The pre-class components introduce topics; the in-class components help
students integrate and practice those topics. That said, the pre-class work,
by itself, provides significant educational value.
Google provides all the materials needed to run the in-class sessions at your
own organization. If you'd like to facilitate the in-class sessions for
your organization, please see Facilitating Technical Writing
Courses.
We've aimed Technical Writing One and Technical Writing Two at
the following audiences:
software engineers
software engineering or computer science students
Additionally, many people in engineering-adjacent roles (such as product
managers) have also benefited from these courses.
We've aimed Tech Writing for Accessibility at anyone who writes technical
documents or creates technical websites, including:
