In this course, we explore how organizations nowadays design, implement and update their user documentation. At home and at work, many people want or need to use new and complex technologies. User documentation is needed to support them using these technologies effectively and efficiently. Contemporary user documentation systems allow organizations to design and implement all user documentation in an efficient and flexible way. This facilitates the process of tailoring documentation to the target group’s specific needs. Students in this course have to advise an organization about a new user documentation system. This includes advice on the content and structure of documentation, including some examples they have designed themselves, and advice on how to manage all user documentation efficiently.
If their examination board and programme board allows it. Students from the following UT master programmes can follow this course: BA, BIT, CS, EST, EEM, HS and PSY.
