Publishers have a unique opportunity to transform their business by delivering content across an array of media channels. To support these — print, Web, digital editions, e-books and other digital outlets — publishers can utilize innovative platforms to extend their current technology investment. With the introduction of DPCI’s connector module for K4, there is now a solution for integrating the K4 Publishing System, the most widely used platform for InDesign/InCopy workflows in North America, with Drupal’s open-source Web CMS, one of the most popular Web content management systems in the world.

Led by DPCI and MEI, this webinar will show how content can be edited and enriched with keywords within the K4 environment, then directly exported to the Drupal platform. Attendees will learn how to leverage the industry’s top technology to organize all content under one dynamic system, saving time and money while incorporating new media.

 
Blogs, YouTube, SlideShare, Flickr, (and others) are all parts of the interactive web.
They all also use RSS or have features to easily embed into web pages or other blogs. Interactive content is content that is changed/updated/added/deleted at the customer site without interfering with the customer or your production process. Based on our experience this webinar will illustrate how to successfully design & implement interactive content. In fact, you will witness how we implement interactive content for our ePublisher users and if we can do it so can you.

- 4 Keys To Hear God's Voice
- Faith to believe that YOU can hear God
- Desire to use Journaling to help your hear God, and plan and organize your life
- Passion to journal consistently and to use your journal to hear God for every area of life

It's no accident that YOU are here. Everything happens for a reason! Everything! There is no such thing as a coincidence. God is connecting you to us to BLESS YOU - to really bless you to help you break through in many areas of your life through journaling. The gates of heaven are open. The questions is, "Are you ready to enter?"

Pastor Rick Warren, author of The Purpose Driven Life, says the purpose of the Bible is to change lives and the purpose of preaching is to change lives. The purpose of journaling is to change your life. It's that simple.

Unless you're convinced that journaling is going to make a big difference in your life, you're likely to give up before it's firmly established as a habit. But once you understand the WHY , the "HOW" will work itself out.

Here are some of the questions Dr Randy Peck will answer on the call
- Why journal? What are some of the benefits of journaling?
- How do you journal? What are the steps?
- How did you get started with journaling and how has it evolved?
- I know you journal online rather than using a notebook, why?
- What has come out of your journaling? What is some of the fruit?
- How do you journal to hear God's voice daily?
- UNCOMMON Journaling For Breakthroughs

And of course, much more.

Identifying your audience and creating content to meet their needs.

In a perfect world, you have the time to create all the content for all possible users of your products.

No one has product schedules that allow for that; everyone has to make decisions about what content is needed and what can be ignored.

Creating the wrong content for the wrong user is as bad as creating nothing at all. So how do you know?

This free tool-independent webinar explores:
• What kind of users are there?
• What sort of information does each group need?
• How do you know if your content is the right content for your users?
• Are there users you can ignore? If so, who are they and why can you ignore them?
• How do you make the business case for ignoring some users?
• How can knowing your audience reduce schedule and project costs?

You spend a lot of time creating user documentation. This webinar will help you learn to use that time wisely, make your users happy, and possibly reduce documentation schedules.

You’ve got a lot of content. You’ve been reading about Content Management Systems (CMS) that could make your life easier but they're very expensive to buy. And when you add the costs of training, changes to your workflow, and more, it seems the benefits of a CMS are not for you.  Or they MAY be for you, but you can't decide that until after spending the money.

Help authoring tools (HATs) seem unrelated to CMSs, but HATs have gone far beyond their help roots. They offer features like repositories, version control, review management, content customization using conditionality and variables, and more.  HATs are effectively lightweight CMSs. If you need a CMS, you may find that you can use your current HAT to create test-bed CMSs or even as your actual CMS, saving a lot of money and upheaval. 

This tool-independent webinar covers the issues to consider and the hidden features you may have in your existing tools that can help. You may have everything you need to smartly manage your content.

If you want to improve your workflow by leveraging content reuse, you're faced with two types of projects:

• Projects adapted from existing, legacy content; and
• Projects started from scratch, with no previous source material.

Each project has its own special requirements and you don't have time to do it wrong. You need to know the Best Practices before you start.

You'll learn how to analyze legacy content, identify reusable content objects, and create a library of variations that serve different customer audiences. Once you build your library, you can reuse the objects in both types of projects.
