eLearning development software tools
Recommended eLearning development tools
I really like the following tools and will soon blog about what specifically I like about each of these…
- RapidIntake.com’s ProForm and Unison: Great for quickly creating Flash-based SCORM-conformant eLearning.
- Adobe’s Captivate: Great for creating computer simulation training and exporting content as Flash-based SCORM conformant eLearning.
- Articulate.com’s products: This company makes it easy to create simple eLearning rapidly. I recommend that clients use a tool like Articulate to organize their content into a rough prototype that we can then take to a higher level using Flash and ProForm.
- Camtasia: Great for rapid eLearning production. This tool can produce larger, less optimized files, which is one downside. Otherwise, this is a great tool to add to your eLearning toolkit.
Whatever courseware authoring tool you choose, it is strongly recommended that you author courses in an environment outside of your Learning Management System whenever possible. This ensures that your content is portable to different delivery methods or LMS systems and makes it easier to migrate from one LMS to another should you ever wish to do so.
NOTE: If you are a provider of an eLearning software development tool that you would like evaluated and posted to this blog, simply contact me.
