Session #: TH308TI

Date: Thursday, January 28, 2010

Time: 3:30PM - 5:30PM

Place: Room Miranda 7

Target Audience: Instructional Designers

Learning objectives:

• Develop learning materials using common tools like MS Word and PowerPoint in new ways so that you can use these common tools back on the job
• Use the tools in the session, discovering new functionality, and apply these tools to one of your current development needs
• Translate one current lesson in the class, applying what you learned using your most common learning tools.

Session Description:

If you are developing e-learning and other learning formats, you need e-tools that you can use with a short learning curve. You may want to use technology with all the bells and whistles—but budgets are tight. You want Ferrari tools but have a Volkswagen budget! In this economy, you probably need to make do with your current technology. Now more than ever, developers must be able to squeeze the full functionality out of tools like PowerPoint®, MS Word, Captivate, Articulate, and SnagIt. This session will super-charge the way you use your current tech tools to develop such supporting electronic materials as job aids, notes, and leader guides. This session is a hands-on intensive to help you maximize the technology tools you already have for developing helpful learning support materials for both the e-learning world and print worlds. Your CEO and CFO will love you for it!
