  1. Technical Communication Quarterly Mar 1992
    Using desktop publishing in an editing class—the lessons learned and students' assessments ↗
    Marty Tharp; Don Zimmerman
    Abstract

    This article—based on personal observations, a survey, and modified Nominal Group Techniques—reports students' perceptions of learning desktop publishing systems (DTP). Students learned the foundations of DTP in less than 60 hours of hands‐on experience; the incremental introduction of DTP functions and practice sessions before the assignments were more effective than alternative teaching strategies tried; and the use of DTP encouraged non‐artistic students to use artwork to enhance their publications.
