With the growth of tablet devices, authoring tools are having to re-invent themselves, yet again. It’s nothing new —just another step in the continual evolution we’ve seen since the early 1990s, when authoring tools were first introduced to help eLearning professionals create and deliver learning.

Instead they just build everything from inside their authoring tool. A lot of this changed when we shifted from custom development in Flash and Authorware to Articulate Studio and PowerPoint. It’s just in the authoring tool and not a separate document. Which makes sense, because the tools are so much easier to use.

The latter included an authoring tool, too. Adobe Captivate – They were not the first authoring tool in the industry; Authorware was the first commercial success, heavily used with CBT, and then even into WBT (web-based). Skills building/development/ongoing feature sets are awesome.

He founded the computer-based course authoring tool Authorware in 1984 and later formed Macromedia through a merger which was then bought by Adobe Systems. We were spending millions of dollars on courseware development.

I came into rapid e-learning from the world of Authorware and Flash where building courses took a lot of time and cost a lot more money. That made it easier to share my ideas with our Flash developers. So why were we wasting money on expensive Flash development? And if not, choose the right tool for the job.
