Submitted by admin on Sun, 01/17/2010 - 22:06

March 1998 to February 2000.

Presentation layer (ASP, HTML, CSS, JavaScript) development for websites and web-based products in the "Corporate ZDU" family of corporate training solutions.

  • Presentation layer design and development, and ASP and HTML and development for websites in the "Corporate ZDU" (formerly at http://welcome.zdu.com/) product family (now all accessed by login at http://www.ElementK.com/). The Corporate ZDU line of products was intended to deliver a full spectrum of training resources to corporate clients. Activities included:
    • Presentation layer design, HTML and ASP development for Corporate ZDU (http://welcome.zdu.com/) (now at http://www.ElementK.com/).
    • Customization of O'Reilly WebBoard message board user interface for use in online classroom environment at Corporate ZDU (new message boards live in December 1999, superceded by a superior product using the same UI design in March 2000).
    • Interface design, DHTML and ASP development for ZDU Corporate Administration (formerly at http://admin.zdu.com/).
  • Interface redesign and implementation for the QuickSkill.CD browser-based training product.
  • ASP development, web page redesign and redesign implementation for Corporate LearnItOnline (formerly at http://corp.learnitonline.com/).
  • Presentation layer and information architecture design, ASP development, web page redesign and redesign implementation for Corporate LearnItOnline. (Due to the simplicity of its interface and the stability of the application, LearnItOnline remained online for more than three years beyond its scheduled replacement date. It later served as the basis for the Training.com family of products—see above.)
  • Implemented and maintained multiple technical support areas for several now-defunct Ziff-Davis Education software products:
    • LearnPro Technical Support
    • ZDLink Technical Support
    • ActiveLearn Technical Support
    • LearnItOnline for Corporate Intranets
    (Note: All sites have since ceased service as their product lines were removed from the market or moved to different business units.)
  • Conceived and implemented online resources website for LearnPro courseware (since removed from service, along with the LearnPro courseware line).
  • Administered webserver for Software and Courseware Support, LearnPro Courseware Resources and SkillTech Seminars websites for Ziff-Davis Education.
