Customer Speak
Customer Profile
The digital information subsidiary of one of the largest US publishers of newspapers. The company develops & manages the newspaper chain’s Internet properties & operates a national network of city and regional news websites in over 100 markets. These city portals offer in-depth local content & classified services.
Business Case
- The company introduced a unified publishing system to manage content for its city portals.
- The publishing system is designed to be used by editors, reporters, publishers & administrators.
- The company needed to train employees on using this publishing system. For this, an effective, streamlined approach that would deliver consistent user experience, independent of time or location of use, was required.
Solution
- Aptech designed a Web-based training program based on HTML & JavaScript.
- The courseware presents live, updated content in a format aimed at self-directed, self-paced learning.
- From experience, the company knew their users preferred training programs without audio, so Aptech elevated the role of animation to keep learners engaged.
- With Flash & other multimedia tools, Aptech created 2D animation to lead users through the Web publishing system’s capabilities.
