Session: The Power of Mentoring

Universal Evolution is natural phenomenon, in which every one of us is
contributing, by playing different roles of absorber & contributor
during our life spans.

To absorb, one has to be a keen learner with open mind, and to
contribute through joint or individual actions, one has to be
cautious, as every action has a reaction, which may have either
positive or negative impact in universal evolution.
Mentee and Mentor are good examples of absorber and the
- Show quoted text -
contributor. In the present technological evolution era, when no one
has time to give a pause, to look behind, there is a need to revamp
the relationship between the two.

Let us all join together in this revamping process, to make this
valuable relationship much strong, and contribute positively in the
universal evolution.

traditional help authoring environment. The session includes a real
world case study of a Tech Pubs team movement from the traditional
Frame/Webworks environment to Confluence wiki, a discussion on
differences, benefits and drawbacks of using a wiki based authoring
system as compared to traditional authoring environment, a live demo

wiki provides to technical communicators.
