CourseLab is a pretty robust authoring tool when it comes to creating learning content. The free version provides you with an authoring tool with a lot of bells and whistles. In fact, you can create entire course modules using this tool all by itself.
The catch comes if you have content created in say PowerPoint, you will need to spend additional money to allow for the ability to import PowerPoint into CourseLab. The cost, in comparison to some other authoring tools, is relatively minimal. You can get the PowerPoint add-on license for $99.
In addition to the PowerPoint add-on, there is also a screen capture license that can be added for $99. WebSoft Ltd., the developers of CourseLab, also provide additional templates for a mere $9.
In conclusion, the standalone product is worth checking out. It is hard to beat free. If the product is found to be useful, the additional investment for the add-ons appears to make sense.
Educational Technology for Faculty and Academic IT professionals!
