This Week:
You’ve got the words down pat, and you're a pro at writing and editing. But when it comes to design, well, that’s a different story. Fear not! UX/UI Basics for Technical Communicators will illustrate the basics of how to use user interface (UI) design to improve the user experience (UX). Join Jessica Kreger, Senior Manager of Client Training and Education at TradeStation, on 12 July from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT (GMT-4).
Next Week:
We've got a FREE STC Chapter/SIG Member-Only Webinar coming up next week: Developing Quality and Consistency Guidelines for Financial Services Content. Presented by Ann Rockley of The Rockley Group, inc., this free webinar will help technical communicators navigate the complex compliance and regulatory requirements of the financial services industry, and balance those requirements with the technical communicator's need to create clear, concise content. Join Ann on 19 July from 2:00-3:00 PM EDT (GMT-4).
Next Month:
In an increasingly international business context, content must be tailored to diverse intercultural audiences. What skills to technical communicators need to succeed in this globalized world?
