E-Learning Uncovered: Lectora Version 9

I get asked fairly often whether there is a “book or something” on Lectora, particularly from people just starting out with the software. And until now, the pickings have been slim.

Thankfully, Diane Elkins and Desirée Ward, two very talented instructional designers*, have recently released E-Learning Uncovered: Lectora Version 9 (also on Amazon).

The book does an excellent job of teaching the software and the underlying concepts, such as inheritance, SCORM and AICC publishing, and how and when to use variables. It includes useful references, such as a guide the elements in the new Flash Media Library (with further examples on their website). And this is all in less than 250 pages.

The book is ideal for beginner to intermediate users, but power users could pick up some good tips, too. Download a free chapter and check out more resources on their website.

* Full disclosure: I’ve worked with them in the past and most likely will again in the future.
