The Rapid Development Tools Intensive: Basic-to-Intermediate Concepts and Techniques

(This is Part 1 of a two-part Rapid Tools Intensive. Part 2 happens on June 24-25th. You can maximize your learning by participating in both because they are designed to lead learners seamlessly from beginning to advanced concepts. Note: there are separate fees for each forum.) See Part 2.

This Online Forum, the first part of the Rapid Tools Intensive, will guide you through practical exercises in which you will learn to effectively use different Rapid e-Learning development tools. You will see basic-to-intermediate concepts and skills, and see step-by-step techniques that you can apply to your work. We chose these rapid tools because, in a recent e-Learning Guild Rapid Tools survey, they were rated as the most popular. View by schedule or authoring tool track.
