Subject:Videos or DVDs to train technical writers? From:"Dennis v." <dvanlangen -at- cox -dot- net> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 16 Jun 2005 22:32:55 -0400
I am preparing a 1/2 day training package that will eventually be presented
to technical writers in the classroom.
One section of this training will deal with unique challenges of technical
writing (including those unique to our organization). These would include
the "grind" and frustration of writing (and re-writing), taking ambiguous
ideas from SMEs and making sense out of them in written words, placing self
in the shoes of the trainee audience, and so on.
I was wondering if you are aware of any brief videos or DVDs that address
the challenges of professional writing? I am looking for something that is
interesting and stimulating and will prompt discussion, empathy, and allow
trainees to relate to the challenges by bringing in their own, after it is
shown.
