Writing For Instruction Differs From Other Finds Of Writing!

People who write for instruction write specifically for how we understand and remember. We certainly don’t want what we write to make it harder to learn but a lot of instructional content does just that! Content that overloads memory. Writing that makes it hard to find or understand the main message.

Writing for instruction means intentionally writing
to make it easier To LEARN,REMEMBER & APPLY.
(Ed. Note This is especially true for Writing for Stakeholders!)

Here’s the (very) good news. Research offers easy-to-apply instructional, writing, usability, and information design principles that show us how to write to make it easier to learn, remember, and apply.

In this session, participants will apply research-driven and actionable tactics.

It will help you:

• Understand memory so we can work with it and not against it
• Make content clearer and easier to understand
• Help people understand how the content fits together
