Podcast - Interview with Traci Kelly from UW 11/02/2006
My interview with Traci Kelly from the University of Wisconsin Technical Communication certificate program.
Listen in by clicking the link above. No iPod required. Traci is helping the studens organize their own technical communication organization, which will eventually be affiliated with STC, and is also looking for help. In the spring semester, she is teaching a class titled "User Manuals and Software Documentation." She has four things in mind:
- Would any members be willing to contribute hardcopy examples of user
manuals/software docs that I could use as examples in class?
2. Are there any small projects that members might be willing to share and
let a team of students work on as a "real" case?
3. Could members donate any time to speak to my students about the processes
that they follow to develop docs for manuals or software support?
4. Would any member be willing to speak to the TCOM folks about
globalization, global Englishes, patent writing, or grant writing?
