Subject:Online Documentation Course Material From:Beverly Shafirka <shafirka -at- PANGEA -dot- CA> Date:Sat, 10 Feb 1996 21:59:27 -0800
I am developing a course for Online Documentation for our local
community college. I am interested in learning how other courses
are designed. In particular, how other classes approach the hands-on
training for this type of course?
This course is meant to be a general view of online documentation not a
software training program. I don't want to waste any more class time
than
necessary training on the tool.
I have thought of using HTML or the Win-Help Generator. Both require
some
training. Both can be done with some direction, but not a lot of
knowledge
about the product.
