The July 2008 Chapter Meeting

Topic:

    Developing an Interactive Tutorial with Adobe Captivate and RoboHelp

    In recent years, many companies have recognized the positive and effective use of simulated and interactive learning tools to systematically teach complex concepts, policy, and tasks associated with proprietary material. The software department at Altera Corporation just completed the fourth release of the Quartus II Interactive Tutorial using Adobe Captivate and RoboHelp development tools. The Quartus II software is an advanced engineering design tool provided to customers for the purpose of creating designs and programming Altera programmable logic devices.

    This presentation describes the processes and methods used to develop the Quartus II Interactive Tutorial. The tutorial provides an overview of key concepts and software features and, additionally, interactively guides users on how to use the features correctly and tests their ability to complete tasks on their own.
