Today’s show teaches IT professionals and technical writers about the various learning styles possessed by the audiences they are trying to reach. Listeners learn why a multimodal approach is best and how successful tech writers focus on accessibility and inclusion. If your content is all text, consider adding audio to reach those with reading disorders, including the 44 million people with dyslexia in America alone.

Hosts Daphne and Fred share their spirited analysis of the article "Technical Writers: Understand Learning Styles" from the Curt Robbins & Associates Technical Writing Agency that was published on October 18, 2024.

An excerpt from the article: "In technical writing, the effectiveness of documentation and communications hinges not just on the content's accuracy and clarity (two of my Eight Pillars of Technical Writing), but also on how it resonates with your specific audience. Learning styles differ widely among individuals, influencing how they absorb, process, and retain information."
