Interactivity

From indexes to PowerPoint presentations, from CBT demos to online help, a technical communicator should be aware of the audience served and choose the correct level of interactivity. The object of interactivity should be to enhance the transfer of knowledge rather than simply entertain.

Interactivity created using Flash, Web3D, Truespace, DemoShield, Premiere, and Director.

Indexes
Experienced creating indexes for technical manuals and online documentation. Manuals ranged from 60 to 500 pages. Online help projects ranged up to 700 topics. Began with functionality in Word, Ventura, or RoboHelp and then modified the results manually.

Also, created indexes for book on scanning/OCR and a cookbook. Have some acquaintance with professional indexing software.
