On-Line Documentation: Its Place in a Two-Year College's Technical Writing Curriculum.
McCabe, Kathleen
Journal of Business and Technical Communication, v11 n1 p74-82 Jan 1997
Considers online documentation's place in a two-year college's technical communication program. States that such a course can be successful if instructors emphasize design principles rather than particular software; build on rhetorical skills students already possess while developing authoring skills for the computer; and acknowledge the need for their own professional development.
