Screen Capture Software
For this module, I decided to use Articulate Storyline for our Instructional Learning Module screen capture. I have previously worked with Articulate software products and feel comfortable using this program, although I am having to learn it over because I knew an older version. Below is a comparative SWOT analysis between Storyline and Adobe Captivate.
Storyline
Strengths - Intuitive, user friendly and simplified buttons and menus, visual cues and instructional videos. Weaknesses - Expensive and not as robust as other programs Opportunities - It is an excellent program to use for instructional designers because it is very well organized visually Threats - Not versatile enough for more complex projects |
Captivate
Strengths - It is a robust program that produces rich learning content Weaknesses - Complex, takes a long time to learn Opportunities - Provides a wide range of options and possibilities Threats - Adobe software changes means constant learning and updating skills, where other programs are more stable in how they are designed |
