The business challenge:
New software rolls out at the end of the month, and you are tasked with ensuring all employees are competent with it.

The caveat: You also must be prepared to deal with frequent, but irregular changes to the software, because it is still in development. Moreover, the software has little connection to the old software.

Now what do you do?

In this webinar, Jason Kramer will work through two of our solutions to this challenge.

Jason will show you Photoshop and Storyline tricks that we leveraged and, the way we employed foundational design principles that balanced the plumb line to keep the project on track.

Leave the webinar with practical know-how that you will be able to apply to any project, whether it is specific to software training or other eLearning.

You will be able to

• Utilize key features of Storyline to develop software training in a way that is both rapid and engaging
• Employ foundational design principles to support eLearning development
• Use basic Photoshop and SnagIt actions to support your work that do not rely on years of graphical design experience
• Use the new Articulate Review service to facilitate a quick and efficient review process

Tools Covered:

• Ps
• Snagit
• Storyline
• Articulate Review

Presenter: Jason Kramer (LinkedIn profile)  Illumina Creative Team, Jason’s specialty is eLearning where he is continuously pushing the design possibilities of the medium. In past years, he gained critical experience in the corporate training world as a Senior Instructional Designer with Citizens Bank and was part of the award-winning instructional design team at NECB where he flourished under Dr. Jean Marrapodi’s tutelage.

Sometimes we allow ourselves to drown in work… Mary Thorn hears it all the time: testers complaining at retrospectives to their teams that they do not have enough time to test everything.

Mary often sees testers work overtime the last week of a sprint to ensure the definition of done is accomplished.

1. Why do they do this?
2. Why do we, as testers, enable the bad behaviors of “Scrummerfall” or a lack of whole-team ownership of quality?

Mary aims to arm testers with techniques that allow them to test smarter, not harder, and enable the testers and the team to have better conversations that make it clear what they are testing in the sprint.

Most importantly, she wants you to come out of her session being able to answer the question, “What are you not going to test this sprint?”

Take home some approaches that allow you to swim, not sink, by focusing your own and your team’s efforts.

In this interactive presentation, testing expert Robin Goldsmith reveals seldom-recognized important insights about test cases, including:

• Five different ways people view the same test
• Four keys to effective test cases
• Issues with embedding keystroke-level procedural detail
