Sem2

This course builds on the unit completed in the first semester and explores the topics covered there in more detail. We will talk further about planning and executing larger documents, interviewing subject-matter experts, writing for global audiences, writing for different media, and text usability. We will also continue covering some typical language problem cases for non-English speaking writers. We will explore issues of typography and its effect on readability, page design and using visual aids in technical documentation. Once again, there will be an emphasis placed on producing sample texts (using Adobe FrameMaker), in this case designing instructions and multi-channel publishing.
