The July 2008 Chapter Meeting
Register now!:
Topic:
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.
Speaker:
Laurie Edelman
is a Senior Technical Writer with Altera Corporation, where she is responsible for creating web-based training targeting programmable logic devices. Laurie has experience creating user assistance documentation within a variety of industries including Education, Software Quality Assurance, and Software Engineering.
