I received a brochure in the mail yesterday about the TCI
which is affiliated with the University of Manitoba. I'm
wondering if anyone has been involved/taken with these courses
and what you think of them.
1999 courses include:
Visualizing Technical Information (2 days)
DHTML and Javascript (2 days)
Writing with Translation in mind (2 days)
Writing the way users act (1 day)
Indexing (1 day)*
Technical Editing: Triage approach (1 day)
How to write Proposals that win (1 day)
* I did take Lori Lathrop's indexing course a few years ago
and found it useful. If the other courses are as good... well,
some comments from anyone who has taken courses at TCI would be
appreciated.
Thanks!
