Abstract:

Technical communicators and instructional designers use similar techniques in producing written documents. This paper discusses how the Perot Systems Instructional Design team creates its documentation in a similar manner as technical communicators. We start by discussing the use of the ADDIE model for developing documentation; 2) explaining how we implement our Word and PowerPoint style guides with a brief mention about our client-driven Training Engagement Methodology; and 3) ensuring copyrights are respected. The subject matter experts that we support as technical communicators and instructional designers sometimes view us as the documentation police because we constantly question the data and quotations.
