Excerpt: *An E-mail newsletter is an excellent way to establish credibility, promote business, and stay in regular touch with clients or prospects. Done well, readers will look forward to receiving your ONE form of shameless self-promotion! E-newsletters are perfect for freelancers who provide services - we, who get the largest part of our business from old-fashioned Word-Of-Mouth. Today, they have a fancier word for it: viral marketing!*
DEVELOP A CAMPAIGN! 		SME~WRITING : Build That Biz Plan! : Excerpt: *Often, we don't spend time figuring out how we are going to get from where we are to where we want to be. How do we know how far we have gotten unless we have some overall plan? But, what is the right level of detail? Plan enough to give yourself a clear sense of direction, without being immobilized, until you have figured out how to handle every possible detail.*
SME WRITING : Build That Biz Plan! 		THE ART OF DIGITAL STORY TELLING : Excerpt: *I believe the notion of story; a form of reflection that can revolutionize - and the capacity of the personal computer - are being forged together into some sort of new life-management instrument. The core requisite for a work such as this is taking the time to make a story. For the digital artist, this means you can combine content, commerce, community, and communications, to create the workplace where you work online... bring your story to life.*
THE ART OF DIGITAL STORY TELLING 		SME~WRITING : Your Portfolio On CD : Excerpt: *Generating a portfolio to catch the attention of new clients can be time-consuming. If it's a traditional *hard-copy* item, you may very well need a private bodyguard! An elegant presentation case + a set of quality prints + display supplies + assembly + shipping + promo printed materials = total costs of $1,000 or more! *SIGH* There IS a much less pricey remedy to this dilemma...*
SME WRITING : Your Portfolio On CD 		BEING A FREE AGENT : Excerpt: *Your Artist's Statement will be an important working document for you. However, the process can be deeply frustrating - so much so that even the most professional, responsible artist might never begin the act of writing. It ends up being saved for some
BEING A FREE AGENT 		SME~WRITING : Editing Toward A Specific Interview : Excerpt: *I believe that creative people are intrinsically curious. Curiosity and experimentation are usually found side-by-side, in the nature of most artists. Different clients will need different approaches... unique samplings of your pieces. *Thinking outside the box* is key if you want to stand out. Your work could be compared to filet mignon - overdone or undercooked, it will land in the trash.*
SME WRITING : Editing Toward A Specific Interview
SME~WRITING : Critique On A Grander Scale : Excerpt: *Each job completed well - is a success. Positive recognition by your peers will become more important to you. Knowing that trained professionals support your style will elevate your feelings of self worth. Sometimes, words of critique - or more difficult, of criticism - will come from a client. Be sensitive to the nature of what they say; however, do not let damaging words invade your sense of self-image.*
SME WRITING : Critique On A Grander Scale 		FUNDING LARGE INSPIRATIONS : Excerpt: *A need for inspiration, solace, and diversion... for the very best of man's creativity. Are your dreams affordable - or better said, can we afford NOT to dream? The world of funding for the arts - from federal grants, to local artisan groups, to private venture capitalist groups (Angels) - could become a very important part of your life as an artist.*
FUNDING LARGE INSPIRATIONS 		WRITING : Techniques For Successful Group And Team Activity : Defining the terms, *group* versus *team.* A discussion of which techniques could be used for successful group/team activity in an interactive, online classroom. Topics: performance goals, communication that clears the way for exceptional levels of creativity, Team activity becoming TEAM GOAL, positive and negative aspects to Groupthink, COLLABORATIVE EFFECT of online learning.
WRITING : Techniques For Successful Group And Team Activity 		WRITING : Best Practices in College Teaching – One Solution : Topics: Fostering Learner Self-Responsibility, Cooperative Group Assignments, Best Practices in adult learning, learning strategies, instructional strategies, illustrating ideas, demonstrating skills, Web-Based Tools & Creation of Quick Presentation Piece/Portfolio.
WRITING : Best Practices in College Teaching – One Solution 		WRITING : Interview With An Online Instructor : Topics include: Time management and NOT doing *The Marathon* (get enough sleep!), the technology-challenged student (also high professional, but tech level is low), how to manage weekly feedback to students, managing 100s of discussion threads, learning strategies, assessment methods, future of Education, global learning settings.
WRITING : Interview With An Online Instructor 		E-Cover Design Example #EC1 3D E-Book or Newsletter : I often provide 3D E-Cover designs for many of my individual newsletters, as this is eye-catching when used on home page, for advertising either a free or the latest newsletter.

Newsletter Example #NL3a For HTML/Web Design & Layout 		TEXT NEWS Example #NL3b For HTML/Web Design & Layout : Always provide a choice for readers. Many prefer to not receive HTML. This sample is an enhanced version, and actually in HTML... but is very *printer friendly.* For this version, a simple *select all,* copy & paste will provide a straight text version that will need very little revision before mailing.

Academic Writing & Graphics :: Creating Loyalty In Cyberspace Habitats 		Academic Writing & Graphics :: Does Interface Design Matter? : Every step of the design process must ultimately reflect back to the initial analysis process. All design, development, implementation, and evaluation will be molded by the information successfully gleaned in the analysis procedures.

As with many areas of technical writing, for instance, this ability to help and clarify the communications process is one very important beginning step in translating subject matter known to just a few ... into a structure that is usable by many.
