Writing skills training using AI and online tools
Writing is a difficult skill and how you write reveals a lot about your thought processes. Clear writing indicates clear thinking. AI (ChatGPT) and other online tools (online utility) have brought real benefits but they cannot do everything for you. Our training helps staff to develop their critical thinking skills as well as drafting and editing.
Our writing skills training will help you to improve with practice and feedback from a trainer. We are the only training company that gives you pre-course writing tasks that we review with ‘tracked changes’ comments and recommendations.
- The elements of effective professional writing
- How to use AI (ChatGPT) to gather and structure your writing
- Writing style – tone, register and point of view
- Topic sentences that help build effective paragraphs
- Text cohesion – connecting / linking devices: words and ideas
- Style – technical level, jargon and formality
- Online tools to help you revise your writing – measure your Flesch Reading Score
What you take away – assessed written tasks
You send us sample of your writing and we will assess and make tracked changes comments to help you understand the areas you need to work on. You take away a version of your text with notes that will help you to adjust your writing. This is the only way to learn and no other training company provides this level of support.
Format
This training requires a commitment from staff to attend sessions and complete writing, editing and grammar tasks. Our training format includes:
- A review / assessment with tracked changes comments on a text your have written (a report, meeting notes, briefings, correspondence).
- Training sessions to review learning points and practice.
- Assessed writing tasks to edit review or reformat a piece.
- Follow up support (optional).
The use of online tools to help with drafting is not new. We examine how you can best use AI tools (ChatGP) to speed up the structuring of your texts and how other online tools can help you to measure the readability of your writing.
