Should be able to import/export content (like PPT, DOC, or simple HTML), and allow for edits after import. One more feature which is not required in most cases but would be much of help to advanced authors – is some way to extend/customize tool functionality through programming.

With Articulate, you can create interactivity to a presentation by adding slide layers, drag-and-drop interactions, quizzing, screen recording, and software simulation. The Adobe Captivate software helps you create a wide range of interactive eLearning and HTML content. Audacity is a free, open-source, cross-platform software for recording and editing sounds. Find a great selection of free PPT templates that are guaranteed to work with your PowerPoint application. MORE

With hundreds of e-learning development software available in today’s marketplace, choosing the right one which fully meets your training needs can be a major challenge. Each type and tool differs in its support to various delivery platforms, file formats, customization of components, and your custom development process. What is the most translation-friendly rapid authoring software? Which authoring is ideal to develop a simulation based e-learning course? MORE

It works within PowerPoint so that any one who knows PPT can quickly come up to speed to create a nice looking presentation. It is good for creating more advanced courses that require more customization than Articulate. I will be doing a lot of technology training courses so software simulations are very important. Captivate does a very good job of creating software simulations. Articulate and Lectora do not do simulations. Learning Developments. MORE

Articulate 360, the brand new software from the developers of Storyline, is creating ripples in the world of online training. Studio 360 – a tool to rapidly convert PPT files into online courses. Replay 360 – an application that can be used to develop software simulations. Rise – a responsive e-learning development software. The library also has several e-learning course templates that can be fully customized to meet your needs. MORE

To focus more on rapidly authored eLearning content, I am excluding the screen recording tools which are mainly used for software simulation type of courses. Many template-driven tools provide facility to include custom developed content in the course mix. Articulate community does provide some readymade PPT templates which you can use and save time on design and layout. MORE

Rapid eLearning Tools Satisfaction from the eLearningGuild Research reported Feb 2007 - Course Authoring and Rapid eLearning Tool Satisfaction See also Software Simulation Tools. Of course, they were more looking at PPT conversion tools. As far as Atlantic Link, I believe that the eLearningGuild survey treated them as a Software Simulation Tool and that's part of the reason they didn't appear when I created the graphic above (2007).

Many peers have asked me in the past to publish a book about Quizzes (could easily fill a book if it included custom questions). You can use the On Enter event of a question slide to trigger a custom action, but not the On Exit event. Styling of those slides is limited at this moment, cannot be based on a custom theme. Blank master slide is always required (for PPT import an software simulations), 4 question master slides and one score master slide. MORE

Studio 360 – A tool to rapidly convert PPT files into online courses. Replay 360 – An application that can be used to develop software simulations. Rise – A responsive e-learning development software. For instance, you can use the Articulate application to create an online sales simulation where a customer reaction is determined by the rep’s response to an objection. Welcome to the second post of the fourteen blog series, What’s Hot with Articulate 360? MORE

I start every project, even a small one, by customizing an existing theme or creating a theme (based on the Blank theme). Such a custom theme will save a lot of time later on, if small design changes have to be done. You’ll get the step-by-step work flow to add a 10% Fluid Box at the bottom of two master slides (Title and Custom master slide), and have two child fluid boxes in that first FB. Intro. MORE

Click the Customize button: the 10 colors will appear in a dialog box. Have a look at this screenshot, where I show the Master Slide panel in front of the Main Master slide: The name of the main master slide is indeed the name of the Theme (it is a custom theme based on WindSwept). There is NO global project background, the used background is ‘Custom’, and that means that you can have a solid color, a gradient, or a custom image/texture. MORE
