Trying to decide whether or not to go to the Donny & Marie shows this holiday. Ticket prices are high!

Top Authoring Tools according to Learning Solutions Magazine

The top-seven tools that people reported using, in order of most use to least, are:

  1. Adobe Captivate

  2. Articulate Presenter
  3. Articulate Engage
  4. Adobe Connect

  5. TechSmith Camtasia
  6. Adobe Presenter

  7. Harbinger Raptivity

I find it quite interesting that Adobe holds THREE spots on this list and Articulate TWO spots as well. There is a very nicely done graphic comparison of features in this article as well; given the success I’ve had with the Adobe tools, it intrigues me further to get hold of the latest versions of the Articulate products and try them out again — obviously there’s been some real headway made.

Of course Camtasia is still hanging in there as an old standby, and making pretty nice enhancements along the way.

However, I’m really anxious to see all these tools take on the HTML 5 challenge the way Raptivity seems to be doing most visibly. Guess I’ll stay tuned.

Google Buying Motorola Mobility

Read further and see what you think about the prospect of Google owning the Motorola mobile hardware manufacturing practice and resources, and what that could mean for those of us who own Motorola Droid phones. It sounds like something I’m certainly looking forward to if what is stated in this article holds true about better battery life and improved performance. Thoughts?

Sparks in Google+ Social Networking Environment

Keep your team up-to-date with Sparks

Another great feature that differentiates Google+ from Facebook is Sparks. It lets users define an interest (robotics, for example), and then trawls the web looking for articles related to that interest, making it easy for users to find relevant articles to share. This could be useful in the workplace for research or keeping abreast of industry news, for example, helping users to stay up-to-date with topics of interest to them and their team, and then easily share and discuss any particularly interesting bits of information.

This is a neat idea, so I’m checking this out — especially for its usefulness in extending the classroom into the online arena.
