Why we write instructions
Just about everything comes with instructions. Instruction manuals and user
manuals are common with letting people know how to do activities such as
trouble shoot software, set up a product, or manufacture a product.
Criteria for writing instructions
Providing graphics makes instructions clear and adds appeal. You must consider
your audience aswell when selecting a graphic.
Collaboration to create user manuals
Instructional videos add clarity with animated graphics. They are good for visual
learners. Instructional videos are also good as a alternative to written
instructions. The audience can also manipulate the video.
