Lodel users training
OpenEdition provides free training sessions on Lodel for the editorial teams of journals and books. Lodel is the digital publishing software used by the OpenEdition Journals and OpenEdition Books platforms.
The prerequisites for these courses can be consulted here.
► This year, the gradual transition to the new version of Lodel requires us to adapt our schedule as the new software is rolled out.
The schedule of sessions for the new version (Lodel 2) will be available from autumn 2023 and will initially be exclusively for users of the Openedition Books platform.
For Lodel 1, we will continue to provide face-to-face and distance learning sessions. These sessions are mainly intended for journals that are members of the Openedition Journals platform.
Objective of the training
The aim of the sessions is to provide journal and book copy-editors and editorial teams using OpenEdition platforms with the skills and confidence to publish their publications with Lodel.
Please note that these training sessions are intended for users of Lodel and not for website developers. The installation of the software and the development of web templates are not covered. Furthermore, for each session, trainees must be equipped with a computer on which the Word software is installed.
The training program
- Presentation of the Lodel software: principles, editorial objects and functioning mode
- Presentation of the software interface
- Creation and publication of documents
- Learning document styles in word processing software with a view of importing them into Lodel
- Style hints and tips. Orphan Notes software. Advanced functions: management of users’ indexes, annexes, images and multimedia documents.
