And here’s what I got:
Adobe, I heart you.
Gotta admit, this made my eyebrows shoot up when it popped up in my email:
Raptivity is now offering 6 interactions that publish to HTML5.
A review is forthcoming… perhaps…
Trivantis has started an elearning podcast series (though I should probably say vodcast, as they’re video). Anyway, most of the entries so far are screencasts with Lectora tips for beginning to intermediate users. I like the fact that they’re using real Lectora users (including a couple that I know!) rather than hiring a media company to (over)produce them, and the screencasts are tightly focused enough for even my impatience with instructional video.
I got an error message when trying to access these from my iPhone, but they’re worth a look from your desktop!
If you haven’t seen it in action yet:
I always feel like the Joker whenever Google announces something new… Where do they get those wonderful toys?? But I then I remember they’re mostly free for me to use, for good or evil, as I see fit.
In the case of Sidewiki, I could see using this to enhance a company’s intranet/process documentation. I know of a couple departments that are considering moving to a wiki, replacing RoboHelp or another EPSS. Sidewiki would eliminate the need to rebuild the system… but I’m thinking it’s not going to work on some/most intranets, due to either technical or formal limitations.
Did any other uses of this app spring to mind when you saw it?
You have to download and install it before the offer expires, but according to my reading, you will then have a fully-functioning copy of this software. Here are the limitations, from the enclosed README:
1) No free technical support
2) No free upgrades to future versions
3) Strictly non-commercial usage
