This presentation focuses on how Autodesk has adopted a strategy to facilitate the efficient development, modification, and reuse of learning materials using a single-source asset-based approach to content development and delivery. Using a learning content management system (LCMS) and a learning object approach based on information mapping principles, the presentation shows how Autodesk has been able to meet the demands of its over 6 million user customer base and deliver content to multiple constituents, in multiple languages, in different modalities from a single source repository.
