Abstract
Because of the rapid changes in the computer industry, technical communicators who provide computer-based information require a whole new set of skills-skills that were not even dreamed of a few decades ago. The paper describes a partnership between an industrial corporation and a university to develop an education program to help industrial technical communicators obtain the knowledge of and skills in design of human-computer interaction that they will need to do their jobs in the coming years
