Lectora Inspire

Inspire really is the last word in e-learning. Now you don't need an array of expensive development tools in your toolbox, one is enough. Lectora has added Flypaper^™, Snagit^® and Camtasia^® to create the ultimate multi-tasking course creation tool. But don't just take our word for it, read what they say in Learning Solutions Magazine and the eLearning Guild report.

Create Flash animations from scratch or in a fraction of the time it usually takes using templates - without Flash expertise - in Flypaper. Turn images and screen captures into masterpieces with editing and special effects tools in Snagit. Add dynamic videos, Flash animations and 3D design software with Camtasia. Plus: complete audio recording and editing capabilities, video editing and Lectora's excellent content authoring tools. Click here to see videos of the main features of these Inspire applications.

Build e-learning courses using easy-to-master drag and drop techniques - no programming is required. Inspire can easily incorporate pretty much any form of media (text, animation, video and sound) into one seamless e-learning course. Develop your projects rapidly using easy-to-learn tools and wizards that don't require complex software knowledge, reducing your expenses and cutting time. It now also incorporates HTML5 media support for mobile devices. Click the play button below to see a short video demonstration:
