This discipline blends together pedagogical principles of rhetoric, technology, software, and learning theory to improve and deliver communication in a variety of settings ranging from technical writing to usability and digital media design.

According to Carolyn Miller in ''What's Practical about Technical Writing?'' she refers to professional communication as not simply workplace activity and to writing that concerns "human conduct in those activities that maintain the life of a community."
