Hey Pals…

I’m looking to dive into creating some online courses and need recommendations for e-learning software. I want something that’s user-friendly, versatile, and has good features for building engaging content. It’d be great if it also supports multimedia, quizzes, and student tracking.

What are some of the best e-learning tools out there? Any tips on what to look for or avoid?

Thanks for your help…

These days, Articulate goods are the most sought after and can be found in a lot of job postings. You can turn your Powerpoint slides into Storyline slides and use the built-in tools to improve the.ppt before you package it as a SCORM. This makes the product easy to learn.

Adapt is available for free, and if you engage in their forums, you may be able to obtain Captivate at no cost. I’m not sure what level you have to reach, but you have to get there.
