Effective Writing for Curriculum Development 3.0

by Kevin A. Siegel

Whether you’re writing technical documentation, training curriculum and materials, or eLearning scripts, this book delivers instruction and practical experience. You will find lessons on the writing process and structure; identifying and thinking like your audience; facilitating the conversation between SME’s and the reader; promoting the “WOW” factor; keeping "the voice" active, accurate... and short; avoiding common grammar mistakes; identifying and eliminating deadwood; writing narratives that will "hook" your audience; and writing step-by-step procedures that make the most of the learner's time and effort.
