Project Draw is a browser-based diagraming utility that lets you draw to your hearts content, without the need for plugins of any kind.  You can import a DWF file or image.  You can export the file as a DWF, PDF or graphic.

Practical Conference on Communication

I'm particpating in the Practical Conference on Commincations - October 7 - 9 in Nashville, Tennessee.  This is a jammed-packed conference that includes a pre-conference workshop on Adobe Captivate 5.

Train SMEs in the Design of Rapid e-Learning Materials

Instructional designer Debbie Richards defines the roles of the subject matter expert (SME) in developing new training systems. She also presents the information design techniques that the SME must be aware of in order to successfully support an e-Learning program under development. If you are an instructional designer or if you’re designing instructions for print or on-line documentation, you’ll find Debbie’s forthright discussion of working with SMEs a useful way to improve your interaction with the people who provide content for documentation and training products.
