  • Conversations Over Coffee

    Had a chance to meet Greg from Microsoft. He's their primary eLearning developer for the Vendor Help Desk (the nice people you call at 3am when your Word is on the fritz). Got some interesting ideas from him:- eMail training - develop corporate templates for particular situations. Post, share, and show how to copy/paste into the body of the email.- He's a big fan of SnagIt for screen captures in Captivate 3, then importing the images. I occasionally use that approach if I'm having display problems (like if I need to film in 800x600 but the screen looks wonky at that resolution).
