"Lectora continues to lead in the authoring category with world-class product innovation, incorporating the most progressive eLearning technologies. We are excited to put this powerful authoring tool--now with richer content and capabilities for mobile learners--into the hands of content creators."
Other notable enhancements improve the appearance and performance of video incorporated into training courses developed in Lectora. These include: an enhanced media open dialog box for previewing of audio or video before adding to a title; streaming YouTube videos directly in Lectora titles; skinnable Flash player; and, browser-based AJAX windows for enhanced visual experience with pop-ups. Other features include: note reports that provide quick, printable references for improved content management; enhanced "move to" and "size to" actions give users the ability to animate objects within Lectora; enhanced edit mode navigation; new object search function; and, an enhanced custom color palette.
"Lectora gives eLearning developers a jumpstart. Rather than relying solely on text and images--or custom development--eLearning content creators can leverage these features to create visually impactful training with more resources for Flash, games, charts and outstanding video," said Bray. "Publishing to iPhone and iPod Touch are the first planned additions to Lectora which address the emerging mobile learning market."
