Communication of Technical Information

I liked how this paper listed the three major ways to explain technical information. One can modify their speech according to their audience using these three major methods described by Katherine Rowan. The three major methods described by Rowan include the quasi-scientific, elucidation, and transformative explanations.
The quasi-scientific method can be used much like the scientific method is used; first explaining known facts and building on them through a sort of experimentation of them with the audience. This is good for the "scientific" crowd.
The second method, elucidation, uses more analogies and examples. If enough is known about the audiences' background to give good examples, this method could work a little better than the first quasi-scientific method.
The third and final method, transformative explanations, is useful to lay audience. Transfotmative explanations first credit the audience for their primary interpretation of the subject. It then leads them into questioning their view of the subject, and the speaker then offers the correct view with supporting statements.
All three of these can be useful, but each has it's advantages with different types of audiences.
