A Valuable Opportunity to Receive Training on ToolBook, Flash, Captivate, Instructional Design, and more.

The 2011 sessions have not yet been identified. We have listed the 2010 sessions below to give you an idea of what to expect. Please check back as more sessions are added.

There will be two day's worth of Preconference Training sessions available for attendees.  Presented in 4-hour blocks over two days, these sessions are in-depth training opportunities. 

This opportunity is designed to provide a bargain for anyone hoping to either learn how to harness the power of ToolBook, Flash, JavaScript, or Silverlight.

• My favorite part was the preconference workshops - 4 hour sessions were great!  (2007)
• I really enjoy the whole program. I always do at least 2 preconference sessions and maybe all but one or two sessions Monday and Tuesday.  (2007)
• The preconference workshops were very important. Seeing that I am new to ToolBook, it helped me get the basics. Without it, I would have been lost thoughout the rest.  (2006)
• The conference paid for itself before the Preconference Sessions were even over. Loved the hands-on!  (2005)
• Preconference sessions were the best part!  (2005)
• Preconference sessions were the best. I enjoyed the level of detail.  (2003)
• By the way, Chris and Jeff, my thanks for the excellent preconference workshop. It was very useful, and I feel I learned a lot that I can use for a long time. (My students thank you, too.)  (1999)
