WEBINAR 1
 
TITLE: Adobe RoboHelp and Lightext, Inc. - The Help and Training Connection
 
SHORT DESCRIPTION: Join Tom Aldous, Adobe Product Evangelist, and experts from Lightext (http://www.lightext.com/), a leading provider of training and documentation services, for an engaging and interactive eSeminar to learn how to create valuable training materials, such as leaders’ guides and participants’ manuals, from your existing RoboHelp projects.
 
In this session, we’ll demonstrate how to set up your projects in a manner that will allow you to utilize them as single source for your help and classroom tools, thus saving time, eliminating duplication, and ensuring consistency. Also, Lightext and Adobe will introduce the concept of the Learning Professional, an individual who utilizes available tools, knowledge and systems for the optimum user experience, whether it be through Help or Training.
 
Traditionally, companies (particularly those managing a lot of policies and procedures and training mandates) reinvent the wheel to meet these two objectives. See how Lightext has successfully introduced the concept of utilizing RoboHelp to handle both needs – thus saving time and ensuring synchronicity and compliance.
