Time and money are the resources most of us don’t have. So in today’s
post I thought I’d share some free applications that you may find handy
as you work on your elearning courses.
Find Everything
The app is called
Everything by VoidTools.
David Anderson
shared this with me after a recent workshop. It’s a simple application
that lets you quickly search your computer. I created a custom keyboard
shortcut and use it throughout the day because it really is super-fast.
I’m addicted. I just start searching stuff because I can. Sometimes I
get up in the middle of the night just to do random searches. Works
like a charm. There are other tools like this out there. If you don’t
use one,
Everything is worth trying and the price is right.
WaveShop
In a previous post I shared
some tips on recording narration and
ten free audio programs that can be used for elearning. I’ll throw
WaveShop in the mix of good free audio editors.
WaveShop is straightforward and has a lot more than basic editing
functions. So if you only need to do something simple, you’re all set.
But if you want to do more, then there are plenty of features to let
you.
K-Lite Codec Pack
This isn’t really an application as much as a great resource. When
working with multimedia you may run into issues playing audio or video
files. Often these issues can be resolved by making sure the audio and
video drivers are up to date for your computer’s hardware.
Another simple solution is to make sure you have updated audio and
video codecs. They help encode and decode the various media formats. The
K-Lite Codec Pack is a collection of all sorts of filters and codecs. Don’t confuse this pack with the
Chi-Lites where you’re limited to soulful funk but no AV codecs.
