It’s not business as usual. Technology innovations from mobile platforms to the Internet of Things to Augmented Reality, are challenging almost every aspect of authoring and delivering technical content. Furthermore, user expectations, especially of millennials, are evolving and traditional means of delivering technical content are no longer meeting their needs.
In this webinar, I will discuss the reasons for the widening gap in the ability of traditional technical content to fulfil the needs of users, operators and maintainers of complex products. I will then discuss the role of emerging technologies such as the Internet of Things and Augmented Reality in closing this knowledge gap, and propose a content strategy that focuses on improving the efficacy and utility of technical information.
Attendees will learn about:
- The causes and symptoms of technical knowledge gap in operating and maintain complex equipment, and why traditional content is unable to bridge this gap cost-effectively
- The role of different technologies in communicating and augmenting technical content
- Practical approaches to develop and deploy technology to improve the efficacy and utility of technical information.
