Amber Swope discusses how to define the role of IA and what kinds of tasks the role of an IA demands.

Amber Swope introduces the survey that DITA Strategies sent out on September of 2017: why we made it, what questions the survey asked, and what kinds of responses we gathered from 35 information architects.

Are you being asked to deliver your learning content in new ways, such as microlearning? Do your users want to have personalized training? Do you need to support multiple learning platforms? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then structuring your learning content in XML may be the right strategy for you.

Structured content is the key to managing a shared library that includes information from multiple teams across an enterprise. Organizations that invest in Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) and Component Content Management Systems (CCMS) reap the benefits of more consistent content, increased efficiency across enterprise teams, and accelerated marketing.

According to RSW's Training Content Trends Survey, most learning and training developers struggle to keep content up-to-date. In this webinar, Amber Swope discusses the issues driving obsolescence and provides strategies for keeping content current.

The DITA ecosystem has a lot of resources — but not all of them are equally useful when you're trying to implement. Amber Swope shares her curated list of the tools, documentation, and communities she actually recommends to teams getting started.

DITA Strategies President and DITA Specialist, Amber Swope, introduces the company and explains how DITA and information architecture can help you.

Not every organization needs the same level of DITA investment — but how do you know where you fall? The DITA Maturity Model by Amber Swope and Michael Priestley gives you a framework for aligning your investment in IA, technology, and process with the specific results you're trying to achieve.

Every enterprise promises to share content across teams — and most fail. Amber Swope explains the four things you have to get right before cross-department content sharing with DITA will actually work: goals, architecture, authoring standards, and storage.

In order to adapt to the new market, educational publishers must convert their content to a neutral, XML source that supports multi-channel content delivery. We recommend the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA).
