Beautiful Timelines For Your eLearning (From Bee Docs)

August 21, 2008

I often get requests for visual timelines in eLearning courses. Typically I’ll try to cobble something together using PowerPoint’s charting or drawing tools (shudder). Sometimes I’ll create the timeline in Apple’s Keynote (much nicer charting tools) and bring the graphic into PowerPoint (since I do most of my development work in Articulate Presenter). I’ve also created timelines from scratch using something like Adobe Fireworks, which can be a time-consuming endeavor.

Timeline from Bee Documents looks like an interesting application. Whip up a beautiful timeline in a matter of minutes? Yes please! The 3D version looks particularly intriguing (and visually stunning).

Ah, this is what I love about my cross-platform setup at home (iMac + VMWare Fusion + Windows XP). Easy access to the best and brightest apps, regardless of the platform.

Give Timeline a look. Better yet, download the free trial. And the prices are reasonable enough to pay for themselves in time saved in a course or two.

OS X only (sorry, WinPeeps).
