This module is the fifth in the series covering the second stage of the authoring process in Virtual WorkLink Create. As a quick recap, the four stages are Project Planning, Content Preparation (the current stage), Authoring, and Publishing and Distribution.

1. Introduction to Content Preparation:

   • Content Preparation is the second stage after completing the Project Planning phase.
   • It involves translating the project plan into the actual content used for the AR instruction.

2. Content Preparation Structure:

   • The module is divided into two sections. The first section is a conceptual lesson covering the background of CAD (Computer-Aided Design) and its authoring process.
   • The second section, in the next module, will provide practical steps for content preparation.

3. Optimization and Author Readiness:

   • Content optimization is a critical aspect of preparing content for AR.
   • Optimization ensures that the content is suitable for the authoring process and aligns with the goals outlined in the project plan.

4. Background on CAD:

   • Background information on how CAD is authored and created will be explored.
   • Understanding the intricacies of CAD is essential for effective content preparation.

5. Upcoming Module: Practical Steps:

   • The next module will delve into the practical aspects of content preparation.
   • It will provide step-by-step guidance on how to prepare content for AR instructions.

6. Encompassing Various Aspects:

   • Content preparation involves various elements, including CAD optimization, ensuring author readiness, and addressing miscellaneous tasks before commencing the authoring process.

This module serves as a foundational step in the content preparation phase, paving the way for hands-on guidance in the subsequent module.
