setting up course for multiple developers

As yet there is no really easy way to do what you are asking. You can implement some degree parallel development in Lectora as follows.A. DIVIDEDivide your title into the desired number parts, each its own title (.awt) file. B. DEVELOPDevelop the pages as usual with these changes. 1. VariablesAdopt a naming convention for variables and make sure everyone is using them.Make sure everyone uses variables named the same for the same purpose.If you need a special variable for one part, use a prefix on it so myVar becomes prefix_myVar.2. QuestionsLectora automatically creates the names of variables used in questions. Now this is not a problem unless you have used those variables in actions - and most people do after they have been using Lectora a while. WorkaroundAdopt a prefix for the question variables in each part. As you create the questions in that part, change the question variable name from Question_0001 to prefix_0001. Then when you merge them there will be no conflict.3. External GraphicsAdopt a naming convention for external graphic file names and make sure there is no conflict between parts. If needed, again use the prefix approach so picAbc.jpg becomes prefix_picAbc.jpg.4. ShapesThis is a tough one. Whenever you use Lectora shapes (images) created using one of the shapes toolbars, Lectora will assign its own name to the graphic file. So:• Try to avoid using them• If you must, use the Resource Manager to change all the images to have a prefix. Example: shape1.wmf becomes prefix_shape.wmf. Just change find the image using the Resource Manager and where you see its file name displayed, change it as desired. The Rename button will become active. Just click it.C. MERGEWhen you go to merge the parts back together by copying and pasting chapters, sections, or pages, you will have to update any links to other parts and any special inheritance exclusions.
