TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
At the recent STC conference in Orlando, there was a lot of interest in
instructional design. In response to that interest, several of us are
working on the formation of an Instructional Design and Learning (IDL)
Special Interest Group (SIG) within STC.
The SIG would focus on topics such as developing distance learning/WBT,
CBT, self-paced training, and materials for leader-led training. It would
deal with both software tools and principles of instructional design.
If you are interested or involved in instructional design and may want to
be a member of this SIG, please fill out the survey. The survey includes
questions about your areas of interest, SIG services that would be of value
to you, and your interest in participating in the SIG as a charter member.
Thanks for your time,
Yvonne DeGraw
