Trivantis recently added another Lectora® training option for our users: video training. You can now purchase on-demand video training courses for Lectora Fundamentals and Lectora Intermediate in the Trivantis shop. That means you can access training videos from our Lectora eLearning experts anywhere, anytime!

Why video training?

With Lectora video training courses, you can learn Lectora authoring software at your own pace, right in your office or home. The videos have interactive instructions, quick tips, and engaging simulations right from the Lectora experts.

The courses are hosted online, and you can access them anywhere, anytime for up to 60 days from when you purchase them. For example, let’s say you want to review a specific section, or you’re working late one night and want to reference a technique. With these video courses, you can do that.

To give you a better idea of what video training courses are like, I asked one of our fantastic trainers, Gina White, a few questions:

What is one of the most common topics that new users need help with and is addressed in Lectora training?

Variables. Lectora Intermediate training will introduce you to variables and reinforce the logic.

What are a few examples of topics covered in Lectora Fundamentals?

The Fundamentals class will teach you the basics of Lectora® Inspire, including an introduction to many of the menus within the application and the various object properties. In this class, you’ll build an eLearning course from scratch consisting of: chapters, sections, pages, and a graded test. You’ll include a variety of media within your title to engage learners and learn how to create basic actions (such as rollovers), navigation, customized buttons, and various question types. You will also learn how to publish a title to ReviewLink™ and to HTML for access via the Web.

What are a few examples of topics covered in Lectora Intermediate?

The Intermediate course will focus primarily on using variables and conditional actions within a title. In this course, you'll learn how to take your Lectora knowledge to the next level. You'll use variables to track user interactivity, display both generic and user information, and conditionally branch within a title. Finally, you'll learn how to publish a title to AICC/SCORM, for use within a learning management system.

What if I'm not totally new to using Lectora? Can I jump ahead to Lectora Intermediate?

Yes, you are able to skip through to the Intermediate course. The Intermediate class goes above and beyond the basic uses of Lectora. Prior to taking this course, you should be comfortable with creating a course structure, adding content to a title, creating buttons, and have an overall understanding of Lectora's book metaphor, inheritance, and modes. These concepts are covered in the Lectora Fundamentals Training.

Thanks, Gina, for the info!
