| Accelerated Rapid eLearning Development - Vendor |
   |
'Rapid eLearning' is usually associated with PowerPoint conversions. While using PowerPoint allows you to build content quickly, you may still run into these problems:
- Lengthy development cycles because each PowerPoint slide may be designed differently
- Inconsistent design across courses
- Ineffective design on pages designed by people who don't understand instructional content
- Design or functionality errors because each page is built individually
"Accelerated rapid e-learning" will help you:
- Develop courses faster
- Develop with fewer errors
- Develop with a more consistent and effective design across all of your courses
In this session you'll learn to use Rapid Intake tools to combine PowerPoint content with the accelerated rapid e-learning development model. |

| Repackaging Webinars for Better Effectiveness Using Camtasia - 1 Hr Presentation |
|
In the past, the ADP National Account Services division used only Microsoft’s Live Meeting Web conferencing service to train their sales associates on new software feature functionalities. This required audience members to log into the Live Meeting link to view the presentation, and dial into a standard conference call number to hear the presentation. Live Meeting would then record the meeting in a Windows Media Video format for later playback. While this was a fast and efficient means for creating software training, it had drawbacks, including lack of resolution, lack of focus, lack of user control, and lack of editing. Participants in the case-study session will learn how, to overcome these drawbacks, ADP now uses Camtasia (a screen recording tool) to record and edit the Live Meeting presentations. This allows them to create professionally edited recordings during online and live classroom events. You’ll learn how the use of Camtasia can help you repurpose and improve your “live” Webinars. In this session, you will learn: How to record live Webinars and classroom training events using Camtasia How to edit Webinars to enhance their messaging How to improve the graphical user interface of a presentation How to repackage Webinars for other media |
