What is a content authoring
tool?
An
e-learning authoring tool is a software package which developers use to create
and package e-learning content deliverable to end users.
According
to Wikipedia.org, “a content-authoring tool is a software application used to
create multimedia content typically for delivery on the World Wide Web.
Content-authoring tools may also create content in other file formats so the
training can be delivered on a CD (compact disc) or in other formats for
various different uses. The category of content-authoring tools includes HTML,
Flash and various types of e-learning authoring tools.”
Many
programs can be considered authoring tools, including Flash, and PowerPoint.
However, only a small group of programs specifically include support for
e-learning content standards such as SCORM (Shareable Content Object Reference
Model) or AICC (CBT) (Aviation Industry CBT Committee). Examples: Articulate
Storyline, Adobe Captivate, Composica, Lectora and Camtasia.
