Adobe Technical Communications Suite = Sweeeeeeeeet!

“They’ve done it again!” Adobe’s Technical Communications Suite is just that, Sweeeeeeeeet!

Adobe Technical Communications Suite Finally!!! I am so proud of them for actually recognizing the needs of the eLearning and Instructional Design communities. I simply think it is “hott” idea that couldn’t have come any sooner. Some of the most effective software programs I have used for instructional design and learning media are included:

  • Adobe FrameMaker8: for all our technical document publishing needs (You already know how I feel about FM8.)
  • Adobe Captivate 3: for creating some of the hottest & interactive (Flash-based) courses, presentations and assessments
  • Adobe Acrobat 3D: Okay, Pause! I have yet to use 3D because I do not need do much collaboration on engineering and architectural type of projects (i.e. those where I have to view ‘all sides’ of an object…Urgh! Blah!). Still, it’s a niiiiiice product for those who need the whole “3D Collabo”
  • Adobe RoboHelp 7: for the creation of help systems. I have used this product once before during the development of a mock Computer-Based Training (CBT) Learning Program. But, from what I recall, it is also really helpful for any designer or new media artist who has difficulty relinquishing all control over to IT. :-)

Applause.

Career Choices for a Shining EduTech Star

“Salve, Genti Pubblici!” I’m back with post numero due…

I am thinking of doing a series of posts on the numerous careers that fit under the Educational Technology umbrella. Hmmm…perhaps this will be the 1st?! I’m not quite sure @ the moment.

Anywho…In my wonderful job search I came across so many positions that my education and skill as an Instructional Designer qualified me for. Instead of doing a bunch of boring textual information :-D , I am embedding this really brief, to-the-point video presentation I found on YouTube. Thanks, zoghart!

Some of the careers that made the cut are: Instructional Designers (of course…we’re the best), eLearning Analysts, Multimedia Developers, Learning Development Managers, K12 Techies, Technology Teachers, Web Accessibility Specialists, and more…

…hope you find it helpful. Now I know what to go after for my next job.
