Sadly, though the Mac has a great variety of media applications, there aren't many eLearning development tools available for Mac (yet). If you have an Intel-based Mac, you can do what I do. Run Windows on your Mac side-by-side with your Mac applications using VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop. That gives you the best of both worlds in a single box. I expect to see some Mac-native eLearning development applications as the Mac market continues to grow. TechSmith are already working on their apps.

Hi Chris,

I’m an instructional designer making the transition to becoming an eLearning developer as well. Your post on the Adobe video workshop interested me especially since I’m fresh from attending their Articulate webinar. I’m thrilled that there are tools out there that make it easy for someone like me with no programming experience to create interaction rich eLearning content. However, they told me that their product wouldn’t work on my Mac – even if I have Powerpoint for Mac.

Any ideas of other products I might check out that wouldn’t need me to have a separate PC for my development projects?
