ANN: MadCap Flare the Authoring Tool of Choice for Carnegie Mellon
MadCap Software was pleased to announce its latest case study
highlighting how Carnegie Mellon University uses MadCap Flare to teach
students documentation best practices. In the past, students mocked
up their online Help in HTML. It was extremely labor-intensive, and it
didnt give them the practical experience of using an authoring tool,
said Tracey DePellegrin Connelly. With Flare, the difference is night
and day between what they were doing before and what they are now able
to learn. Its been an extremely valuable tool for giving our students
real-world experience.
It can be hard to grasp the separation of content and formatting
within a structured authoring environment if you are used to working
with word processing and authoring packages where the formatting is
applied directly to the content, said Ms. Ciroli. Flare did a nice
job of bridging that gap. Our students liked that they didnt have to
worry about formatting, as well as how easy it was to set up the
online Help navigation using the indexing and glossary features in
Flare. Whether they were technically savvy or not, all the students
could get the output they needed.
