Course description

Custom Training Course

Is your Web site full of information that was originally published in print?  Is the site overloaded with hard-to-read PDFs that need to be rewritten for the Web?  This course will help you solve the print-to-web problem.  You’ll review several case studies in repurposing to learn a variety of techniques for translating print to Web.  You’ll develop repurposing strategies for reports, policy manuals, brochures, and press releases.  You’ll also learn ways to make a print document work online when, for legal or copyright reasons, you can’t alter the original content.
