• Target Audience. Understanding who the audience
  is and how to meet their needs is critical for a
  technical writer. For example, a writer would
  develop a technical science document much
  differently for a team of scientists than they
  would for audience without a background in
  science. Explain why it is important to identify
  the target audience for a document. What role
  does the audience's demographics play in
  analyzing the target audience?

  describe an appropriate audience, the purpose,
  and at least two mediums for delivery of the
  message

  the public of upcoming road construction
  projects.

  writing project. Describe the advantages and
  disadvantages to writing collaboratively. How
  would you organize the collaborative writing
  project? What would you do to ensure consistency

  (Ash)

• Web Design and Readability. Organizing and
  designing web pages should start with a clear
  purpose and the intended audience. Online readers
  expect speed and consistency and will quickly
  leave a site if it is difficult to navigate.
  Online readers prefer not to scroll horizontal
  and expect to easily find information from the
  site's homepage. Technical writers for the web
  need to write clear and concise content, as well
  as be aware of how visually appealing the
  websites are to the audience.

• Online Technical Documents. Online periodicals
  are quickly replacing the traditional paper
  magazines. Most professional organizations have
  free online periodicals that users can subscribe
  to and read. These publications provide a source
  of information for you to stay up to date with
  current trends in your field of study or career.
  Locate a professional online periodical or
  professional organization's website that relates
  to your career or future career. For example,
  students majoring in environmental studies can
  search for Environmental Science and Technology.
  Students majoring in education can search for the
  Journal of Teacher Education or ASCD. Business
  majors can search for the American Management
  Association or Talent Management. You can search
  for any career and find a professional journal.
