Tool Time: New Grids Help You Pick the Right Software

Online & Distance Learning Tool Grids

If you’ve ever found yourself wondering which tool to use for media capture or content development in your online course, you’re not alone. That’s why UK Online has created a new set of tool grids designed to make that process easier.

These grids help instructors quickly compare software options based on specific needs, making it simpler to identify the best tool for the job. Each one includes a Notes column with a few more helpful details, so be sure to take a look before making your selection.

Our Online and Distance Learning Teaching Tool Comparison lists several tools that are useful to explore when you are in the planning phase for your online course. The Online and Distance Learning Video Tool Comparison lists resources to support the creation of engaging media content for your online course. 

For example:

• If you’re interested in enhancing the design of your online course, check out Design Plus. 
• Ally can help you create accessible content for your course. 
• With Yuja you can record your screen, record yourself with your webcam, or create in-video quizzes. 

And if you have questions or ideas for improving those resources, the UK Online team would love to hear from you at elearning@uky.edu.
