About the Event
In 2006 we introduced the two-topic progression to accommodate the traffic in the area and everyone's busy schedules. If you come early, you get to leave early, or just spend some extra time networking. If you come late, you won't miss a thing. We'll hold two progressions, then a break for announcements, food, and finish off with a third progression. There will also be a table available for networking during all three progressions.
- Moving from Technical Communication to Software Testing
- Technical Communicators can use their skills in many different ways. During this presentation you'll learn what it'll take to start moving into the Software Testing field.
- Progression table host: Doreen Mannion.
- Creating Webinars using Articulate and PowerPoint
- Articulate Presenter and Articulate Quizmaker enable you to create recorded web seminars and e-learning courses quickly, using existing Powerpoint presentations. Mary Wise, a Senior Communications Manager at Fannie Mae, will show you how to make the most of Powerpoint's capabilities and Articulate's features to leverage your existing presentations and create interactive recorded web seminars, complete with learning games, quizzes, and surveys.
- Progression table host: Mary Wise.
