Hi,

I've been a tech writer for many years, doing mostly manuals. My latest
project involves instructional design. Specifically, I'll be designing
presentations meant to train a live audience how to use specific software.
I know there are many overlaps with traditional tech writing, but I would
guess that there are also considerations for instructional design that
depart from standard tech writing.

Do any of you have advice on what to do/ what not to do? Any favorite
resources you could point me to?

Thanks!

Jen
