As educators who work with and for other educators instructional technologists must approach documentation as teachers do a lesson plan.  Variables to consider include *audience, *learning needs, *identifying content appropriate to learning styles, *formats and venues, as well as both *assessment and *keeping the content current.

It’s important to remember that documentation is a primary learning bridge begween the learner and the technology, and like any bridge it should be thoughtfully designed, created, amd maintained.
