Welcome to the New England Lectora Users Group Website!
Welcome to the official web site of the New England Lectora™ User’s Group. If you use Trivantis™ products, particularly Lectora™, and work in the greater New England area, you have found a home. Our members include Organizational Developers, Instructional Technologists, Instructional Designers, Course Developers, Technical Writers, and Project Managers who work in a wide variety of industries: financial services, health care, safety, software development, on-line services, and more. We share a common interest in improving our ability to develop high-quality instructional on-demand programs. Some of us have been involved in training for our whole careers; others are just getting started.
We meet four times a year, usually via "technology" (a combination of conference call and web conferencing) hosted by a members' corporation. (In the past, we also held meetings that were attended by our members both in person and via technology and may possibly return to that format for selected meetings sometime in the future, if the membership wants them.)
If you are interested in the on-demand delivery of knowledge in any form, read on. We’d be happy to answer your questions.
Adding Character to Your Lectora Course
Ron discussed how Boston University converted 2000 page s of instructor-led project management training into 11 Lectora eLearning courses. BU created and used an animated interactive character within theses eLearning courses using Character Builder software. The challenge included converting 600 audio clips to animations within three months and with only 2 ½ students! Ron presented on Socially Intelligent Interfaces, Benefits of Interactive Characters, How to Use Interactive Characters, Meet “Stan”(BU’s character), Animating Characters, and Getting Characters into Lectora.
The New England Lectora Users Group is completely independent of Trivantis Corporation. Trivantis Corporation is not involved in any way the preparation, planning, support or promotion of any New England Area Users Group event. An initial invitational e-mail was sent by Trivantis sent to registered users as a courtesy to you to make you aware of the formation of the New England Lectora Users Group. It is your decision whether or not to participate.
