Flash-based tutorial

Flash-based quizzes, tests and surveys
Comments from those who selected Articulate as one of their Top 10 Tools in
2008
"still the easiest way to make SCORM-compliant (trackable)
eLearning courses with a beautiful interface. A bit
pricey for some (around 1k for the whole suite, which I
recommend), but worth it, for what you get."
Bonni
Stachowiak
"This is my favourite tool for rapid
design, although I would like Presenter, Engage and
Quizmaker to sit a little more comfortably together
aesthetically. It’s now working comfortably with Vista/
Office07, which is a relief.
"Along with it's big brother, Articulate
Presenter, Engage is rapidly becoming a key part of my
content development strategy. With Engage, I can quickly
produce good-looking Flash-based materials with embedded
media navigated using one of a set of pre-defined
interfaces. These interfaces include (among others) a
timeline, concentric rings, image hotspots, pyramids
with layers and FAQs.
Yes, you are limited to the interfaces available. But
they pretty much cover most situations. I use Engage
when I need to deliver something that looks good
and covers a small amount of content. As a component
part of a content strategy it's ideal."

"A great tool for
creating engaging elearning quickly and
cost-effectively. See the free rapid elearning
course created by Clive Shepherd at
60 minute masters to see what is
possible."

"Articulate Presenter
-
for online narrated slide shows" Patti Shank
"This sets the standard in rapid e-learning, now well
supported by frequent blog tutorials."
Patrick
Mayfield
"Presenter -
Great tool for
PowerPoint conversions, especially for quick turnaround
compliance course creation.
Quizmaker - Just plain
works when you pair this with Articulate Presenter.
Need standard knowledge checks in your presentation?
Works well all the time."
Ed
Lamaster
"To spice up PowerPoints
for delivery online - this is a nice tool in my arsenal
for publishing pre-existing online content. We are
keenly aware of the limitations of over-use, and try to
have these presentations as content support/reference
rather than the main thrust of my courses."
Seaghan
Moriarty
"Presenter:
I will rate this tool as the best tool for
developing rapid e-learning courses. I use this tool
to convert the PPT file to an SWF file, customize an
e-learning template of my choice, and publish the
course for LMS"

Quizmaker:
I
always use this tool for creating quizzes. It is
such a useful tool for creating innovative quizzes"Sathish
Narayanan
Engage:
I
am sure that the e-learning professionals will use
this tool extensively in years to come. Without any
help from graphic designers and multimedia
programmers, I can include compelling learning
interaction with stunning visual quality in my
e-learning courses. Amazing tool!

"For the clients I
work with, a tool like Articulate is like a gift
from heaven. Combined with Quizmaker and Engage, you
can transform PowerPoint into a pretty incredible
production tool." Jeff Cobb

Rapid e-learning
Studio/Presenter
"very easy to
create engaging elearning quickly and cost-effectively"

"Quick and easy way to
create e-learning presentations and assessments. The

nice to have a version that supports OpenOffice Impress.
One of the few proprietary software I use."

leveraged our tools)."
