<p class="MsoNormal">I’ll second Jonathan’s recommendation of <a href="http://open-tc.com/">
open-tc.com</a>, which I’m using this semester as a result of attending a session where he presented at CTSPC. I also used
<a href="https://openoregon.pressbooks.pub/technicalwriting/">Technical Writing</a>, an OER textbook, in an earlier tech comm intro course. While I needed to supplement both with additional resources, especially genre-specific instruction and examples, these
texts did a fine job of providing the overview to tech comm I was looking for.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi all, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I was wondering if anybody could share what types of open source resources they use for a 200-level tech comm course. I'm trying to move away from expensive textbooks. What do folks use? I know there is a ton of stuff on medium, etc. by
practitioners but was wondering if there is anything else out there I'm missing. I would be very grateful if anybody would send me their sans textbook syllabus. <o:p></o:p></p>
