(Integrating Training into Documentation)

The TC as Trainer
Many technical communicators write training documents of one kind or another, yet have little or no idea of the principles or techniques involved. This short workshop introduces the basics for writing good training materials with tips on how to integrate these methods into all your relevant documentation. You will also have the opportunity to apply these techniques in activities included in the workshop.
