Trying to decide

 When I was looking for a program such as Lectora about 4 years ago I called several companies and described what I wanted to do. THey were the competition and they recommended Lectora. My needs have now grown and I still find Lectora (and CourseMill) work just great. I am not familiar with Articulate but look at you needs and then decide. I cannot see a boss alowing the purchase of 2 programs in these economic times. Lectora comes with a very good instruction manual and the tech support is wonderful if you don't know how to do something. I am not the greatest computer whiz but Lectora was not that difficult to learn. THere are also week long training courses in Floridia (and San Diego?) and I'm sure online courses as well. They are not too spendy and will teach you most of what you need in a very short time.

If you need an LMS such as CourseMill Lectora works well with it. I don't know if your other program will. CourseMIll does NOT come with an instruction manual, just a few pages of technical jargon. For $500 they will give you 4 hours of instruction.

Hope this helps

If you're familiar with Lectora, you know that it has a lot of cool capabilities, some of which are not possible in Articulate, though perhaps that should be followed by the word "yet." It seems to me that Articulate has a much shorter learning curve and is still more appropriate for certain kinds of presentations and trainings, perhaps even self-paced "train the trainer" presentations. How might I just the purchase of both to my boss or should I bother to get both?
