With all the various ways in which learning and development professionals deliver content to their learners, finding an efficient way to manage content is always a challenge. Having the same content delivered in e-Learning, mobile, and classroom usually means managing content updates and delivering new content in different files and different formats. Enterprise content management systems and learning content management systems are expensive and complex to implement. This problem is exacerbated as organizations struggle with larger and larger volumes of legacy content and the speed at which content requires updating.
Participants in this case-study session will examine a pilot project conducted at a Canadian Government sector council where Open Office Markup Language (OOML) in Word was used to build content management capabilities. You'll learn about the Forum for International Trade Training sector council's business challenge, the results of a professional analysis conducted around that challenge, see the solution architecture and how it addressed the business challenge, and see live demonstrations of the solution. Participants will learn a practical way to manage content with a low-cost, technologically advanced application using Microsoft Word and the OOML standard as an alternative to the expensive, proprietary complex learning content management systems.
In this session, you will learn:
- The business challenge surrounding content management
- What OOML is
- How to harness OOML in Word for content management
- A new application for single-sourcing content in Word
Audience: Intermediate and advanced designers, developers, managers, and others who know what a content management system is and are familiar with what XML standards are.
