Re: Information on Tech Writing Positions in Educational Technology Field

[Karen Loutsch <karenl -at- AUTOSIM -dot- COM>]

Laura,
I recently completed two master's degrees, one in Instructional Technology
and one in English Technical & Professional Writing.  I have found the job
market exceptionally open to the combination.  If you have questions,
please e-mail me at karenl -at- autosim -dot- com -dot- 

Also, are you familiar with the Association for Educational Communications
and Technology (AECT)?  You may request information on this organization by
calling (202) 347-7834.  I don't know the address of the AECT discussion
group, but I will try to get it for you.

>I am a student at SFSU majoring in Technical Writing with a focus in
