Open Technical Communication is a freely available, openly licensed technical communication textbook. Its first edition was developed under a Round 3 Textbook Transformation Grant and updated through several follow-up grants in later rounds of grants offered by Affordable Learning Georgia. It is a remix of the openly licensed Online Technical Writing textbook by David McMurrey, and it has been known under its original title, Sexy Technical Communication as well as its current title: Open Technical Communication.
This second edition of Open Technical Communication includes a significantly improved organizational structure, content and example updates and revisions, and new topics and content. It is currently a draft because the author team has plans for eight new chapters in the near future. In the meantime, please enjoy the updated and improved Open Technical Communication, 2e!
The resources attached to this textbook are collaboratively created by the original group of authors as well as a collection of technical communication faculty and student assistants at Kennesaw State University.
This textbook is available as a print version through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing at-cost with no profits to the authors.
Open Technical Communication was the 2022 winner of the OE Global Award for Excellence in the Open Reuse/Remix/Adaptation category. Check out the award page!
