From simple to powerful, from forms you fill out to scripting environments, each tool has something to offer. Each has strengths and each has limitations. Don't be caught by surprise when it's too late to turn back.

Finding a tool that fits your needs means determining exactly what your needs are first. Don’t make the mistake of forcing your instructional design into the limitations of a tool. Make tools work for you; not the other way around. In this session, you’ll learn the criteria needed for you to choose the right tool or tools for your work.
