Top 10 Tools

My top 10 learning tools:

  1. Articulate - Rapid, easy to use e-learning software I use frequently to convert Power Point presentation into SCORM packages.
  2. Moodle - Open sourceware LMS that is simple to work with and store our elearning content for hundreds of employees.
  3. Power Point - Simple tool that most everyone has access or experience with making it easy to create and share presentations/slide notes. Also great for editing pictures.
  4. Audacity - Audio editor that I can use to easily edit and convert files into WAV or MP3 format for elearning courses.
  5. Format Factory - User-friendly video file conversion tool where I can take video files and shrink them into a flash format.
  6. Share Point - Use as company intranet site where all employees are automatically logged in making it easy to access and communicate with employees.
  7. Twitter - Wonderful tool to stay current on new topics, software, or articles related to the learning profession.
  8. Dim Dim - Free web conferencing service that I like to use as an alternative for meetings when some cannot make the meeting face to face.
  9. Screencast - Free and professional-looking video-streaming site I like to use to share videos with employees by embedding code into pages on our intranet. I like that there are no ad banners or links to other videos on my video.
  10. Wetpaint- Website tool that is easy to use and accessible by all on the internet that I can make private for certain audiences.
