Toronto ON - Your role as a technical communicator is destined to
change. Are you ready? From March 27-29, the Toronto chapter of the
Society for Technical Communication (STC) is presenting a three-day
hands-on workshop series on Preparing for the Content Management
Tipping Point. Several of the best-known industry experts and
luminaries will lead us through half-day sessions on information
design, architecture, and technologies needed for managing technical
content.
DAY ONE
The first day helps us to consider our written information and how it
is prepared for content management. Saul Carliner, of Concordia
University, kicks off the series with an exploration of information
design. Saul is an STC Fellow, author, and respected researcher in the
field of technical communication. His workshop looks at how content
and design affect the delivery and consumption of information. Jim
Purdy, of Communicare in Toronto, looks into the well-established best
practices of Information MappingR. Jim is Vice President Training at
Communicare and a Master Trainer in the Information Mapping
methodology. This workshop takes us through the process for
structuring content for usability using Information Mapping.
DAY TWO
The second day of workshops focuses more on the technologies used to
manage content. Michael Priestley, of IBM, sets aside the morning to
walk us through the intricacies of DITA (Darwin Information Typing
Architecture), an approved standard for managing XML content. Michael
is a lead DITA Architect at IBM and one of the standard`s original
authors. Scott Abel, the Content Wrangler, dedicates the afternoon to
examining many of the peripheral technologies that will impact the way
content is collected, managed, and distributed. Scott is a founding
member and Vice President of Content Management Professionals (CM
Pros) and a sought-after speaker on many advanced technical
communication subjects.
DAY THREE
On the final day of the series, we look at how content management is
implemented. Ann Rockley, of the Rockley Group, helps us develop a
content management reuse strategy. Ann is an STC Fellow and a true
pioneer in the field of online communication and single-source
publishing. Her book, Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content
Strategy, is the definitive source for planning and implementing
content management solutions.
CM PROS SPONSORED EVENT
The afternoon program is hosted by CM Pros (Content Management
Professionals) and features: Content Management - Doing it right. A
variety of speakers will cover such topics as building a business
case, DITA-based content management tools, getting started with
content management and more. CM Pros is a non-profit organization
established in 2003. The event is open to all members of the community
