  2. Challenges • LMSs (Bb, WebCT, D2L, Moodle, etc.) lack tools for robust instruction • Poor handling of graphics • Uploading and display of multimedia “clunky” • Most faculty upload Word, PDF, or Powerpoint documents

  3. Visual (un-) appeal

  4. PowerPoint • Advantages • Popular with many faculty • Easy to learn & use • Disadvantages • Most are linear slide shows • Bulleted text w/o elaboration, discussion or interaction • Minimal media (usually still graphics) • No practice, feedback or assessment

  5. Faculty want the “next level” • More sophisticated strategies • Interaction • Branching • Better multimedia integration • Quick to learn • Easy to use

  6. High-end authoring tools… …have high-end learning curves!

  7. Low-end authoring systems • HyperCard • Ahead of its time • Died before realizing its potential • HyperStudio • Is all but dead • Never realized its potential

  8. One solution: Lectora • Build interactive instructional modules • Gentle learning curve • Drag & drop media integration • Familiar book, chapter & page metaphor • Professional templates

  9. One solution: Lectora • Integrates into Blackboard & WebCT Vista LMS • Test creator • Results sent to e-mail or LMS grade book • Lectora Professional Suite • Image editor, audio editor, video editor, screen capture, screen recorder
