The MadCap Software Scholar Program Welcomes
The University of North Texas Partners with MadCap Software to Advance Students’ Technical Communication Skills with Leading Technical Authoring Tools
La Jolla, CA and Denton, TX — August 12, 2015 — The University of North Texas (UNT) is thrilled to be partnering with MadCap Software to ensure that students pursuing both an undergraduate and master’s degree in its Technical Communications program have a strong competitive advantage in the fields of technical content development, strategy, communications, and information design.
UNT chose MadCap Flare–the industry-leading product used by content developers and technical writers for authoring and multi-channel publishing. Flare allows authors to publish their content to a variety of channels – such as responsive HTML5 for online and any size handheld or mobile device , PDF for print, ePub, desktop help and more–providing students with the most advanced authoring and publishing solution available today.
Understanding Modern Technical Writing
UNT is one of the nation’s largest public universities and the most comprehensive in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. As a student-focused, research university, which offers a range of high-quality teaching and research programs, UNT is committed to serving its 36,000 and growing student population.
To enhance its students’ learning experience and advance their skills, UNT has incorporated Flare into a graduate course: “Digital Literacies for Professional Communicators”, which hones in on the examination of the digital literacies used in professional contexts. This course digs deep into the intensive theory and practice of authoring tools, content management, single sourcing and coding.
The university as a whole is fervently committed to providing our students with top-notch methods and tools to thrive in the ubiquitous field of technology. I am excited to have MadCap Flare elevate both undergraduate and master’s courses, providing the skills and critical experience with real-world technologies that our students will undoubtedly encounter in their future careers.
Christopher Lam | Assistant Professor of Technical Communication, University of North Texas
