I missed the first few minutes of the presentation by Tracy Parish from the Southlake Regional Health Center, but at
the end she provided a link to all the tools and more.
In my notes below I am only providing information she added
about particular apps she has tried.
Edge Studio Script Timer (Words to Time Calculator) – This
tool automatically calculates how much time it takes to speak the words,
sentence, paragraph, etc.
Zapsplat provides professional sounds/sound effects. (See
Tracy’s Audio Samples section.)
Augmented Reality
(AR):
Aurasma – When you take a picture of a poster it plays a
video.
Blippar – This is where AR meets AI (Artificial
Intelligence)
Collaboration:
Zoom.us – The free account allows up to 100 users, max 40
minutes. However, only the 1:1 sessions can be unlisted.
Color Schemes –
Where to get them and use them for IDEAS.
Encycolorpedia – Import a photo and it will tell you all
the colors.
Curation
Scoop.It is a “digital paper” that people can subscribe to
and get on a daily basis. They do not spam! (Karen: And I know this because I
have several Scoop.It papers myself.)
Design Skills
- Tracy highly recommends the Cathy Moore blog.
- She also recommends all of Connie Malamed’s (AKA the eLearning Coach) blogs and podcast interviews.
- Learning Solutions Magazine
- Training Mag
- InSync Training
- The eLearning Heroes Community
Fonts
WhatFontIs - If you see a font you like and want to know
what it’s called. But make sure to use the free version.
Images
Google is “better” at finding Creative Commons images. Or
just go straight to the source at CreativeCommons.org.
|
TIP: You can use other elements in one
photo. You don’t have to use the entire picture.
|
Photopea uses layers.
Snapseed is good on phones and tablets.
|
TRICK: Soften the edges of a picture.

Inspiration
Join the challenge with hashtag #ELH on Twitter. ELearning
Heroes hosts every Friday.
Pinterest helps you find Powerpoint template ideas.
Creative Market offers free fonts, images, templates via
email sign up.
Project Management
- Airtable allows you to change the view. But it only offers 2 weeks of searchability. It’s similar to Trello.
- Trello
- Ganttify – If you’re a Gant chart fan. Ganttify plugs into Trello.
- Harvest allows up to 4 clients and 2 active projects. They also provide billing and invoice tools.
- Asana is limited to 15 users but unlimited projects. However, Tracy finds it hard to use.
- Wrike allows 5 users. The pro (paid) version better.
Screen Capture
Don’t forget about PrintScrn on your keyboard!
(Karen says: Another good screen recording app is apowersoft.)
Slides – Use them
as a resource library.
Prezi now only has a paid version. ☹
However, Prezi Explore is still free for inspiration and ideas.
Storyboarding
- Lucidchart is limited to 50-60 objects. However, it’s good for flow chart ideas.
- Draw.io is a Google product.
- See Connie Malamed’s Resources page. (Be sure to mouse-over Resources in the navigation.)
- Stormboard allows 5 projects and 5 collaborators.
- StoryboardThat offers 2 per week with 6 cells.
- Myhistro gives you places to do storytelling. Map and record important moments and share the timelines. Privacy settings are available.
- Flipboard collects stories for you about particular topics.
- Sway is a Microsoft product but it’s free.
Surveys
- Survey Monkey (free) only allows up to 10 questions.
- Poll Everywhere lets people interact via texting.
- Mentimeter is live on the web. Tracy’s tip here to get one more question is to invite yourself. Use code 707365.
- Typeform gives you 70 questions and 100 responses per month.
Templates
Diagrammer helps you figure out what you need.
Videos
Mazwai gives you backgrounds you can use.
