Interactive Intelligent Style Guides

Free

A style guide to follow when writing structured content is not useful if it not automated, it may become an issue rather than a helpful tool. You should automate as many rules as possible to allow writers to be notified when they break a rule. You also need to focus on enabling the information architects to control this automation process, to easily create and tune the rules to match the project needs. You can do all these things with an intelligent style guide that can embed automatic checks, easily created by information architects to enforce the actual style guide prose. I will present an example of such a style guide, based on open standards such as DITA and Schematron, with many interesting examples of automated rules.

Trends in Tech Comm That Support Augmented and Virtual Reality

Free

The rise of wearable technology, the Internet of Things, and improvements in video, animation, and content management technologies are changing the way we work and live, as well as how we perceive reality. This shift is both fascinating and thought-provoking, and we are just beginning to understand the possibilities. For years, we have explored concepts of minimalism, usability, user experience, and accessibility. Finally, technology has caught up to the ideas and we can do many of the things that we could only theorize about even 5 years ago. Join the conversation and explore with us as we look at the trends in technical communication that support and facilitate augmented and virtual reality applications.

From Business Writing to Consulting Copy

Free

In this webinar, will learn how to customize the Notes Master in PowerPoint to create more interesting and useful handouts, as well as your own speaker’s notes that are different from the handouts, all contained within the same PowerPoint file.
