Nowadays, many predictions come forth from every industry. 9 E-
Commerce Predictions for 2009 (http://blog.shop.org/2009/01/05/nine-e-
commerce-predictions-for-2009/), 10 tech predictions for 2009(http://
venturebeat.com/2008/12/31/ten-tech-predictions-for-2009/), eLearning
predictions for 2009 (http://blog.learnlets.com/?p=641) and so on.
Though we know none of us can see into the future, we cannot deny that
these predictions play significant roles in guidance for our future
work. Below I list some eLearning tools I gather up for 2009, hope
these could give you some help in your future teaching and learning. I
will classify these tools into 6 different types.
Presentation Tools
Zoho Show (http://www.zoho.com) is an online presentation program
allows users to create presentations from scratch or (as is often the
case) import from their library of Microsoft PowerPoint (.ppt, .pps)
or OpenOffice (.odp, .sxi) presentations. The resulting online
presentation can be shared, played as slideshow, collaborated upon,
and be embedded in blogs or websites.
280 Slides (http://www.280slides.com) is a notable online replacement
for desktop presentation apps. It's fast, functional and very visual.
With it, you can create a presentation, theme it, add graphics and
video, and then present it, share it via Slideshare, or download it as
a PowerPoint or PDF file.
PowerPoint (http://office.microsoft.com/powerpoint) is a versatile
presentation tool. It is ideal for creating professional presentations
that integrate text, charts, diagrams and clip art images.

to-flash-pro.html#110 ) lets non-technical users create high-impact
Flash presentations and eLearning courses from PowerPoint with rich

Articulate Presenter creates SCORM and AICC-compliant content so
learner results can be tracked.
