Technical Communication Coaching: A Strategy for Instilling Reader Usability Assurance in Online Course Material Development

Robbin Z. Warner ; Beth L. Hewett

Abstract

Online course material development requires much writing, often catching faculty by surprise because of either the sheer volume or the specialized role and function of writing in an online only and multimodal environment. technical and professional communication (TPC) faculty are uniquely suited to coach faculty in producing readable writing for online courses. This article explores the professional development strategies and coaching skills necessary for TPC instructors and/or practitioners to serve in this role in online course development training.
