You want freedom and autonomy. We get it.
We know that you want control over the development and maintenance of your eLearning courses. You would prefer your eLearning is produced with the latest authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline or Lectora Inspire that give you the features and flexibility you want.
You prefer eLearning Authoring tools because they allow:
In-house Course Development for Simpler Needs
You want tools that can be used by your team to quickly produce simple and small eLearning courses, avoiding the cost and effort of outsourcing. All your team needs is some proficiency in PowerPoint, and sound Instructional Design basics.
Last Minute Tweaking
You want to make those last-minute changes to the course (to keep the content current or change the completion criteria) at any time, even though the entire course development was outsourced.
Future Updates
You want the option of holding on to the source files without being tied to any vendor for future updates. All you would need to do is to open the source files in the authoring tool, make changes and republish it.
Let’s See How Authoring Tools Actually Produce Rapid eLearning Solutions
Blending ILT with eLearning, Microlearning and Digital Job-aids
Authoring tools can publish to HTML5 for multi-device compatibility and responsive design. This makes it easy to turn ILT material into eLearning curriculums, microlearning nuggets, mobile learning and digital job-aids.
Flash to HTML5 eLearning Course Conversions
The source files for legacy courses (developed in obsolete software such as Flash or earlier versions of authoring tools) might not always be available. The latest authoring tools (Articulate Storyline 360, Lectora Inspire, Adobe Captivate) are ideal for such legacy conversions.
Translating English Language Courses into International Languages
It is very easy to translate a master eLearning course (usually, in English) to any international language using authoring tools. With the click of a button, you can export the content to an RTF format that leaves space for the translator to fill in the target language. The translated text can then be integrated along with the translated audio and published to HTML5.
Making eLearning Courses Technically Compliant
These tools have eliminated the difficulty and tedium of making eLearning courses comply with technical standards such as AICC, SCORM and Tin Can API. Authoring tools are also extremely helpful in meeting accessibility standards such as WCAG or Section 508.
