How HubSpot Academy Uses DITA For Their Learning Platform
In this free webinar, you’ll learn how HubSpot Academy, the world’s leader in providing inbound sales, marketing, and customer service education, uses DITA to help solve their content creation, conversion, and output needs.
HubSpot’s use case is exciting and unique as it pushes the boundaries of what we typically associate with DITA. Rather than producing typical technical documentation, HubSpot is using DITA to produce:
-
- Complete lessons, courses, and certifications
- Learning assessments
- Powerpoint outputs
- And localizing that content in five languages
Think you know DITA? Just wait until you see the level of flexibility and scalability that HubSpot was able to bring to their content operations through the implementation of the DITA standard.
This presentation will describe the implementation as it relates to changes in processes, tools, and employee behavior and skills.
Presenter: Jarod Sickler
Documentation Manager & Customer Success Manager, Heretto.
Jarod oversees the Jorsek documentation site and is involved in managing complex customer implementations of Heretto.
Simultaneously, he’s a Ph.D. candidate in philosophy at the University of Rochester, specializing in metaphysics and epistemology. His dissertation focuses on the role and importance of the grounding relation in the overall metaphysical structure of epistemic justification. Slowly but surely, he’s making progress on his thesis. If you’re in the market for an effective sleep aid, he’ll happily share his research with you.
Whether it’s in his research, documentation, or customer implementations, Jarod enjoys thinking through complex problems and finding the simplest and yet most powerful solution.
In his spare time, Jarod tries to convince his kids that he’s still cool. They aren’t buying it.
