Adaptive content automatically adjusts to different environments and device capabilities to deliver the best possible customer experience, filtering and layering content for greater or lesser depth of detail. Adaptive content can be displayed in any desired order, respond to specific customer interactions, change based on location, and integrate content from other sources. Many organizations are focusing on the issues of screen size using responsive design. However, responsive web design only resizes a website; it does nothing to provide the right content in the right context for customers. The only way to create content that meets changing customer needs is to create adaptive content. This session will: Provide an understanding of adaptive content Explain the differences between responsive design and adaptive content Provide an understanding of how to build a content strategy to support adaptive content VIEW RECORDING » System Requirements Adobe Flash Player 8.1  Get Flash Player » 2013-05-07T08:34:55+00:00 http://www.congility.com/index.php/site/news/how_do_you_manage_content_when_it_must_be_delivered_into_several_parallel_s/ http://www.congility.com/index.php/site/news/how_do_you_manage_content_when_it_must_be_delivered_into_several_parallel_s/#When:11:24:58Z Presented by Adrian Warman - Information Architect, IBM About Adrian more » How do you manage content when it must be delivered into several, parallel streams? There might be big differences between the platforms, or the supported features. How do you make sure the right content is included – or excluded – for the right set of documentation? In this webinar, we will look at the challenges of working with parallel streams of content, and talk about how to work reliably and consistently in such an environment. We will look at how others have tackled, and solved, similar problems, and see how their solution might be adapted to help us. In doing so, we'll see how repurposing a development technology increases our credibility with software developers, and even promises to let us work just as efficiently on the beach, or 30,000 feet in the air!

Publishers have been exploring ways to exploit their content in electronic format for over two decades. Organizations whose activity is not primarily publishing (the so-called ‘accidental publishers’) are also increasingly looking at how to get their information to their user groups more effectively. With so many people therefore involved in the act of publishing fact-based content, there seems to be a surprising lack of understanding about how to model information, and an unwillingness to take on new methods of content creation, even when the business case is clear. In this session Judi Vernau will talk about how to structure and classify your content so that it can be easily retrieved, combined and re-used in order to provide a better experience for current customers, and to exploit new opportunities for content development.

Presented by: Mekon's Noz Urbina Brought to you by: DCLabs VIEW RECORDING Session Overview About Noz more » “Social” isn’t limited to WIKIs, Forums, Facebook, and Twitter. More and more organisations are looking at how community content can complement (and in some cases replace) their formal product content. Also, many are noticing how much overlap there is with social content platforms and their own intranets, internal business collaboration and knowledge sharing platforms. For most, putting documentation fully in the hands of the users – even internal subject matter experts – isn’t an option, 1or is simply not desirable. Also, creating yet another silo of social content isn’t helpful for users trying to find answers. So, how can community and formally created content play nicely together? On this session see best practice concepts and case study examples demonstrating: The pitfalls of poorly implemented social functions How the DITA platform can form the core of a socially-enabled documentation platform The key social features that organisations are implementing – and the back-end processes required to prevent chaos How internal SME and external customer communities can be leveraged for maximum benefit to both The impact on: editorial process, metrics and measurement, version management, content models, workflow, and metadata strategies Space is limited. 2011-09-29T10:55:28+00:00
