Tony Karrer, winner of the 2007 Edublog Awards (best elearning / corporate education blog) — congrats, by the way, Tony! — has posted his list of 10 Predictions for 2008.
I especially like and agree with Tony’s #3 prediction for 2008: “Authoring Tools - Captivate and Articulate Will Dominate”
You know what else I like about that prediction? The fact that Tony mentioned us and Captivate in the same prediction. “But aren’t they a competitor?” you may wonder. Well sure, in some ways — though many of our customers also use Captivate movies inside their Articulate projects — but you know what’s going to make us dominate even more?
Name the company that now employs the core development team who brought you the original versions of Captivate. Here’s a hint: It’s no longer Adobe.
That’s right: Under the leadership of our CTO Arlyn Asch, a number of engineers from the original Captivate development team are now employed by Articulate — and our team is hard at work developing next-generation elearning tools that are going to change the way the world creates elearning.
Tony’s Big Question for January post in The Learning Circuits Blog has also inspired a number of other bloggers, including Clive and Jay, to write about their predictions for 2008, too.
I only have one, and I’m going to echo Tony…
- “Articulate Will Dominate.”
Along with that, I’ll also say that when we bring you the next generation of products, elearning will be easier than ever before to create. And thanks to blogs like Tom’s Rapid Elearning Blog, design will also improve.
Great looking content that’s easy to create — what a concept. I predict it’s going to be a good year for our industry.
Happy 2008, everyone!
I am all for Articulate dominating in 2008 but I want to see them dominate with products that run on my Mac!
Pretty please?
