    Do you have a knack for explaining complex subjects in a way that makes them easy to understand? If so, you should consider entering the well-paying field of technical writing. Technical Writing Fundamentals will teach you the skills you need to succeed as a technical writer. You will learn how to translate complex information into easily understood language and how to become a wizard at marrying the art of publishing with the science of technology. You’ll learn the secrets of successful technical writers, including technical writing conventions, interviewing skills, desktop publishing and formatting techniques, key tips for developing graphics and templates, documentation management, and how to publish documents both on paper and electronically. You’ll also learn how to get your first job as a technical writer, plus “tricks of the trade” that enable you to create high-quality documentation with less work.

     

    Learning Objectives:

    • Learn about the history of technical writing, the kinds of documents you will write, and how to think like a technical writer.
    • Learn how to develop a basic project plan, analyze your reading audience, and organize your files.
    • Learn about different graphics file formats, how to create screen shots, and how to use Paint.
    • Learn how to use Microsoft Word features such as paragraph styles, heading styles and how to generate a table of contents.
    • Learn about the printing industry, how to talk with a printer, and future trends in printing.

    “This course was very helpful to me. I have been using the tools and have made much better documents. I particularly liked how the instructor organized the content of each lesson. It seemed like each new lesson was built upon the information taught in the preceding lessons. Thank you!”
    – G. Hernandez, Kennesaw, GA
