The video download (14MB) is of David with Gemma Towle from the E4L project discussing how he used CourseGenie
"I didn’t actually know about Course Genie until Rob told me about it, because I was looking at ways of doing my project and Geraldine didn’t know and so we talked to Rob and he suggested Course Genie because it’s an add-on to Word and he felt it might work with the screen reading software and it does, it works brilliantly with it I have to say."
The program adds a series of style sheets to MS Word which allows users to build an entire website from one document. Just as you would have heading styles and normal text in the main part of the a document with Course Genie you can do it in the same way. You can add sections that become new pages along with uploading images and media files. It is keyboard and screen reader accessible and produces very easy to navigate web pages.

Try the University of Keele Course Genie Quick Tips and Trouble Shooting if you have any problems with Wimba Create as the latest version has not changed a great deal.
