You learn briefly about writing tools such as FrameMaker and MS Word. The first part of the course concentrates on paper-based communication, while the latter part introduces you to overhead presentations, online help, and the World Wide Web. Lectures on general principles are held at the beginning of class. You work on exercise sets, then apply the skills taught in the session to the exercise specified at the end of each module. Exercises are selected to simulate real-world career expectations and help participants develop the ability to independently select the best tool for a particular task.
