If you need to publish something quickly to a Microsoft platform (e.g. SharePoint) and you can live with the structure, then it is OK. Adobe Captivate is really a different league, professional development tool, integration with other tools like Photoshop, highly customizable, no fixed course structure, multiple outputs, cross-platform, scriptable... but also a higher learning curve.

Picked up your old post on LCDS. If it were compared to Adobe Captivate and the Adobe eLearning Suite....which would be a stand out now. thx Hi Jan. Picked up your old post on LCDS.

For the others, you are right, the only way to introduce MP3 audio is embedding it in Flash. I use Captivate for that, which makes it rather easy to do.

However, in courses I create, it is necessary that I be able to insert mp3 audio in all topics of a lesson within a course. I did not see any capability to do that in the LCDS. Did I miss something? Is it in fact possible to include mp3 audio files in topics? If so, how? At this point, I see that the only way is to create the audio files packaged inside an swf file. Please help me if you can.
