Reviews
Good:
-The tool is very easy to use and gives you the possibility to create many different types of content (with text, images, embedded video or audio, quizzes, etc.).
-Once created, you can publish your content in a variety of output formats, including SCORM, web page, IMS , XLIFF etc.
-You can easily integrate the contents into any LMS, like Moodle.
-You can use standard metadata to catalogue you content (Dublin Core, LOM, LOM-ES).
Not so good:
The built-in HTML Editor (TynyMCE) is very basic. Althiugh it is supposed to be WYSIWYG, sometimes you don’t get the results you expected.
My Ubuntu Installer is installing it right now. The great thing with this program is that it is multi-platform. I dropped Windows a few years ago and try to work with open source programs which is the case here. I’ve been using courses developed with it that I find on a public Spanish repository called Agrega. I want to start creating my own Units with this tool, and embed them in my Moodle courses. The expectations are high.
