Creating Rich Digital Publications with InDesign CS5.5 is a one day course aimed at existing InDesign users. The course is designed to teach you how to produce dynamic electronic publications (n.b: not epubs) using the new features offered by InDesign CS5.5 and the Digital Publishing Suite.

If you are looking to produce more traditional epubs in line with the epubs standard then take a look at our Creating epubs with InDesign course.  If you are unsure about the type of publications you are looking to produce then take a look at our recent blog post on the different types of electronic publications.
