Some handy tools

Posted in Tools by Cathy Moore on 4 August 2007

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:

Keynote logo Great for presentations but also creates interactive Flash files. An overlooked elearning development tool for the Mac.
TWiki logo Powerful open-source wiki aimed at the corporate market. Makes it easy to incorporate media.
Tiddlywiki logo Small, one-person wiki I use to track clients, projects, and ideas. See a sample on my resources page.
Comic Life logo Lets you create comics from stock photos and other images (for the Mac; Windows version in beta)
Photoshop logo A simplified version of Photoshop. It still has a steep learning curve, but at least the options aren’t quite so overwhelming.
SnagIt logo Powerful screen capture and annotation for Windows
Taco logo Free, straightforward HTML editor for the Mac
Engage logo Makes it easy to produce basic Flash interactives in Windows
Feedburner logo
Email subscription
spacer		 Lets people read blogs as emails rather than through a feed aggregator. Set up by the blog publisher.
WordPress logo
WordPress		 Open-source blogging software. I created previous blogs in TypePad. WordPress needed a lot more setup time, but it gives me more control over layout and features, and it’s free.
