Comments from those who selected it as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008
- “Adobe pdf documents have become the format of choice where both document security & collaboration is required. Great for large complex documents and easily accommodates embedded hypertext, video & audio. Commercial software from Adobe, not cheap but worth it!” Jack Chapman
- “for creating rich media learning materials that can be uploaded into the institutional VLE or any other learning space. It is an excellent way to put links into documents and to embed audio and video files. I use this to deliver learning materials to students online, thus freeing up time for application classes, where the recently acquired knowledge is used on realistic, work-based scenarios, which students work on in groups and present in class. This method of problem-based learning was not developed by myself, but pioneered within by lecturers within my institution. “ Nicole Cargill-Kipar
