E-Learning Software, E-learning Authoring tools

Elearning solutions mean you get the best of both worlds. You get much more effective learning when ILT and CBT are combined. It's a powerful combination.

With Elearning you get online flexibility. You can repeat the training until you can retain the information. You never have to leave the office while you are taking your training; meaning you are still available to those that need you.

And you get to interact just like in the real world with hands on simulated labs that let you perfect your skills within a simulated environment. This increases the likelihood that you will remember what you learned and bring it to the workplace.

If you use Dreamweaver for a lot of development projects, you realize that finding ways to speed up the repetitive tasks can save you development time. That is one reason I like the book Dreamweaver MX 2004 Killer Tips (ISBN: 0-7357-1379-0).

In this tip I would like to share some of my favorite, basic tips. These are tips that help you do simple tasks faster. Hopefully, they are tips that you will find helpful as well.

Closing and Opening Documents

If you are like me, over the course of a day you will open numerous documents. You can quickly close all those documents to begin anew by choosing File > Close All. There is of course a keyboard equivalent for those power users.

For you windows users you can take this one step further. If you would like to close all the documents except the one you are working on, right click the document tab (the document must be maximized) and choose Close Other Files from the context menu.

By the way, Macromedia products are loaded with context menus (right-click or control click), so if you don't normally look for those, you may want to start. You will find some interesting and time saving commands.

If you are finished for the day and want to close Dreamweaver down, but be able to quickly open all of the files you were working on, you can do that as well. To set this up,  edit the preferences. In the General category there is a check box to Reopen documents on startup. Check that option, then when you leave Dreamweaver just close it down, don't close the documents. The next time you open Dreamweaver, those documents will open as well.
