Dreamweaver:
I've used this since version 1 and it only gets better.
Once you have designed a CSS
driven template,
it's a breeze to
manage your
elearning content
with integrated
workflow between
Fireworks and Flash.
-
Flash: Once
you get into a little Actionscript, flash is a very flexible tool
for anything from animations to scenarios to
learning checks.
-
Fireworks:
Has come a long way from its early days when vector and
bitmap editing was quite separate and confusing. Now
it's all seamless and it's certainly an ideal tool for
web work
-
Captivate:
Excellent for system simulations and scenario
interactions. Also great for animated activities if you
don't have Flash, although it's heavy on file size.
-
Articulate
Quizmaker: Very flexible quiz tool. Although I
have Articulate I don't use it that often. I do however
use its Quizmaker and Engage tools and insert them into
Dreamweaver pages.
-
Articulate
Engage: Nice animated interactions make it easy to
create an information-rich item all in one small swf file for
insertion in Dreamweaver, or any other tool that
will import a swf.
-
iStockphoto: iStockphoto, Microsoft online
clipart gallery and Stock xpert: The
first is an amazing resource of quality digital
photos and illustrations which can be purchased for
$1US - I use it all the time. The latter 2 are free
to use and again, great quality photos available.
