Online Training Tools
Searching for software tools to create an online training course? Here is a list of tools to help you get started. I’ve used and tested most of the tools listed below.
All the tools I listed below are good. None of them are perfect.
However you can choose one that is perfect for you!
To have a better grasp which training tools suites you best as an individual, I’ve reviewed them and made several videos to explain the pros and cons. These are on my YouTube channel.
You will get confused and waste time in the process. My short course will help you to narrow down your choices.
