Let’s Get Ready to Rumble! - Instructional Design CoP - Professional Capability Application

Our Speaker(s): Diane Elkins

This event aligns with the Personal and Professional Application of ATD's Talent Development Capability Model.

Let’s Get Ready to Rumble! With today’s eLearning tools, the battle for supremacy is on.

Coke vs. Pepsi.  Apple vs. Android.  Storyline vs. Captivate.  These are some of the great rivalries of our time. Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, TechSmith Camtasia, and Adobe Captivate are the top four tools in last year’s Learning Guild Authoring Tools report. With more and more companies moving their content online, the competition for domination in the e-learning software market has intensified. Devoted Storyline supporters declare victory, wearing the champion belt and urging the masses to follow. Captivate loyalists claim that other products aren’t as robust. Rise users love the simplicity, while others find it limiting. Camtasia often flies under the radar, but consistently earns a top spot in each report.

So, what’s the best tool out there? Well, if you want a simple, definitive answer, then DON’T come to this session. All perspectives are correct—or incorrect—depending on the most significant factors in YOUR specific organization or design endeavor. Instead, come to this session if you want to learn about these tools’ strengths and weaknesses so you can make the choice that’s right for you.

• What factors are most important when selecting a tool?
• How do you make an informed decision if you are just getting started?
• Do you really need all of these tools, or can you get by with just one?
• What other factors should you consider before buying?

This is a great opportunity to learn from one of the industry's most knowledgeable professionals. Knowing which tool to use will help you build courses you’re proud of.
