[ATTW-L] Reminder: Tech Comm Example Videos Deadline May 3rd

[Liddle, Daniel]

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to send out a reminder that we're collecting submissions for out Tech Comm Examples series and that the deadline for submission is next Friday, May 3rd by 11:59 EST.

To participate:

  1.  Pick a favorite example of TPC. By "examples," we mean manuals, forms, instructions, memos, diagrams, booklets, videos, infographics, and really any kind of example of technical communication that gets you and (potentially) your students excited about tech comm. We're hoping for examples that are important, strange, fun, joyous, or odd - the kind of examples that get people interested in working with these genres.
  2.  Film yourself talking about your example for 2-5 minutes. Using your phone or webcam, record yourself introducing your example and why you find it valuable/inspiring/useful as an example of technical communication. For technical advice, check out this document<https://docs.google.com/document/d/17oa23NjRCqJj7VgQ5qruAss_S3iq_TytBpFPjwQuPqs/edit?usp=sharing> with some guidelines and FAQs.
  3.  Send us the video: Using our Google form<https://forms.gle/HFRMcjSKxmM2iKkQ9>, you can upload your video as well as any links/documents for the example that we can add as b-roll to the video.
  4.  We will publish these examples together as a short series late in the summer of 2024. You can see examples of what we're going for in the examples from last fall:
