BWC423 Writing Technical Explanations for Non-technical Readers
 
The Writing Technical Explanations for Non-technical Readers course teaches the skills required to write technical explanations for readers who are not specialists in the subject and don't know the jargon.

CONTENT

Lesson 1:       Communicate technical subjects clearly to non-technical readers.

Lesson 2:     Provide information that suits the reader's knowledge of the subject, educational background, technical expertise, need for concrete explanations, and need for depth of knowledge.

Lesson 3:     Include everything every intended reader needs to achieve your objectives.

Lesson 4:     Give readers the information they need at the specific points where they need it for maximum understanding.

Lesson 5:     When readers have differing needs or abilities, write different versions of the document or sections within the document to match the readers' needs and abilities.

Lesson 6:     Write the information in clearly defined information blocks that the reader can read, understand, and remember, one block at a time.

Lesson 7:     For each information block, write an explicit opening statement the reader can use to begin putting the block's details into a framework.

Lesson 8:     Present information in a clear visual blueprint so readers can see the organization as they read.

Lesson 9:     Use tables to organize the information so readers can place the details into a clear framework.

Lesson 10:     Use key terms consistently.

Lesson 11:     Fully explain the concept behind every new key term as the reader encounters it.

Lesson 12:     Write clear, focused, organized paragraphs that help readers identify, understand, and remember concepts.

Lesson 13:     Write sentences that are complete, simple, clear, and straightforward.

Lesson 14:     Use only simple punctuation.

Lesson 15:     Use words every intended reader will understand.
