Jane Hart has asked people involved in elearning to identify their top 10 tools. She’s using the feedback to build an impressive list of recommended tools. Here are some of my favorites, with an emphasis on development tools:
 |
Great for presentations but also creates interactive Flash files. An overlooked elearning development tool for the Mac. |
 |
Powerful open-source wiki aimed at the corporate market. Makes it easy to incorporate media. |
 |
Small, one-person wiki I use to track clients, projects, and ideas. See a sample on my resources page. |
 |
Lets you create comics from stock photos and other images (for the Mac; Windows version in beta) |
 |
A simplified version of Photoshop. It still has a steep learning curve, but at least the options aren’t quite so overwhelming. |
 |
Powerful screen capture and annotation for Windows |
 |
Free, straightforward HTML editor for the Mac |
 |
Makes it easy to produce basic Flash interactives in Windows |
 Email subscription  |
Lets people read blogs as emails rather than through a feed aggregator. Set up by the blog publisher. |
