Here's what I think:

* Intro to Tech Writing
* Document Design (how to organize information for your readers)
* Grammar & Editing
* Tool Review: (FrameMaker, screen shot programs, Visio/Illustrator,
Source Control....)
* Special Topics 1 (focus on one of...Hardware, Dev, End User)
* Special Topics 2 (focus on something that goes with special topic 1,
like End User might also want Online Help. Or if someone took a
review of writing Dev guides, they might want something more focused
like writing for DBAs, requiring an Oracle/SQL course from the
computer dept....)
