Engage and Empower: Using MadCap Flare for interactive presentations
While PowerPoint slides play an important role in learning and development, learners have strong opinions, they either love them or loathe them. A quick google search on the 'reputation of PowerPoint slides' reveals a variety of less-than-favourable opinions. Don't risk disengaging your learners from the start by relying on a PowerPoint presentation.
Traditional slide decks are often limiting and linear, but what if your presentation could be interactive, dynamic and always accessible? Instead of using a PowerPoint, leverage the potential of a MadCap Flare to create engaging, flexible and content rich learning experiences for your learner and facilitators.
In this session, discover how to use a MadCap Flare HTML5 output as a versatile presentation tool to seamlessly integrate multimodal and media rich content to enhance learner engagement and develop learner capabilities in an effective and modern way.

Power up your learning content - create impactful learning experiences
Hit a home run with reusable content across all your instructional design products.
In today’s fast paced digital world, 21st-century learners are time-poor multitaskers who expect flexible, engaging, and easily accessible learning resources. This demand places greater responsibility on technical writers and instructional designers, requiring them to develop content that seamlessly integrates blended learning methodologies while optimising learning experiences across multiple formats.
To meet these challenges, instructional designers must adopt smart content development strategies that maximise efficiency, maintain consistency, and enhance learner engagement across various outputs. In this session, Kylie will demonstrate how to leverage MadCap Flare to create a scalable, adaptable, and reusable content strategy that ensures learning materials remain effective and engaging while reducing duplicated work effort.
Join this session to discover how to bridge the gap between pedagogy, technology, and learner needs by efficiently repurposing content for multiple instructional formats.
