Are you planning to attend this Thursday’s chapter meeting? Please answer this one-question survey and let us know. Those who take the survey will see a fun invitation after they submit the survey.

Mark Hanigan and Cynthia Skawinski are presenting on unified modeling language. They will explain how technical communicators can draw upon visual process flows, called UML artifacts (UML stands for unified modeling language) to create their documentation. These process flows, one of which is an activity diagram, visually represent the use cases for software. A use case model depicts all of the use cases for a project in terms of their relationships to each other. An activity diagram is a component of a use case. Based on unified modeling language, these artifacts/diagrams can also be deliverables that technical communicators create to expand their role beyond mere writers.Note: We moved the date to July 12 (the second Thursday of the month) because the first Thursday coincided with the Fourth of July holiday weekend.

Date: Thursday, July 12
Time: 6:30 to 9:00 p.m.
Location: Holiday Inn Express, Tampa
Cost: $10
