Get more than two technical communicators in a room and the conversation eventually turns to tools. So, join us at this meeting as we talk about and demonstrate tools in a lively progression.
Captivate at RedPrairie
Lots of e-development software packages promise you can jump right in and build interactive e-learning in a matter of minutes. Using Adobe Captivate, it really is possible to build complete software simulations with a small amount of ramp-up time. This session will show you how RedPrairie used Captivate to quickly build a vast library of e-Courses that give the user a simulated environment to practice their on-the-job tasks. You will also learn how with a bit of technical savvy, you can transform your e-Courses into media-rich information experiences.
This session provides a demonstration of a variety of deliverables created using Captivate, a show and tell of the Captivate interface, and some practical techniques you can use to streamline your e-learning development.
