Technical Writing

Technical and Professional Writing is intended to facilitate communication within an organization as well as between the organization and the public. One important task of a communicator might be to share their work through oral or visual presentations. In that case, the audience and purpose of the original document might change, and you will need to adapt to a new context.

In this module, you will look back on one of the projects you have completed for this class. How might that project change if you were to share it beyond the class with a new audience? Digital media allows us to easily share ideas through text, images, audio, and video—sometimes all at the same time!

My topic will be technical description. I am trying to sell a car for this project. I will be using an infographic. My infographic will be around 5 pages long.

Below is the link that offers an extensive explanation of infographics with many examples

Project 5: Shareable Media

Select a Project
Choose ONE of your previous projects—Job Application, Technical Description, Instructions, or
Proposal—that you would like to transform:

Job Application
• Some job interviews include an opportunity to make a presentation about your

qualifications. Make a digital pitch for yourself as the best candidate for the position.

Technical Description
• Many people turn to the internet first to learn about something that they want to buy or

use. A digital presentation can help them make decisions or solve problems.

Instructions
• Some of the most popular websites are instructional content. Presenting your

instructions in a new medium can help people better understand how to accomplish the
task you describe.

Proposal
• You have identified a real community need—and people should know about it! Amplify

your message by creating

Select a Medium
Choose ONE option to create a digital, shareable version of your project:

Option 1: Narrated Presentation
• Using PowerPoint or other presentation software, create a 3-5 minute slide show. Add

narration to each slide that expands on the content of the slide. Don’t include too much
text on the slides—they should enhance your spoken presentation, not replace it.
Narration for each slide should be less than 30 seconds.

Option 2: Infographic
• An infographic is a visual representation of information that uses images to enhance

interest in a topic, comprehension of complex information, and memorability of a
message. Create an image that combines pictures and text to communicate information
from your chosen project. Several free online tools exist to help you create easy
infographics, as described in this article: 12 Tools to Create an Infographic in 30 Minutes
(Design Skills or Not)

Option 3: Your Idea!
• Do you have a better idea for shareable media? Do you have, or want to learn, the skills

to make a video or podcast? Build a website? Design a social media campaign?
Describe your idea in your “Presentation Plan” discussion assignment, and your
instructor will work with you to define how it will fit the assignment criteria.

A note on citations: The proposal project, and most academic work, required you to use a
formal citation style (APA). For this project, you should still cite sources of information or images
but experiment with informal citations styles.
