| Description | An electronic course of the basics of typing at the academic level. It can be used as part of any discipline dealing with text creation (academic and creative writing, stylistics, translation) and ICT (introduction to the use of ICT). It includes information on typing on a computer, types of editors and wprd-processors, encoding and conversion problems etc. Its main focus, however, are the main typesetting and typographis rules, presented in comparison between the English and the Czech standards. The comparative approach increases the awareness of the students to this often neglected area of text creation. Among further topics covered in the course are: rules for proofreading, typical workflows in publishing, summaries of the historical development of selected technologies and procedures that help the student understand the present state and norms. |
