BP2_Web 2.0 Tool (UDUTU)

I chose to use the Web 2.0 tool UDUTU.  This tool is a free authoring tool that allows people to publish information on the web and allows for easy access, as you can publish it to an internet location, zip drive, or even Facebook for easy access. 


I wanted to create a quick how-to course to demonstrate its capabilities, so I chose to design a general informational piece giving basic steps to brushing your teeth.  Using this general but basic idea, I was able to create a quick course to run through the tutorial videos on how to complete a course using UDUTU easily. 

The tool is very user friendly, as you simply choose a name for the course and select a design to use to easily navigate the interface of your webpage.  Adding slides is quick and easy and is much like using Powerpoint or Keynote when designing the interface, as the pictures and text can be as basic or as complicated for each slide as you so choose. The tool but has the ability to use as an interactive site as well, which is ideal for children and students alike.  I chose a elementary design to make the developmental process as easy as possible, however the interface is interactive if you so choose dedicating buttons to pick multiple choice answers as well as sequencing and video clip ability.  



This picture indicates the first window seen when creating the first slide of the course.  Once it is named, you are free to start creating the rest of your project with pictures and text.  Here is a screenshot of my first final project.  As elementary as it seems, I wanted to illustrate how easy this tool is to begin and use from start to finish.



UDUTU seems to be an excellent tool, and I am excited to continue to use it to create and develop new and innovative courses for training purposes.
