Hi Jill
As far as an advanced technical writing course goes, my wish list would
include some information on:
- Techniques for extracting information from SME's (e.g. 15 minute time
slices for busy SMEs / white board sessions / "mock-up" documentation as
a framework for starting new docs. Dealing with differing SME
personality and subject types (engineering/programming/construction
etc).
- Contracting basics - public liability and professional indemnity
insurance - how and when to use agencies - basics for writing contract
bids
- Managing the documentation workflow - estimation and forward planning
- liaising with management
- Advanced template design and automation / VB
- LAN deployment (e.g. wiki/HTML concepts and tools)
- Emerging industry standards (e.g. XML for S1000D)
- Document management/content management (e.g. legacy document
management strategies)
Hope that helps
Sincerely
Damian Forlani-Brennan
