Comments from those who selected Flash
as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
"Not
easy to get to grips with but a great tool for creating
interactive and engaging learning. Increasingly you can
find base code for the animations you want and build a
library of reusable code to make things much faster.
Developments with xml and better accessibility means
Flash will increasingly be a tool of choice for more
many creative elearning developers." Steve Rayson
"My workhorse development tool.
What can I say – Flash rocks. I use this for prototyping
interactivity, building mock-ups for proposals and even
for creating artwork. It’s good with audio and now
video. Been using it for years and will certainly
continue to do so." Rob Hubbard
"This is the primary tool which I am using for my
final year project in college to develop an eLearning
player. It is also the primary tool used at Interactive
Services for developing eLearning courseware. It's great
in that both programmers and designers can use the one
tool to create interactive eLearning content"
Karen OBrien
"While HTML and general authoring
tools have matured enormously over the past 10 years,
many fall short in the areas of multimedia, interaction
and engagement. Here Flash is a powerful tool in areas
such as language learning, integration of user voices,
slick presentation and general engagement for online
games."

"I
love this tool because it's flexible. Yeah, it's not
easy to learn but once you learn action script, you
never want to go back to restrictive "template" type
tools. It makes interactive, non-linear eLearning cool."

one of their Top 10 Tools in 2007
"I
am a closet programmer and secretly prefer code to
words, although I'm on the wagon at the moment. I’ve had
wonderfully obsessive experiences with BASIC, Pascal,
JavaScript and more recently, Flash ActionScript. I must
stop thinking about it."
Clive Shepherd
"Once you get into a little
Actionscript, flash is a very flexible tool for anything
from animations to scenarios to learning checks."
Wendy Phillips

"I don't actually develop a thing
with Flash myself, but our designers and programmers do
some fabulous stuff with it! As an instructional
designer, I feel like I can design just about anything
and these really smart people can do something with it
in Flash."
