In this session
attendees will
learn
To identify textual content that
could be replaced with
rich/interactive media, and see
examples of effective replacement
Identifying
candidates for
rich media
I’ve been teaching Tech Comm Video
courses for about 2 years, and this will
be the highlights and best practices of
what I’ve developed
Applying single-
sourcing to
varied outputs
From print and PDF to electronic output
which scales from 2500px to 640px, and
everything in between
Need to
deliver to
mobile?
There’s plenty you can do, and
lots you should know!
It will not be
boring!
I’ve been teaching and presenting
for Adobe, STC, LavaCon, and
other conferences for years.
