Section Information for Spring 2027

This class will explore the discipline of technical communication, a subset of professional communication that focuses on useful, persuasive ways to transmit knowledge in the technology sector. In this course students will develop their critical analysis and communication skills through rhetorical and design analyses, presentations, prototyping, usability testing, and a report. The course will culminate with a final project developing e-learning training materials using a variety of methods and delivery media. You will learn strategies for teaching users procedures, concepts, facts, processes, and principles. You will produce instructional materials using disciplinary specific methods, including asynchronous, computer-based self-study training sessions, usability assessments, and project management. I look forward to developing materials with you!
