In your organization, you frequently need to train others on how things are done. Whether it's for customers or new employees, there is information you know that they will benefit from. Almost every organization offers some form of training or classes or seminars to employees (and sometimes to customers) but very few are succeeding in getting those “students” to learn. In this workshop, we will explore the use of technology and E-Learning environments to improve the actual knowledge transfer in your organization. Much of today's learning can take place on-line in organized, downloadable segments and we'll show you the best way to create and deliver your important content using technology. We'll also discuss on-demand reference systems and the types of information that is best made available from a webpage or smartphone instead of asking people to memorize it. No more wasting time with on-the-job training or day-long classes that are not effective. Here are some of the topics that will be covered: • How to design courses so that learning really takes place • What kinds of knowledge or information is best taught and what is best made available from a Wiki or other reference system? • Tools for “recording” PowerPoint presentations (and other applications) so that others can learn on their own time • The use of new media (video and audio) in your e-learning courseware • Learning Management Systems and keeping track of learner’s progress

HTML5 is awesome. Well, it will be awesome when it\'s finally ready. Probably. The bad news is that by the time the W3C have finished monkeying with HTML5, I\'ll probably have given up on the web as a whole and taken up meat goat farming. The good news (for you, me and the goats) is that there\'s no need to wait for a lot of the functionality that HTML5 promises; we can start using them right now. In this session I\'m going to show you how you can steal these features from the Flash Player and use them in your standards-based sites or applications, without even a sniff of Flash on the page.

Richard Tibbetts, CTO, StreamBase Systems. StreamSQL EventFlow is one of the most popular languages for Complex Event Processing (CEP), a data management paradigm for real-time applications. Based on a stream-relational data model common to other CEP languages, EventFlow is unique in that it is a visual language. This talk will focus on the design of visual representations for key features including event dispatch, modularity, data parallelism, polymorphism, and dependency injection, and on the co-development of an Eclipse-based IDE along with a new programming language. StreamSQL EventFlow is the primary programming language for the StreamBase Event Processing Platform. Complex Event Processing platforms are used to process large volumes of event-oriented data in real-time, often in latency-critical applications such as securities trading. Combining clustering, messaging, queuing, data storage, and application logic into one system minimizes latency and gives the programmer control over all aspects of the application. StreamSQL EventFlow is an executable visual language for building CEP applications, unlike visual environments designed for non-developers, or architecture-focused modeling tools. The talk will cover experiences overcoming prejudice against visual programming languages, and how critical development tools are to that process. We will also discuss some details of the implementation including the compiler, a visual debugger, and diff/merge functionality.

One of the biggest problems facing content marketers and other content professionals today is their inability to create content that establishes a brand as a thought leader. There's never enough time to create all the content needed. This presentation examines an influencer marketing campaign that takes advantage of content manufacturing and that leverages the unified content strategy. While you may not leverage the same tools and standards that we did, the concepts are applicable to almost any content producing organization.

Content marketing production processes are broken. Most organizations can’t crank out the wide variety of content needed because their processes are outdated, inefficient, and riddled with waste. Oh, and then there are tools. Content marketers don’t have the right ones for the jobs at hand. In this presentation, content strategy guru Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, will demystify the benefits of intelligent content for content marketers and outline the changes needed in order for marketers to take advantage of the approach. Attendee takeaways: How adopting intelligent content can turn a content marketing department into a content marketing factory How some brands are leveraging intelligent content to produce more content with less effort Lessons learned from the pros working in the trenches What you’ll need to get started #CMWorld

Creating A Digital Content Factory: Getting Started with Intelligent Content

Scott Abel

In the Experience Age, consumers expect much more from brands than they have in the past. Once they’ve enjoyed an exceptional customer experience, they become intolerant of confusing, irrelevant, and inconsistent content. Brands that recognize this fact and deliver exceptional content experiences across all customer touchpoint will be rewarded with loyalty. In order to deliver exceptional content experiences, savvy brands are taking a critical look at how they create, manage, and deliver content. And, what they’re finding is that the approaches they’ve relied on for decades can no longer meet current and future business needs. Enter intelligent content. Content with superpowers. Content that is designed to dynamically adapt to meet customer needs. It’s content that is digital, data-driven, and dynamic. It’s digital in that it is designed and built for a connected world. It is data-driven in that can be connected to — and integrated with — enterprise data resources. And, it’s dynamic in that it can automatically respond to individual customer needs. During this opening keynote presentation (originally delivered at the Intelligent Content Conference in San Francisco, March 2015), Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, and co-founder of the Intelligent Content Conference will explore the need for intelligent content in the Experience Age. You’ll discover why our current processes are insufficient, and what some companies are doing to overcome traditional publishing roadblocks.

Intelligent Content in the Experience Age by Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler

Did you know that the average human brain processes information that is more visual up to 60,000 times faster than text? But wait! Text is visual right? Not in the same way. Photos, videos and other visual mediums communicate on a whole 'nother level than a paragraph of text. The rise of visual content marketing over the last couple of years has been driven by bevy of platforms and tools that give little excuse to not include it into your marketing efforts. Join Adam Helweh as he identifies these trends, explores the tools and helps you create a more vibrant visual marketing mix for your audience. You will learn: • Why is visual content more effective than other types of content • What emerging trends and tools are driving the use of visual content • How to go beyond the confines of the static image to make visual content that’s more alive and engaging. This presentation was given at Content Strategy Applied USA on November 17-18, 2014

Emerging Trends in Visual Content Marketing with Adam Helweh

Scott Abel

Today, business is digital. That makes content critical. Content now represents nearly a third of marketing budgets alone (Content Marketing Institute), and that proportion will only increase. Content also is the substance of most digital media products and digital channel communications. So, you might have enjoyed some success with implementing a content strategy for a single product, channel, or marketing campaign. Now, imagine repeating that success. How do you make your content strategy scale across products, brands, channels, markets and more? It's a question that often brings up many, many, MANY more questions for midsize and enterprise organizations. This session will help you answer them with a practical vision and 3 useful principles to scale your content strategy.

You CAN prove the savings possible from moving your unstructured content to intelligent content. The benefits are measurable. Intelligent content combined with a content management system can facilitate savings and improvements in content development, translation, regulations, governance, multi-channel publishing, and quality. In this session, Mark discusses how the various processes benefit from intelligent content and discusses metrics that prove the benefit. If it hurts, then it's time to calculate the pain — and the relief. This session draws from concepts in Mark's book, DITA Metrics 101, The Business Case for XML and Intelligent Content. Mark also discusses which metrics you should gather so you can align your plan with corporate strategy and become the "Executive Whisperer." This session is part of The Content Wrangler Virtual Summit on Advanced Technical Communication Practices, December 4-5, 2014. Hosted by BrightTALK. Sponsored by SDL, Astoria Software, Acrolinx, oXygen XML Editor, Logos, Scriptorium, and Oberon Technologies.

The ROI of Intelligent Content with Mark Lewis, DITA Educator, Quark

Scott Abel

Content strategy is about so much more than streamlining your content development process—it's about supporting your organization's business goals. To be truly effective, your content strategy should be global. That means breaking down the barriers that keep the different types of content producers in your organization apart. Your organization creates various kinds of content—technical, marketing, training, and more. Your content strategy may begin with tech comm, but it should also account for these other types of content to present a unified message and better serve your brand. This presentation shows how, with a global strategy, all of your content can work together to help your organization succeed. Gretyl Kinsey is a technical consultant with Scriptorium Publishing who specializes in content strategy and tech comm tools and technologies. Since joining Scriptorium in 2011, she has been involved with the development and implementation of content strategies for organizations in a variety of industries.

Once a prospect buys a product or service, the content they interact with is no longer familiar. The instructions provided don't look, feel, or sound anything like the marketing and sales materials that introduced them to your brand. Neither does the service contract, the warranty, the customer support website, the product documentation, nor the training materials. The extensive variability in customer experience — and each customer touchpoint — creates a different and inconsistent version of the brand, some that bear little or no resemblance to the brand that executives believe they are building. There are often as many brands as there are touch points. For no good reason, the content experience changes drastically -- and not in a good way. That's why organizations that recognize the importance of a unified customer experience have started rethinking what it means to be customer-centric. Some forward-thinking organizations are reorganizing customer-facing content creators into teams under one roof. They're breaking down the barriers — the silos — that prevent them from collaborating; from creating a unified customer content experience. In this presentation, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, discusses the challenges of content inconsistency and incongruity, and why he thinks the future of technical communication is marketing.

George Bina explores the world of XML authoring for technical documentation. He shares tips and tricks designed to help technical communicators understand the advanced information management capabilities structured XML authoring provides over traditional authoring approaches. Specifically, George addresses the following questions: How do I know what content to create? What XML markup should I choose and why? How do I leverage markup to engineer better authoring experiences? How to we enforce content rules in XML documents? Why correcting content problems during the authoring process can help you reduce costs?

The Future of Technical Communication is Marketing

Scott Abel

Time is in short supply. Deadlines are tight. Resources are even tighter. If you're like most content professionals, you have dozens of great ideas but not enough time, money or experience to bring them to life. But it doesn't have to be this way. In this content marketing meets intelligent content engineering case study, we will explain how the newly published book, The Language of Content Strategy (XML Press) was created with the help of the crowd, structured XML content, a wiki and a formal content strategy. Attend this session to learn how the two seasoned content strategists enlisted the help of 50 knowledgeable experts to create a printed book, an e-book, a companion website and educational flash cards in record time, all from a single source of content. You'll discover why it's imperative that content professionals —regardless of their area of specialty — understand and leverage the power of advanced information development practices. You'll leave knowing why a repeatable content production system, optimized for productivity and designed to efficiently produce multiple content products simultaneously, is no longer an option, but rather a necessity.

Getting the right information to the right people, at the right time, in the right format, and in the right language is the goal of every professional technical communicator. But, the pace of change is fast, and each and every step forward is often accompanied by two steps back. That’s because the speed of technological change is outstripping our ability to keep up. It seems we’re always playing catch up. But, it doesn’t have to be that way. In this slide deck, Scott Abel, The Content Wrangler, showcases five powerful information technology innovations that, when harnessed by professional technical communicators, can help us future-proof our content and ensure we’re meeting – even exceeding – our goals.
