Right now I am doing a survey on authoring tools (more on this at the end of the post) and so far 100% of all respondents state that HTML5 output is required in an authoring tool. I do believe that HTML5 output will continue to grow as an authoring tool feature. Layers, Triggers and Actions. Not anymore.

The RCAT (rapid content authoring tool) market continues to be healthy with nothing to slow it down – uh, except maybe one thing (more on that later). I am still surprised on how vendors who are offering assessment only tools are staying in the game. Perhaps their audience is unaware of LMSs who offer assessment tools.

Instead they just build everything from inside their authoring tool. Years ago when I first started working with e-learning, storyboards were really important. Rapid E-Learning Changed Things. A lot of this changed when we shifted from custom development in Flash and Authorware to Articulate Studio and PowerPoint.
