Top 10 Free Timeline Creation Tools For eLearning Professionals Timelines are incredibly powerful visual tools and can significantly enhance an eLearning experience. In this article, I'll share the top 10 free timeline creation tools so that you can create your own timelines without even touching your eLearning budget. Timelines are graphical representations of a period of time, on which important moments or events are marked alongside the dates that these events have happened. They can be vertical, comparative, interactive, in a sense that learners are required to click on the time period to know about the event and vice versa, or they can include images and graphics. Obviously they are incredibly powerful visual tools that can be used not only in education, such as displaying a list of historical events, but also in the corporate world to explain a work process, highlight important details, or show the progression of a product or service.

How to Create and Market a Children’s Book App – Presentation Highlights This past weekend I travelled to San Francisco to speak with a group of workshop participants attending Karen Robertson’s training on “How to Create & Market a Children’s Book App“. Karen is the author of several great resources on making and marketing book apps for kids, including an online course called “book app academy“. Karen created the Treasure Kai picture book apps and was very inspirational by sharing wisdom from her own sharp learning curve as well as a nice roadmap for new content creators in this very young industry. I highly recommend her two ebooks for anyone considering self-publishing a children’s book app: Author’s Guide to Book Apps and How to Market a Book App. The presentations and panel were exceptional, but the participants attending the workshop were equally interesting and talented. Meeting so many creative folks in one room (in real physical space) was energizing in a way online interaction still cannot match.
