SPECIAL: "From Paper to Web Workshop" with TECHWR-L Discount

On October 4-5, 2001, in Research Triangle Park, NC,
Bright Path Solutions presents "From Paper to Web:
Instructional Design for e-Learning" at a substantial
discount for TECHWR-L members.

In the "From Paper to Web" Workshop, you examine the three
most common obstacles to a successful e-learning strategy: (1)
lack of interactivity, (2) cultural resistance, and (3) lack of
bandwidth. You learn to identify specific learner obstacles that must
be considered when designing e-learning programs. "From Paper
to Web" provides practical tips and techniques to overcome these
obstacles in your instructional design. Join in for a fast-paced,
highly interactive workshop that focuses on the "real-world"
aspects of designing e-learning programs for the web. Gain a
foundation in training development that is not dependent on any
one authoring tool, but incorporates the principles of effective
instructional development in the e-learning environment.

This workshop usually costs $695, but as a special for the
TECHWR-L community, Bright Path and Raycomm are working
together to offer this workshop to TECHWR-L members for
only $395.
