Seminar/Online-Workshop - SCHEMA ST4 editing system - 7 days of practice
For organizational and cost reasons, technical manuals today are typically created in modular form in an editing system such as SCHEMA ST4.
In our practical week, you will learn about the many tasks and possibilities of content management and then apply them in practice. You will practice creating structures, modularizing and classifying content, publishing documents and much more in Schema ST4.
Your benefit
- You will receive 2 seminar days of training in SCHEMA ST4 so that you can create, edit, compile and publish modular content.
- In the subsequent 5-day online workshop, you will apply your knowledge in practice using practical examples: You will design and create several variants of instructions directly in Schema ST4. During this time, you can ask questions at any time, which will be answered once a day.
- In an editing system such as SCHEMA ST4, content is typically created by different authors. All participating persons form an editorial team in which each individual takes on a specific task. You will learn how important it is to coordinate with the team when working in the editing system.
- All open points are clarified in a final meeting.
