Put these dates in your planner—you won’t want to miss any of the exciting Lectora, CourseMill, and ReviewLink breakout sessions, keynote speakers, eLearning exhibitors, and events we have planned for the 2017 Lectora User Conference.

9:00 AM - 5:00 PM | Pre-Conference Training
The Lectora experts are in the house! Prep for Mission: Possible by signing up for one of these great training classes the day before. Learn development secrets straight from the Lectora training team.
Space is limited in our pre-conference training, so register early to reserve your seat! This year we're offering the following classes:
Lectora Intermediate
This class goes above and beyond the basic uses of Lectora, focusing primarily on the use of variables and conditional actions within a title. In this course, you’ll learn how to take your Lectora knowledge to the next level. You’ll use variables to track user interactivity, display both generic and user information, and conditionally branch within a title. Finally, you’ll learn how to publish a title to AICC/SCORM, for use within a learning management system. (Before taking this course, you should be comfortable with creating a course structure, adding content to a title, creating buttons, and have an overall understanding of Lectora’s book metaphor, inheritance, and modes. These concepts are covered in the Lectora Fundamentals training.)
Room: Buckeye A
Lectora Extreme/Games
This class focuses on advanced uses of objects, variables, and conditional action groups to create sophisticated eLearning content and games. You will learn how to build on existing knowledge and experience and combine seemingly unrelated functionality in advanced ways, including:
Before taking the Lectora Extreme/Games course, you should have a solid understanding of:
…and some experience with User-defined Variables and conditional actions.
Room: Buckeye B
Extending Lectora With Scripting
Conducted by John Blackmon, Trivantis founder and CTO, this class takes you as deep as you want to go with Lectora, integrating Lectora with custom JavaScript, server side scripting, and databases. You’ll learn how to make Lectora do things you never thought possible, from updating course information live from a database, to integrating with custom coded JavaScript interactions and Games. (Before taking this course, you should be familiar with JavaScript, and have some exposure to server side scripting and databases.)
