Bring Your Own PDF Online

Location: Virtual
 
Have you learned the basics of PDF remediation but still struggle with remediation? Bring a PDF of your choosing to our 'Bring Your Own PDF' Remediation Workshop. This workshop brings learners together, guided by a remediation expert, to work on more complex issues that were not covered under the PDF Basics workshop. Solve complex issues, gain confidence in training others, or simply come to hear PDF remediation explained by your peers. The PDF remediation expert will moderate to provide corrections, further explanations, or direct feedback via screensharing. Please email your PDF to us beforehand if you would like to be eligible for direct feedback, as the remediation expert will need access to your document.
 
Learning Objectives:
Participants will be able to:

  • Learn by teaching–suggesting solutions to other participants and receiving their advice in turn.

  • Gain tailored insight that will help with future documents.

  • Receive a fully remediated PDF of your choosing (within time constraints).

Presenter:
