Flowgram
Probably one of the best finds, for eLearning, that I've made in the last four years...
Let's start by looking at the flowgram I've produced for this Tools-4-All, go to http://www.flowgram.com/fg/tgsj6ifza9ic5f/.
Learners can, by using Flowgram, create interactive guided presentations by combining web pages, photographs, PowerPoint and more with audio, notes and highlights; if used for (e)Portfolio evidence, assessors and verifiers can control the 'pages', scroll, click on links, view videos and even more...
Practitioners/Learning Providers can, by using Flowgram, easily and quickly create interactive training materials e.g.
- Guided Learning - walk learners through web pages, photographs, PowerPoint etc. using narration and annotations;
- Tie together any digital content - combine disparate web pages, videos, maps, docs and more into a single flowgram
- Share the end product - with anyone online and offline; sharing a flowgram is as easy as sharing a link. Email it, embed it, export to a down loadable video or share into YouTube.
I've not had time to explore the potential of this software fully but would be surprised if, once brought to their attention, any practitioner or learner couldn't find a use for it.
The best way to find out about how easy it is to use, is to use it; so go on, have a go!
