Congratulations to this week’s Friday Fan, Amy Gerrard, for her outstanding praise on LinkedIn. Thank you, Amy, for trying out Snap! by Lectora Version 1.1 and the positive feedback!
“I have recently bought the product as for the money, it's an excellent value. I have used Articulate for many years and I find Snap very good. In all, I like it. It’s a good start for people who want to make the transition from classroom to online learning. Lectora have perhaps made a precedent here concerning the price. Maybe Articulate will answer with a product of their own as I feel Snap will take a lot of customers away from Articulate Standard. My verdict on “Snap by Lectora!” is 'Excellent' and a must for all those whom need to enter the online learning sector at a lower price level.Applications like Snap 'extend' the ability of PowerPoint and allows integration with Flash, FLV video, YouTube and also integrate a web site article if I so wish. So you do have a multitude of reasons to move away from simply using Powerpoint and the features above, alone, would make a good case to follow that route towards more effectual, e-Learning course development.”
