Comment on Technical Writing vs Instructional Designing – Is it really a tug of war? by Wbouchard

Wbouchard — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 16:56:04 +0000

As both an Instructional Designer, eLearning Designer and Technical writer I would have to say the main fundamental difference between the two is that Instructional Designers spend all their time writing and developing for the adult learner who learns differently than a college student. Whereas the Technical Writer spends most of their time trying to make a complex set of instructions readable to the average user – not necessarily an adult learner.
Other than that they are to me the same.

This is a question for help. I have recorded a camrec file of 59 minutes. And now it appears to be very hard to eddit this file with Camtasia, so I think the camrec file is too long.

Is it possible to cut a camrec file in 2 or 3 pieces?

Hope you can help me
Thanks in advance!
