♦ Adobe Captivate
Our clients and colleagues requested it, and we've developed a distance learning course for Adobe Captivate. The course provides the flexible tools to create effective, engaging content, and is offered via Ovation, our global learning site. Students work independently, complete the course segments at their own pace, and have ongoing instructor collaboration.

♦ Microsoft Word 2010
New Word 2010 users look for familiar options as they learn to navigate the Ribbon. We start our migration classes by describing the Ribbon as a large circle that pivots and stops according to the currently selected tab, displaying specific functions for that tab. As students assimilate the new interface, we provide the old and new keyboard shortcuts for faster feature access.

Use Keyboard Shortcuts for Ribbon Options - Press the Alt key to display all shortcuts. To select a tab or option, press Alt and the letter or number.
