Captivate




…Adobe Captivate (formerly RoboDemo) is an electronic learning tool for Microsoft Windows which can be
used to author software demonstrations, software simulations, branched scenarios, and randomized quizzes in
.swf format. It can also convert Adobe Captivate generated .swf to .avi which can be uploaded to video hosting
websites. For software simulations, Captivate can use left mouse clicks, key presses and rollover images.

It can also be used for screencasts, podcasts, and the conversion of Microsoft PowerPoint presentations to the
Adobe Flash format.
Camtasia




•   …Camtasia Studio is a screen video capture program for Microsoft Windows. It is published by TechSmith. The user defines
    the area of the screen or the window that is to be captured before recording begins; it is also possible to capture the entire
    screen area. You can also talk, and use a videocam.
Articulate
Lectora




•   …Lectora is an Electronic learning (elearning) development tool, also known as authoring software, developed by Trivantis Corporation.
    Lectora is used to create online training courses, assessments, and presentations. It is also used for the conversion of Microsoft
    PowerPoint presentations into elearning content.
