RevMedia for CBT/eLearning

[Preston Shea]

Dear "Bob Earp" <rjearp at hotmail.com>

    You may get swamped with replies about using Rev for CBT/eLearning because the whole "Card" family of software has been used for this kind of programming since way back in the days of HyperCard. Has to do with simplicity of use and Apple's historic position in the education market, I suppose. 
    If you check out the links here, on the Rev website and Rev web ring you'll find dozens, possibly hundreds of active developers in the education/training area. Many of them offer free modules for quizzes etc.This sort of show-and-tell is so simple to create with x-talk that most people seem to just make their own. I'm not sure what limitations in navigation you are thinking of, but if you post a specific question here you are pretty likely to get a solution.
    There are some products that promise drag-and-drop creation of eLearning software. I used one by M****media that was nifty but time consuming. There are some quizmaker gizmos out there that have a sort of fill-in-the-blanks interface that is even more idiot-proof.  The problem is that if you want a product that is pedagogically sound and/or visually appealing, you end up having to write some sort of code instruction. There may be an easier language to pick up than Revolution, but I don't know what it is.
