Q. I am looking for online or distance learning technical writer courses. I'm not interested in getting a degree--just three or four accredited courses that cover the basics of tech writing. I don't have time to attend regular classes, so I'm looking for courses that are online/distance learning. I'm already an English major and editor/writer. So I'm NOT looking for a basic writing course. I'm looking for courses specifically addressing technical writing as a career. My goal is to supplement my extensive education and work background with a bit of tech writing education. Can anyone recommend any? I would like to take courses with a well-known or respected university, if

A. -You could check this one out.. http://explore.berkeley.edu/UCExt/ Search for Technical Communication. This is an Advanced Technical Writing course (Technical Communication II - X466) with the University of California, Berkeley (Internet Program). -When www.lifelonglearning.com updates its course lists, it will be a better resource for finding online and distance-learning opportunities, but for now you can go to http://www.ecollege.com/student/Search_search_course.html. Select “All Disciplines,” “All Institutions,” and “All Locations” for the appropriate drop-down menus. Type in a keyword for the courses that you seek and click “Go.” When I used “technical writing” for a keyword, I got a list including technical writing courses from the University of Wyoming, the University of Pennsylvania, and the University of Dallas. It appears as though eCollege only lists courses offered by its partners. I know that Utah State University,* Texas Tech University,** and Rensselear Polytechnic Institute*** all offer complete online degree programs in technical writing/communications. It is probably possible just to take the courses you want from any of these schools without applying for admission to a degree program.
