<DIV>We had the same problem with Storyline. Lectora was recommended, but I found that very cumbersome to use and expensive. I've switched over to Captivate because it is easier to use and train others on using. The price is also much better than Storyline or Lectora. Although, I am having some issues getting Captivate to allow keyboard navigation in FireFox. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've also looked at Xerte. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles as the others, but is accessible. I am looking for tools that are accessible and that we can afford to offer to all faculty. Has anyone else used Xerte or have any recommendations on it?</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hi, all. I’m working with a developer who has been building tutorials in Articulate Storyline (Flash mode) for awhile. She wants to produce accessible tutorials, but despite AS’s claims of “508 Compliance” there’s no user education available, and despite her best efforts, her beta-stage tutorials don’t work at all with JAWS and barely function even part of the time with keyboard-only and vision. I’d like to suggest she change authoring tools completely, not only for accessibility but also so that she can produce content that can be accessed on a wider array of devices. What tool(s) would you recommend she investigate as alternatives to Articulate Storyline, and why?<o:p></o:p></P>
