Users: Who are these people and what do they want? Start: 05/14/2009 9:00 am 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. All you need to connect to the Webinar is an internet-connected computer and speakers. About the presenter Sharon Burton is product manager/product evangelist with Madcap Software.

Maximize Return on Learning With Language Training Employees Will Use Start: 05/14/2009 1:00 pm Workforce trends show the fastest-growing segment of the U.S. labor force speaks English as a second language. And more than 74 percent of the world's largest corporations are headquartered outside of the U.S. The need for language training on a corporate level is clear, but not just any language training will do. It must be scalable, measurable and deliver quick results. Join this Chief Learning Officer webinar to learn how a blue-chip organization like Marriott leveraged solutions from Rosetta Stone Enterprise to meet this vital market challenge.
