Blended Courseware and Screen Recording

Blending eLearning (online and combination of online with live) training courses can be produced with off-the-shelf software and hardware tools. Courseware can range from a simple video short on Youtube to a comprehensive video/material package (PowerPoint recordings, demo recordings, closed captions, quizzes, workbook, instructor workbook, and packages for download).

Specialized Document Layouts

There's nothing wrong to mix things up by designing documents in unexpected formats. Also, the power of InDesign makes it possible for single-source design that can be configured (layers, conditional text, text variables) to be used for specialized content (student or instructor material), multi-language (English, German, ...), and output (interactive, online, or print).
