TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
The student guide will contain readings and lab notes. Should the instructor's guide just be an outline with bullet points to make sure that the instructor teaches in his/her own words, rather than just reads the same text out loud to the students that they read the night before?
I've never done this kind of instructor-led training (I've only written self-guided training with a sample database to play in), so any advice is *greatly* appreciated.
This is probably the biggest and most important contract of my career, and I want to do a stellar job.
from the way it was presented to me when I took the contract, I felt much more secure in my abilities to handle this. between that initial contact, and my trip to Vermont to meet with the SME, a month got pulled out of the deadline (not his fault), and I don't feel I have the time to do the kind of background research I had intended to do before starting, so with your patience, I'm going to be asking a lot of probably basic questions from my more expert colleagues. They keep throwing curve balls at me, ever so politely... "oh, didn't we tell you that..."
