Book Description

Essential Articulate Studio 09 is designed to help novice to intermediate users of Articulate Studio 09 get the most from using these tools Presenter, Engage, Quizmaker, and Video Encoder to develop quality informational and instructional materials. It was written with the following goals in mind: Help new users get up to speed as quickly and painlessly as possible; Assist users of previous versions of Articulate Studio (and previous versions of Presenter, Engage, and Quizmaker) in capitalizing on improvements made to these tools in the 09 versions; Provide tips and tools that make information presentation and instruction faster, easier, and better; Help new and previous users develop information and instruction that is more valuable for the intended audience(s). This book is unique because it can serve as both a tutorial for the Studio 09 products and as a primer on designing and building good information and instruction with these tools. The advice and insights are practical and take into account the we-need-it-yesterday environments that most people who use these tools operate in. Many books about online learning discuss how to build good instruction, but this book actually shows you how to build it, using some of the best authoring tools in the industry. The authors are both instructional design practitioners with over 35 years of combined experience, working day-to-day on informational and instructional projects for business, higher education, nonprofit, government, and professional development clients. Because of their wealth of experience, they are able to provide real-world perspectives, which is especially valuable to anyone who is just starting to build information and instruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't learn Articulate without it!, October 4, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Essential Articulate Studio '09 (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
I am teaching myself Articulate Studio 09. I am a trainer and want to use it for my online training materials. The tutorials offered by the Articulate folks online are not very helpful so I needed more. I love this book. It is written by educators who know how to write to instruct. The first couple of chapters discuss curriculum development and design and give great information for those who are not familiar with some of the basic concepts of it. They also provide a good review for those of us who have some knowledge of it. Their tips are excellent as well.

This book is easy to understand and I enjoy how the authors give reasons why you should do certain things as you're learning the applications rather than just rote, step-by-step training (but they do give good step by steps too).

It's a great book, well written and the authors do a thorough and enjoyable job of explaining the how to's.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Fun How To, September 14, 2009
This review is from: Essential Articulate Studio '09 (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
Got this book based on recommendation from fellow workers. I am not sorry I got it. This is the instruction manual that should have come with the product. Well written by people who have been in the e-learning industry and know what e-learning is all about. Not just a book about using Articulate but a book about developing skills. If you have Articulate Studio 09, you should consider getting this

4.0 out of 5 stars Get this and Try the free download, January 11, 2010
This review is from: Essential Articulate Studio '09 (Wordware Applications Library) (Paperback)
I normally cringe when presented with any circa 1000 page guide to the latest and greatest software, however in using this book over a period of a month to evaluate the articulate software/presentation suite for developing computer based course material, I was agreeably surprised.
It is well written and individual sections have sufficient autonomy for you to just dip in, based on the excellent index, and work from there. If you are serious about giving this suite of programs a go, download the free 30 day trial and buy this book. It is clear and cogently written and it will be money well spent.
