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.
As a student, I have almost completed all of my general class requirements
and most of my specific technical writing classes. The next step in my
program is to focus on an area of specialization. My advisor has
recommended that I focus on human factors (with a touch of computer
science) in the technical communication world. I guess I would just really
like to hear what human factors is all about and how it relates to the
world of technical communication. Feel free to send repsonses directly to
me or post them if this topic seems to take off. I will summarize any
responses I get for the list. Thanks in advance:)
