Flowcharting
Flowcharts provide a clear documentation of the process. Using a flowchart one is able to demonstrate every step in a process. The flow of steps from left-right and top-down provide for a natural order and make it easy for the audience to follow. The natural order makes it easier to communicate the process to the audience. Flowcharts use standardized symbols, which enhance the readability of the charts Green & Petre, 1992.
The standard symbols assist people to understand the overall scheme and follow the individual steps easily. During the development of a process, it is easier for the team to reduce the risks of complications by having the different steps presented using a flowchart. Having developed the flowchart before implementing the actual process, the team is able to streamline tasks in order to include steps that would produce better outcomes. Using rough drafts one can sketch the flowchart easily before the final flowchart is developed. This allows the presenter to map out all the steps and confirm they have covered all the required steps.
It is true that people understand and remember information presented using charts that text only. Visual presentation is easy and provides the audience with an easy way to comprehend the information. Charts...
The amount of information presented by charts can be equivalent to multiple pages of text. This makes charts the best way to reduce the information. A person is likely to recall information presented using charts than text information, which improves their comprehension. Charts make use of different colors and visuals to display information, which appeals to the audience. With such an appeal, the audience will be curious to understand the information.
Implementing technology
It is likely that there would be a fifty-fifty reaction. Some of the staff would embrace the new technology and the other half would fight the technology. The belief held by the employees regarding the new technology is another issue. Staff might not see or understand the benefits of the technology, which might result in resistance. There could be failure to incorporate the technology if employees do not see its relevance Gillespie & Barr, 2002.
Lack of vision by the staff would hinder the integration. This would result in integration failure. Embracing the new technology would…

Human Computer Interaction Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is the study, planning and design of the way human beings and modern computing devices interact. It is a renaissance discipline, newer and more necessary now that a significant portion of the population use a computer on a regular basis. The term was actually coined in a book that maintains that unlike other tools that have been developed throughout human civilization, and computer has so
Core affect (CA) on the other hand refers to a neurophysiological state which is accessible consciously as very simple and yet nonreflective feeling which forms an integral part of hedonistic as well as arousing values. The hedonistic values are responsible for the feeling of pleasure and displeasure while the arousal feelings are activated by sleep. In the study of affect, it became clear that its core characteristics are many.
As many of the world's industries are faced with increasing competitive pressure and the need to continually improve their performance, employers look to new employees with computer fluency skills as an indicator that the person also has initiative to tackle difficult learning projects and master them. Initiative is very valuable in today's labor market. When combined with computer fluency and literacy, a prospective employee can add in knowledge of
Computer Assisted Language Learning or CALL, relates to the creation, use, and study of software that is specifically designed to allow for the use of a computer in the teaching and learning of a new language (Jarvis, 2013). Most commonly this is done for people learning English, but it can, theoretically, be used for any language learning process. There are a wide range of communication and information technologies that are
Thus "we become accustomed to demanding rather than requesting, and we unlearn the skill of making someone feel good about doing what we need" (Coffee, 2002, p. 302). The experience of continuous demands from the computer runs counter to what is required for interaction with people. The inanimate object is there to satisfy all the cyber desires at the press of a key. A person will not function in
Computer-Mediated Communication Since its advent in the 20th century, Internet technology has become a platform for social, political, and economic interactions and transactions. Currently, cultures and societies are exploring new ways of optimizing Internet technology, from making social interactions easier, more expansive, and more frequent to minute concerns such as transferring money from one person to another via wireless Internet technology. Indeed, from its current uses and applications to human society,
