Subject: Online vs. print documentation: help with a college essay



Hello,

Some of you may remember me asking for help with a college assignment earlier this year. My name is Wes Ahles, and I'm currently taking an Online Documentation course for my graduate degree in tech comm. I'm writing an essay on the differences between online and print docuemntation and was hoping to get some feedback from other technical communicators. Enclosed in a questionnaire about experiences and preferences between the two types of documentation. If some of you could fill this out and send it back to me, it would be a great help. Your names will not be included in the essay and remain completely confidential. If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail me at wesley -dot- ahles -at- mnsu -dot- edu -dot- 

Thanks.

Wes Ahles
