While the business was different for my clients, one thing remained the same: Microsoft Office Suite. I know, some of you are cringing, but I’m a believer … or maybe brainwashed… either way, in my opinion, Microsoft has the best software suite of business oriented applications.

For years they have been battling with Adobe Captivate as the “go-to” rapid elearning creation software.

Somewhat unusual among software these days, Articulate opted to wait four years before their next version. Just as before, it integrates right into Microsoft PowerPoint, but now it doesn’t seem so out of place with the latest PowerPoint version. Compliments of Articulate.com.

IT training can encompass many things, from sales systems to help desk software, even on basic day-to-day applications (i.e. Microsoft Office). I know this to be true as I have seen it first hand when working on consulting projects. But why spend on IT training in the first place?

I can recall a project where we were tasked with creating an elearning program for a new software system. Even though modern elearning development has its roots in Microsoft PowerPoint , converting these presentations and calling them elearning is a flat-out terrible idea.
