Technical & Professional Communication: Open Access Educational Resources
Compiled by Dr. Lauren E. Cagle, Department of Writing, Rhetoric, & Digital Studies, University of Kentucky
The field of Technical and Professional Communication has a number of fantastic online open access educational resources. This book collects links to them in one place so you can easily find and compare resources for use in your own teaching. The links here allow you to view entire open access books and resource collections, and we’ve also provided links for common teaching topics (e.g., accessibility, audience, genre, etc.), so you can quickly find a resource to support specific lessons.
If you’d like to suggest additions or corrections, please email Cagle at lauren.cagle@uky.edu. I’m especially looking for OER to fill in the areas below, where I don’t have any resources for a particular topic.
- Applicant Tracking Systems
- Gray Literature
- MS Word Styles
- Reference Management Software
