Google Has a FREE 2 Part Technical Writing Course for Those Who Want Some Guidance on Writing Documentation
https://developers.google.comGoogle’s has a FREE interactive technical writing course materials.
The classes have the following structure:
- Students complete self-study work before attending the live class. The self-study work is valuable on its own, even for students who will never attend the live class.
- A facilitator guides students through a live class. The live class features practical exercises, class discussion, and extensive peer-to-peer feedback. Note that Google does not lead these live courses but provides extensive material to help facilitators prepare to lead them.
The first course, Technical Writing One, covers the basics of technical writing. Students learn to start thinking about their audience before even putting pen to paper. Technical Writing Two builds on the techniques from the first course and is for those who already know verbs from adverbs.
If you would like to teach the courses at your own organization, see the facilitator guides. To review the pre-work and read through the training materials, see the course overviews.
