The organization I work for has never formally offered web based training. My role is to help start up a web based training program. One of the tasks I've been working on is selecting a tool kit for creating the content. The first content authoring product I choose was Articulate Studio '09.

Currently my organization is working on setting up a formal learning system that will manage instructor led training, web-based training, and virtual classroom training. This can be done through just-in-time content and collaborative content like wikis and blogs bound through a social network.

As my organization selects an LMS and gears up for web based training, I've been looking at a variety of authoring tools for online training. I'm sure this is due to the complexity of web based learning content, the variety of requirements out there, and the market size of eLearning. Such a tool does not exist yet.

I'm working on a template that will be used for all my online self-paced training. For me, it feels right to have the buttons at the bottom because the user doesn't have to deal with them until they have read the content on the page. This puts the content first which is good. There is an issue that is nagging at me.

I thought discussion would center around the content contained in each slide (which it did eventually). Without context, learners will be confused about the purpose of the training. It turns out that I did not have to make significant changes to the content of the storyboard. That is good to know before starting development.

Another process I had to reboot recently was a content development tool that just wasn't working. With a little bit of research I was able to find a content development tool (Articulate) that was on the opposite end of the spectrum and would save the training developers here hours of work per project.

Since delving into learning content development a few years ago, I've been continually impressed with Microsoft PowerPoint's capabilities. A lot of learning content already exists in PowerPoint. It has awesome enhancements for photos and graphics, it has rich animation building capabilities, and it has a super easy user interface.
