Google Sites online course created using Udutu

jerthebear — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:00:22 +0000

One of my popular posts is a video tutorial I created for Google Sites. Given the popularity of that post, I’ve decided to take it a step further. I’ve created a Google Sites online course using a great new service called Udutu. From their website:

Whether you are a large corporate organization or a small business, the udutu online course authoring tool – myudutu™ – can save you time and money. Myudutu™ is a FREE web-based tool which allows users to create highly interactive elearning courses quickly and easily.

This unique and award winning online authoring tool allows you to design and implement online training and courses without any knowledge of technology. Myudutu™ offers you all the features of an enterprise solution without the risks, hassles and headaches that come with it.

If you’re interested in taking the Google Sites online course, you can do so here.

If you have any feedback or comments on how I can improve the course, please let me know by leaving a comment.
