Sutori, a platform to create digital lessons
Slide presentingTimeline creators
Description: Sutori is a storytelling platform for creating interactive timelines, presentations, and reports collaboratively. Users can choose between using a template or creating their own content from scratch, and then incorporate text, images, videos, and audio to it. They can also indicate to others the order in which to visualise different resources within the same presentation, making use clearer. Sutori provides a limited free version and requires creating an account for use. It was created by Thomas Ketchell.
Evaluation: Sutori is a handy tool to create visual and interactive lessons for their students. It offers templates classified by subject, thus streamlining class preparation. Essentially, teachers can create digital lessons resembling digital textbooks with Sutori. Unfortunately, its free version does not support quizzes, videos, or polls, restricting its use substantially.
Cost: Free with registration + paid plans available.
