Upcoming Webinar on 12 January: Delivering Multi-Modal Training

Can adopting DITA and a CMS allow you to create dynamic, multi-modal training? Find out how one company is delivering classroom-based courseware manuals and high-fidelity, SCORM-compliant online training built from a single source of content.

STC and Patrick Quinlan present Delivering Multi-Modal Training, taking place Wednesday, 12 January from 1:00-2:00 PM EST (GMT-5). In this webinar, Quinlan demonstrates the products of Citrix Education's dual-modality output. He also reviews three recent DITA-based development projects:

  • Replacing DTP with DITA. In this project, the team leveraged DITA, but followed DTP-style processes, design, and practices. A CMS was not available.
  • Write for online, use offline. In this project, the team leveraged DITA to create content fit for online delivery that was equally effective offline. A CMS was not available.
  • Leverage someone else's DITA. In this project, the team leveraged DITA from other teams to speed development of multi-modal training. A CMS was used.

Quinlan provides a project overview, highlights changes in the development environment, reviews the effort required to produce the desired output, and discusses project timelines and resources. He closes by looking forward at leveraging existing tools and infrastructure to deliver content in new ways, including ePub and mobile learning.
