Glendon College and MadCap Software Join Forces to Provide Students with Leading Technical Writing Tools and Ensure Successful Careers in Technical Communications
La Jolla, CA, USA and Toronto, ON — March 13, 2014 — Glendon College at York University is joining forces with MadCap Software to ensure students pursuing its “Certificate Program in Technical Communication” have cutting-edge tools and clear competitive advantages when entering the workforce. The college is using MadCap Flare—the modern future-proof authoring and multi-channel publishing software that supports print, Web, desktop and mobile—to provide students with the most advanced authoring and publishing solution available today. By using MadCap Flare, students are gaining expertise in state-of-the-art technical writing techniques through hands-on experience with the software used by thousands of companies worldwide.
Glendon College is dedicated to preparing students for careers in the technical communications field through practical knowledge of today's leading writing technologies. The school is incorporating MadCap Flare into its course, "Documentation in Business and Industry," which focuses on advanced user assistance theories, methods, and practices.
We’re excited to incorporate Flare because it's a great example of a topic-based authoring system that is XML-driven and that helps to manage content for authors. With technical communicators increasingly responsible for delivering user assistance across a number of different platforms and in various media, it's important to have tools that are designed for this purpose.
Jamie Roberts | Technical Communication Course Instructor, Glendon College
“We are thrilled to partner with Glendon College to help students advance their technical communication skills and position them for successful careers,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. “This partnership, as a part of our MadCap Scholar Program, builds on our commitment to empower students and give them a competitive edge when they join the workforce.”
