Self Service Learning Content Development - Enablement

Learning content development that requires minimal graphic, media, and developer support. Focus on CA Education approach to enabling large scale content development that is efficient, consistent and engaging.  We will start with an overview which will provide the evolution story of using external vendors to build our courseware to the pilot program to bring content development in-house.  We will describe some of the services the external vendors provided and show how we were able to bring that skill internally.  With regards to self-service, we will describe our templates, guidelines and tools that have been put in place to aid more self-development, which frees resources to have more time to work on increasingly complex and innovative iterations of courseware.
