Eduslide Pro is among the many various software and web-based applications that are available under the Web 2.0 Tools. This particular application allows you to create interactive applications such as surveys, exams, tutorial applications, exams, progress reports, and online community forums. Being able to experiment using their 30-day free trial, I was able to create a chat room community where I may share online presentation using PowerPoint or Keynote presentation software.
Combined with the email capabilities, I have found that I am able to share video and audio files and assemble them as an online interactive library.
This application has many great uses that I discovered. As students wish to be home-schooled, this Web 2.0 tool would allow an instructor to provide private online courses to particular students. A progress report can be issued along with report cards grades to the student to view and share.
The draw back is that if you are not familiar with software developing or has the time create a product; Virtual Training Corp can support you. Virtual training Corp is the developer of EduSlide Pro. They will provide you 160 hours of provided support with the $5000 per year price tag on this application. The Virginia based company provides remote access from anywhere around the world. With this freedom, you can provide educational services to unlimited users as long as the bandwidth does not exceed 10GB of hosting space. To increase your capacity, there is an additional charge of $500 for every 100 GB of additional space.
Please consider that developing an online application will take some time.Another possibility of an application to be used - GoogleSites. You would have to create your components from scratch, but it does provide free access to development and user access.
You have the ability to produce instant home pages using pre-built templates. Having the ability to use your own imagination is available along with more freedom than EduSlide Pro.
With Google site, your interactive features are very limited compared to EduSlide Pro. While you have the ability to produce an actual product and restrict rights to it, Google Site can offer a base where you can share information via the Internet free.
