I had thought that, with my extravagant purchases, I was maintaining the Adobe share price all on my own, but the eLearning Guild's latest research report on authoring and development tools proves otherwise.

Two situations recently have got me thinking about e-learning authoring tools. Secondly, I've been doing some work for a client of mine that has an LMS with some authoring capabilities, trying to compare what they have to offer with what's available elsewhere. Everybody's got an authoring tool. Why on earth not?

One of the benefits from my regular tussles on the tennis court with Steve Rayson of Kineo is the intelligence we get to share on the elearning marketplace as we attempt to recover our composure at the finish. This time Steve alerted me to some research that Forrester has been doing for Adobe on the development of rapid elearning in the USA.

The authors know what they’re talking about because they run 37signals , the company responsible for the project management software Basecamp (which we use at the eLearning Network ).

Phil Green, Chairman of the eLearning Network has twisted my arm (once again) and persuaded me to take a trip in a balloon with seven of my e-learning colleagues.

In addressing this month's question on the Learning Circuits Blog , I was tempted by an observation made by Stephen Downes in his review of last year's eLearn Magazine predictions : there are two major types of predictions: one, which identifies a current trend, and says it will continue; and the other, that identifies something novel or unexpected.
