  Rapid E-learning Development:
  Articulate Style

Being able to create courses with minimal programming presents many opportunities. But the reality is that there are also challenges.

Many developers work with limited budgets and resources. How can they build effective elearning courses with these constraints?

Join Tom Kuhlmann and David Anderson in this hands-on workshop as they share some practical tips on getting the most out of the resources you have to build engaging and interactive elearning content.

This workshop is designed for anyone looking to build better and more interactive e-learning courses in Articulate Studio '09.

Learn how to:

• Design an effective "getting started" elearning strategy that helps move you (and your subject matter experts) in the right direction
• Learn to visually align the look and feel with the context of your elearning course
• Apply rapid instructional design models to rework existing content into something more interactive and engaging

Source files and supporting resources will be provided.
