Based on an understanding of learning object authoring tools, locate five tools–three tools that are free to use and two that are fee/subscription based (note that some web 2.0 tools may also serve as object-authoring tools). Post findings to your blog, as well as an explanation as to how these tools might be used.
Free:
1. http://www.courselab.com/view_doc.html?mode=home - This one is great for creating simulations. Though pretty basic, it enables the user to create simplistic animations with easy editing tools.
2. https://www.easygenerator.com/ - This can be used to design online educational courses. Seems user friendly and a step-up from powerpoints. Allows for collaborate but doesn't have all the additional thrills that the paid for sites do.
3. http://www.authoronpodium.com/podium/ - This offers a listing of collaboration software and analytics software that could be used in the business setting.
Subscription:
1. http://www.quicklessons.com/ - Quick Lessons bases its benefits on speed, creativity, and collaboration. One thing that I think it pretty cool is being to design your own character; almost like an avatar to interact with users rather than just hearing my voice play.
2. http://www.softchalk.com/ - I have experience with SoftChalk through GaVS . A couple of years ago I was granted the opportunity to re-develop the AP Psychology course. I also had the opportunity to do copyright checks in other GaVS courses by going in and using SoftChalk packages. I felt it was user friendly and allowed for many user interactive activities to be added, like matching and vocabulary reviews.
