I had made a quiz in udutu and thought it was just okay. Generally, quiz authoring tools do not seem to offer enough choice of question types. Even ~20 or so aren't helpful if many of them differ only in graphics or number of items. Also, you can't tie feedback to particular configurations of answers in multiple-part questions or branch based on those configurations. That all said, Udutu is pretty good for freeware, but I don't think I'd recommend it unless someone couldn't afford Presenter, Articulate, or Captivate, which seem to give you more graphical control, at least. It doesn't seem to be that there is a good solution out there, yet.

theresa sent me this after we talked about our troubles with the OCW folks hoping for a transcript of their captures (camtasia relay 2.0 does this but it is not great). sounds like the new version of dragon naturally speaking is quite good---but most of us don't think so??? beth--could gelardin test this?!
-
We can test it. What is the time line? From what I've heard and read, you have to "train" Naturally Speaking to recognize your voice. If someone wants to take the time to do that, the accuracy will increase. We can test it for ourselves. I'll check with CDW on pricing.
