The MadCap Software Scholar Program Welcomes
KLE Technological University Partners with MadCap Software to Bring First-of-Its-Kind Technical Writing Courses to India that Advance State-of-the-Art Authoring and Multi-Channel Publishing
La Jolla, CA and Hubballi, Karnataka, India – November 15, 2017 – Recognized as a leader in engineering education, KLE Technological University (KLE Tech) is partnering with MadCap Software to introduce the first technical writing courses available in India from a technical university. The classes will give students hands-on experience with MadCap Flare, the most advanced technical authoring and publishing solution on the market. By using MadCap Flare to deliver structured, modern technical documentation across print, web, desktop and mobile channels, students will gain the technical communications expertise needed to excel in their careers.
KLE Tech is implementing the program in two phases. In the first stage, MadCap Flare is being incorporated into the “Technical Writing for Engineers” course. An introductory elective class, it is designed to give engineering students a basic familiarity with technical writing in order to write better as individuals and enable smooth handoffs from development to the technical documentation process. In the second stage, MadCap Flare will be used in a series of classes that will enable students to earn a minor degree in Technical Writing. The minor-track classes will support those engineering students who choose to become technical writers, a good but overlooked career option for engineering graduates in India. “This roadmap,” says Dr. Ashok Shettar, Vice Chancellor of KLE Tech, “fits in perfectly with our vision of a close partnership between academia and industry, with a view to guiding our students towards enriching and fulfilling careers.”
Our goal is to help students gain familiarity with an authoring solution that allows for modern single-sourcing and multi-channel publishing for mobile devices, the web, and print, as this will significantly enhance their career prospects. We need a platform that is nimble, responsive, and modern. MadCap Flare fits our needs perfectly, and it will be our workhorse in driving our technical writing courses.
