N. B.Venkateswarlu's Top 10 Tools as at
3 February 2008
Linux: I found it is the best suitable
for education as its sources are available.
Especially, for Computer Science/IT interns
this is very useful as they can experiment
what they have learned in the courses and
acquire real system SW orientation.
Audacity: I found it is very useful for sound
editing. It supports variety of features for
audio editing at no cost.
Wink: I was amazed with the incredible facilities available in Wink for creating dynamic
lectures. However, the audio interface has to
be made little more attractive.
Moodle: I was amazed with the features of the
moodle for E-Learning. I feel it can solve total
requirements of an online Institute. Course
management, user management, quiz managements
etc., are really very nicely designed.
eXe: An excellent tool for authoring online
lessons. I was amazed with the freedom to
include multimedia contents with eXe. Without
having any exposure to web related languages,
users can created their course material.
TurboDemo: This product is very useful to
design Multimedia based lessons. Ability to
include variety of shapes into the page is most
interesting. In addition, its ability to export
the lectures in variety of forms such as WMI,
SWF, java applet, PDF, etc., is really useful.
MadCap Capture: This is another product which
has extensive features to edit captured images.
Zooming, annotating, boxing, etc., are really
vary useful while designing lecture pages.
NVu: This I found to be a master piece to
design web pages without having any knowledge of
HTML, XML, etc., Also, ability to upload the
designed page is another attraction.
Flipz
IV Flash: This is really amazing tool
to add some more bliss to our sites
by introducing Virtual Employees to our site.
Also, site can be made as voice enabled.
WinMorph: An amazing tool to apply morphing
operations on objects. With this tool, we can
make lectures more attractive,
especially lectures aimed at School Children.
