Week two: Foundations of Technical Writing

What is Technical Writing?

It is a specialized form of communication used by many of today's industrial and scientific organizations to clearly and accurately convey complex information to a user.

Most technical writing relies on simplified grammar, supported by easy-to-understand visual communication to clearly and accurately explain complex information.

Technical writing is designed to:

inform by anticipating and answering audience questions;

instruct the audience to perform a task or follow a procedure, and persuade the audience via explanations, analysis, and solutions.

Remember: Technical writing is an audience-centered means of communication that provides a reader with clear and easy access to information.
