Technical writing, or technical communication, is about conveying information in a way that is appropriate to a particular audience. It involves analysing a task or concept in order to break it down and explain it in terms that are understandable. Information that is clearly written and well-structured can communicate complex concepts and procedures to non-technical readers.
The use of screen-capture software such as Captivate can also aid the process of conveying specialist information online.
