However, I am also wary of how quickly new technology is deemed the "best thing ever", particularly when it comes to training programs.

I have some legacy Flash projects that are up for revamp, it has simple interactive quiz type questions. If you were in my position, would you switch to HTML5? Moreover, I am looking at interactive "games" software etc Raptivity, it's almost entirely in Flash. Would you recommend buying Raptivity?

Am I to think now that I have to avoid Flash? Obviously, the games and fun interactive activities like crossword puzzles, etc are most suitable for Mobile devices. However, many of us invested heavily in Flash and non-technical as I am, I question if HTML5 can indeed replace Flash. I just want to hear your views.

My initial reply to this question is nearly always to list the learning technologies I used. I guess that somewhere in my mind I expect them to go out, get a copy of the software and start using the tool themselves, and so they really need this information. Silly, I know but without these tools, my job would be a lot harder. http://elearningindustry.com/which-elearning-authoring-tool-should-you-use

Dreaming is OK with me.
