Hello Everyone!!!

I'm a Tech Comm student and I was wondering if you could help me out with some research that I'm doing for a project.

1) How many of you have switched from print documentation to online documentation (pdf, xml, etc)? Do you still use both kinds?

2) Why did you/your company switch?

3) How has this cut down on costs, time, effort, etc?

4) Have clients said anything about the switch? If so, what? Have there been any that have requested print only?

If you could answer these questions and anything else you might feel is relevant, please do so!

Thank you!

In investigating how much "time and effort" my colleague and I exert when teaching online, we realized that we did not have a clear idea of the difference (if indeed there is a difference.) Any thoughts? When we evaluate our work in industry or the academy, do we mean "time" when we say "effort" or do we mean "time" plus added expenditure of energy or something else? Ideas and thoughts welcome!
