With more than 20 years of experience developing online educational content, I've had the opportunity to try a variety of instructional tools and technologies. Here are the ones I recommend.

Course Platform

Thinkific: Starts at $36/month. I am currently using Thinkific to build and host my courses. It is fairly easy to use. But the part I like the most is the support. Thinkific includes a free eight-week Launch Accelerator program that walks you through set-up. They also host daily office hours, Monday through Friday. 

Software

Screen Capture and Video Editing

Camtasia: Starts at $143/year. Camtasia is best known for screen capture (recording your computer screen), but it is also a great tool for editing videos. AI-driven video editing tools have gained popularity, but I still prefer to edit videos myself. There is a learning curve, but Camtasia is easier to learn than other video editing tools, like Adobe Premiere Pro.
