| Dell Services for Sidra | To develop and deliver blended learning training materials and supporting information for eight IT systems implemented in a Medical and Research Centre. |
About the project
The client required documentation to support the users of eight IT systems. The required documentation was to be delivered in a variety of formats and applied in a variety of uses:
- Trainer-led classroom materials for trainers and trainees in pdf format.
- Introductions to the e-learning modules in the LMS / e-learning portal. Web page.
- A Quick Reference Guide to support the e-learning module. Web page.
- An online Help system for each of the eight systems.
To minimise duplication and streamline the authoring process I developed an XML authoring environment which could output, from a single set of source topics:
- A web-page Quick Reference Guide which could be displayed and printed as the trainee was working through the e-learning.
- Separate Trainer and Trainee guides (pdf documents).
- A standalone Online Help system.
The tools used to develop the materials:
- XML Spy – to author individual topics and output pdf and web page versions.
- HTML Workshop – to build the table of contents for the webhelp.
