not power point

As Ben said, if all you want is a page-turner, then you may want to consider something else. I don't know how Articulate compares to Lectora in terms of price, but if you don't intend to use the other features of Lectora, then you can get by with a cheaper software.Although, for that matter, if you just want a page-turner, I can't imagine that you need anything more than PowerPoint. In terms of value, that can't be beat, since your folks most likely already have the Office suite (I read somewhere that over 90% of companies have it; it certainly sounds true).When I got into Lectora, it was initially for page-turners. I thought that's all CBTs were. Well, with a few years of experience under my belt, I see that CBTs can be much more than that. If you want to branch out, I suggest moving from PPT. This might be Lectora, or it might be one of its competitors. Just some examples of Lectora projects that my group has been responsible for:A quiz show that displays the question and answer. It even tracks the score, though a moderator has to click the player's name to indicate who got the question. The point values show up on a Jeopardy-style board.A nonlinear page turner. Technically, it's just a page turner, but you click on a jumbled puzzle piece to see the next section. When you're done with the section, the puzzle piece is in its correct position. It is still a page turner, but the user determines the path he takes (similar to a menu).A data-entry simulator. With screen shots with form elements, we have devised a workable simulation where the user can get a feel for entering data. A png of the source data opens in another window. The system tests the user's knowledge of data entry and gives hints where necessary.A data-entry test. In addition to the point before, there is also a test that scores the accuracy of the user's data entry.With the possible exception of the nonlinear page-turner, these are some of the things that can be done in Lectora that cannot be done in PPT without some extensive VBA coding (though that could be a fun challenge). If you are a PPT and VBA wiz, then investing in another software may not be appealing to you. KevinEdited By: Kevin Elmore on 2008-9-22 9:48:36
