Simplified Technical English (STE) can make you a better communicator, and the essence of instructional design is communicating information to a learner. Whether the training is knowledge transfer or behavior-based, STE will make your content more accessible to all learners by removing ambiguity, improving comprehension, and simplifying translations.Beginning as a standard for writing maintenance manuals in the aerospace industry, STE has crossed into other industries as a way to clearly and concisely communicate with others, especially when working at a global-level.During this session attendees will learn STE standards and how to apply them to improve their communication and training with fun examples from a galaxy far, far away. Attendees will be provided with a workbook to practice using STE and to use as a quick reference. They will also be provided with instructions on how to request a free copy of the ASD-STE100 manual.
