I’ve used everything from Authorware to PowerPoint to create materials. I’m not proud of it, but early in my career, I created programs in the aforementioned format. What is eLearning, really? For the last ten years, I’ve developed training in some capacity.

Is PowerPoint the most widely used tool for eLearning development? It seems that everywhere I go in the eLearning world I run into PowerPoint. I “grew-up&# in eLearning world using Director/Authorware and then moving into Flash/HTML (PPT was “off-limits&# ). Classroom training is often converted to an online format.

Over the last 15 years, eLearning has evolved, from Authorware to PowerPoint to the proprietary tools and interactive, experiential, and social formats that we have today. The good news is that, while tools have come and gone and possibilities have expanded beyond imagining, some things haven’t changed.

PowerPoint is not E-Learning and shouldn’t be used as your course tool/development – For whatever reason, there are people who have been around online learning for years, who still see PPT as a means for the creation of content – i.e. courses. Do they have anything in common with one another? It’s me. Who knows.

I don’t know about you but I am starting to get tired of the PowerPoint haters. I go to a lot of conferences and there’s always someone trashing PowerPoint. They’ll throw in the usual, “it’s not PowerPoint but the presenter&# disclaimer and then go on a 45 minute anti-PowerPoint rant.

If you are an Authorware fanatic missing the old days, you are still going to miss it – because while these capabilities are being added to tools they are still not at the level of Authorware. Templates have been around for decades and often look like the ones you get with PowerPoint – which are lame. Audio Editing.

Where does PowerPoint fit into the standards? Until eLearning vendors bite the bullet, come to real standards on formats, and then the tools and structure can build up to support those standards, eLearning is never going to be what it can be. However, it all settled down to roughly Toolbook, Authorware and IconAuthor.
