The need for robust tech comm authoring tools | I’d Rather Be Writing

See on Scoop.it – M-learning, E-Learning, and Technical Communications

Danielle M. Villegas‘s insight:

Tom Johnson provides a good discussion about how different tools meet different needs. I know for myself, I haven’t used some of what Tom needs, but I do understand how WordPress and Drupal are becoming more popular due to their flexibility as open source software, and the need to find software that can integrate with them easily. Even if you don’t use the same software that Tom mentions in the article, it’s a good read to see how different needs produce different wants, and how there is a need to address these issues.
