Free eLearning?
Looking at data from the eLearning Guild that I mentioned previously along with these slides, it has dawned on me that we can do some really great elearning things virtually at no cost.
In fact, free tools are a huge part of my day, everyday. My list includes Audacity, CamStudio, GIMP, Windows Live Writer w/WordPress, Delicious, Firefox and several of the Google services. Add to this list the great SnagIt & Camtasis deals from Techsmith and you’ve got a great start. Although I haven’t gotten a chance to try them yet, I’ve recently seen some interesting free options for authoring elearning also.
What free tools do you use?

VectorMagic | Web-based image tool
VectorMagic might be a pretty handy tool to add to your bag of tricks. I know there have been times when I’ve wished I could enlarge a non-vector image but couldn’t without it becoming so pixelated it was no longer useful. If you don’t know why a vector image is different; they can be enlarged without the distortion that occurs with standard .jpg and .gif formats.
If their claims are true then this could be very helpful. What do you think?
