#TechComm

This qualifies as the most pathetic linkedin thread about #techcomm I think I've ever engaged in.

#techcomm and #womenintc Is anyone interested in reviewing an article on visual rhetoric and technical communication? If so, please message me. @SDoanut, @SScottGraham_ , @lecagle , @LizaPotts and if you know anyone, let me know.

Seems simple enough #techcomm #tecm1700 #instructions #ikeaCertified

I'm thinking of writing a post about why agile doesn't work for technical writers. Anyone strongly agree or disagree with this? #techcomm

Become one of my colleagues as a Sr UX Writer! Position in Mountain View. #uxwriting #techcomm

So much of being a tech writer is knowing how to pull information from engineers through skillful questions. What works well for me: Write a draft and intersperse it with various questions in the margins so that there's more context for the engineer. #techcomm

I had the goal of getting my #OER textbook Business Writing For Everyone into teachable shape by my birthday, and today I finished it. It'll be launched in in Summer after I get student feedback from next semester & work with some collaborators. #TechComm

Does anyone know the origin of the term "docs as code" or what popularized it? I feel like it's been around for 4-5 years, but I don't have a great sense for where it originally came from, or if it just came from ether since it is mostly descriptive? #writethedocs #techcomm

We are pleased (and excited) to announce that @uwtacoma is hiring a Director of Writing and Professor (Open-rank) of Writing Studies: #teamrhetoric #rhetcomp #techcomm

Fun question for my #techcomm peeps: How do you define technical writing and/or technical communication? Or what scholar/ship do you draw upon to frame your understanding? (Maybe if I get a bunch of answers, I'll design buttons again...)

Do any #rhetcomp or #techcomm folx have advice (or suggestions!) for how to use Audacity in the classroom?

Tech docs and Agile: Alternatives to integrating into engineering scrums (Part 2) #techcomm #agile #scrum

Excited to announce a #CFP for a special issue of Communication Design Quarterly w/@drheatherturner UX Pedagogy: Stories and Practices from the TPC Classroom for Communication Design Quarterly @sigdoc #uxpedagogy #techcomm #ux #pedagogy

Here's one indicator that docs are poor: the writer doesn't attempt to organize the content in any coherent narrative but rather has an endless and randomly ordered list of FAQs. #techcomm

Hellooo #techcomm folks!! I am teaching technical/scientific writing for the first time ever this semester and I’m doing it online! What are some good activities my students can do virtually?? I have a syllabus I need to follow but need activity and lecture ideas!!

I said I'd share the finished assignment package for my advanced #TechComm #BusinessComm course for non-majors, so here it is, in case it's useful to anyone. All assignments are CC-BY-NC-SA.

there's nothing more demotivating than realizing that you just sacrificed a weekend working on docs for a deadline that was later pushed out a couple of weeks. #techcomm
