eLearning is all the rage now, and there are a multitude of high and
low-end products which you can use to build your own eCourses. One of the best
products to come along is RoboDemo
by eHelp.
What makes RoboDemo
different from many of its competitors is that the demos are created in Flash,
so your demos are very size-efficient.
You can either build your demos with screen captures, one
screen at a time, or you can simply record your mouse and screen activity as
you demonstrate the use of an application. RoboDemo
records it all, breaks it down into slides, and allows you to view the
slides within a slide sorter. You can then reorder the slides, embellish them
with animation and sound, and even add full interactivity.
I have to say I was quite impressed by RoboDemo's
ease of use. I was able to record myself navigating through a web site
instantly. I then highlighted portions of the screens, added textual
pull-outs, added voice-over instructions, and really had FUN using the
tool.
In comparison to other tools I have reviewed in this genre, I
prefer RoboDemo and
found it to be both flexible and powerful. I like products that are intuitive
and that do not require me to read lengthy manuals. RoboDemo
includes Flash tutorials designed with the software, so you get to see sample
demos and see how it actually works. Highly recommended and affordable. Gold
Award winner. Click here
