Rob Hanna, Precision Content Authoring Fundamentals: Writing Workshop

Learn the science and fundamentals of using the Precision Content writing methodology for creating effective topic-based content. You don’t need to be a DITA author to gain significant benefit from this introductory course. This one-day session will focus on the fundamentals of topic-based writing by focusing on:

Five Information Types used by the author for classifying and structuring content
Four Cognitive Principles for analyzing and organizing information more effectively
Three Principle Questions to ask before beginning to write content that help to set up and plan your content with your reader in mind
Two Language Arts we use to separate content intended to inform versus engage our readers and when and how to use them, and
One Unifying Content Standard needed to support the writing process and facilitate effective collaboration across your writing team.

No special skills or background is required. Will touch on DITA/XML but it is not fundamental to the presentation.
