Educational Software User Manual Creation

I’m looking for an experienced technical writer who can turn our educational software application into a clear, engaging guide that students can follow without frustration. Scope of work • Study the current build of the application, note its key features, and map the typical student workflow. • Draft a logically ordered manual that covers installation, first-time setup, core functions, troubleshooting tips, and FAQs. • Use plain language, concise step-by-step instructions, and call-out boxes for important notes or warnings. • Supply illustrative screenshots or annotated diagrams where they add clarity. • Deliver the final document in both editable Word format and press-ready PDF. What I’ll provide • Full access to the latest software build and test credentials. • Existing feature list, release notes, and any internal SOPs we’ve written so far. • A direct point of contact for quick technical questions. Success criteria • Content reads naturally to high-school and college-level students. • All major tasks can be completed by a first-time user without external help. • Layout and visuals stay consistent with our current brand style. If you have a background in writing for software and can translate tech jargon into student-friendly guidance, I’d love to see samples of similar manuals you’ve created and discuss timelines.
