"Quirky and crash-prone BUT well worth using."
Version: Course Genie 2
Pros
Course Genie does what it says -- From Word-based documents produces excellent and highly usable multipage HTML courses. The end product is easy to navigate and attractively formatted.To limited extent the appearance of the pages can be customized.
Cons
It takes some work to put in place the special tags that allow Course Genie to do it's thing. The program is quirky and often crashes in the middle of course compilation for reasons that never became clear to me despite months of use.
Summary
I used Course Genie version 2.0. Despite its flaws, I know of no other product that does what this does. When it works, it does its job brilliantly. To use it you have to learn a set of special tags, so there's a learning curve. But it's not that steep. About the crashes: Smaller files generally compile with no problem. But in my experience as the input document gets larger crashes become more frequent. The reasons are generally hard to pin down. So it's a matter of just jiggering around with the input document until you hit on a version that will generate the desired output. Unfortunately for me, some of my courses are quite lengthy. All that said, the end product is satisfactory in every way. Despite the problems I have continued to use this product because I like it!
