Mr. Kenneth Hess
Captivate and Presenter newer variants
i.e. Adobe Suite
PROS CONS
Is a bundled program allowing user the same interface.
Flash Programmer for advanced features
Cost
Presenter very basic skills
Captivate can do branching
Mr. Kenneth Hess
DAZZLERMAXPROS CONS
Ease of use Developed to create standalone training for CD-ROMs or your hard-drive.
The product is too expensive for part-time/one-time users who would benefit from its ease-of-use.
Documentation poor i.e. does not explain how to publish to the web.
The icons—small graphics representing tools and functions—are primitive and low resolution.
Mr. Kenneth Hess
Adobe ConnectPROS CONS
Ease of use. Cost structure for online piece based on seats.
Ability to convert content to SCORM.
Publish to CD or LMS.
Supported by DISA
Free through DISA
Cannot integrate with LMS unless your purchase server license
Mr. Kenneth Hess
LECTORAPROS CONS
The program refers to chapters, sections, pages and toolbars. There are multiple ways of accomplishing a task.
Cost per license.
Allows import or use of multiple file types.
A novice developer wouldn’t really have enough information to get started with them without additional help.
Imbeds proprietary code that cannot be modified.
Mr. Kenneth Hess
TOOLBOOKPROS CONS
Uses a central Object Catalog- allows you to develop interactive pages very quickly.
Primary use is developing CBT not WBT.
Possible use for developing simulations.
ToolBook uses a book page metaphor for organizing content.
ToolBook is not a good choice as a primary WBT authoring tool because of its cost and the problems the user will experience in order to publish the training on the Internet.
