Upcoming Meetings

Chapter Dinner Meeting

When:  Tuesday, June 19, 2012, 6:00 pm
Featuring Guest Speaker:  Bonni Graham Gonzalez
Topic:  Producing Quality How-To Videos for Social Media Publication

Providing social media support for software products seems to be a natural outgrowth of online help and other electronic user assistance. However, hardware products can benefit from this approach, too.

This session describes the development process used to create an online presence for a very traditional hardware product: the standalone Scantron test scoring machine. (You know, the one that reads the green #2 pencil forms you used in school?) We’ll explore the entire process, from convincing management that an online presence could work for this product to how we produced the videos and other online information and social media mechanisms that support classroom teachers using this device.

Speaker: Bonni Graham Gonzalez is the CEO and President of Manual Labour, a technical documentation outsource provider located in San Diego. Bonni works extensively with STC and is a popular speaker at international conferences and chapter meetings.
