Vendor Refresh Training: Part 1

This morning, we conducted the first vendor refresh training. Among the items we covered:

• Updates to the toolbar (Boxes macro, cleaning up Char styles, etc.)
• Updates to the interface (multiple document upload, packaging, etc.)
• Simplify templates so that they are usable
• Verify templates to the tagging guidelines
• Use of the QA checklist

The vendors at this refresh training were:

• Aptara
• Glyph International
• Integra
• Lapiz
• Laserwords
• MPS Limited
• PreMediaGlobal (PMG)
• S4Carlisle

Domestic vendors are scheduled for a similar session later this week.

We'll have an additional session later this week. The goal of this refresh training is to baseline all the vendors and Pearson in the knowledge we have to date for creating templates and working with WriteRAP projects.

We will follow up on these efforts with a monthly vendor forum to address any new issues, updates and questions that arise.
