5 revolutionary technologies technical communicators can’t afford to ignore
DESCRIPTION
Getting the right information to the right people, at the right time, in the right format, and in the right language is the goal of every professional technical communicator. But, the pace of change is fast, and each and every step forward is often accompanied by two steps back. That’s because the speed of technological change is outstripping our ability to keep up. It seems we’re always playing catch up. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. In this slide deck, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, showcases five powerful information technology innovations that, when harnessed by professional technical communicators, can help us future-proof our content and ensure we’re meeting – even exceeding – our goals.TRANSCRIPT
