Trainers Guide to Authoring Tools
Looking for straight, unbiased evaluations of authoring tools for training? The 154-page Trainers Guide to Authoring Tools 2011 provides detailed practitioner reviews of 44 leading authoring tools.

Why is this report different from other reports and awards contest recommendations?

  • Every reviewer is a qualified training professional.
  • No reviewer has a financial relationship with authoring tool vendors.
  • Every review is based on actual use of the tool.
  • Every report is sold at an affordable price.

NEW EDITION: TRAINERS GUIDE TO AUTHORING TOOLS 2011!

Why are these facts important?

  • TMR reviewers are focused on end results, not software bells and whistles.
  • Many organizations offering product recommendations also consult for product vendors.
  • Reviewers or judges for other organizations often depend on vendor marketing presentations and materials for their evaluations.
  • Most training technology reports are ridiculously expensive.

Cover of authoring tools reportWhat's in the report?
The Training Media Review Trainers Guide to Authoring Tools 2011 includes detailed, hands-on reviews of 44 popular authoring tools--and a few you may not have heard of.

The report covers not only well-known tools such as Articulate, Captivate, Camtasia, Elicitus, Flash, Outstart, Raptivity,  and Toolbook but also less well known applications such as Mediasite, Gameshow Pro, myUDUTU, and Youpublisher.

Each review provides an in-depth description and evaluation of the product's major functions and a rating from one to four stars. A one-page summary lists tools from best to worst and their costs.

Vendors did not pay fees to have their products evaluated or subsidize the reviews in any way. The evaluations are based on full versions of the applications, not demos or marketing presentations.

The introduction by Patti Shank, a well-known expert on authoring tools, lays out how to choose the best tool.

What does the report cost?
Priced at less than $50, Trainers Guide to Authoring Tools 2011 is much more affordable than other reports on content creation software.

What if a new report comes out right after I buy the current one?
