Summary
Technical writing is a style of writing that takes complex information and simplifies it with easy-to-follow instructions/steps and understandable visuals. To create effective and engaging learning experiences, instructional designers (IDs) must simplify, organize, and present content in a clear and meaningful way. Thus, it is beneficial for IDs to embrace and use technical writing skills and tips to enhance their work quality and advance their professional careers. This pair of attractive yet relevant infographics focus on the specific technical writing skills and tips IDs can incorporate into their workflows when creating practical content and deliverables.
These infographics can be shared among IDs in social media communities or private discussion boards hosted by ID programs, conferences. boot camps, and academies. From there, the number of downloads, shares, and likes, as well as viewers' comments, can be monitored and recorded for evaluation purposes.
