It’s beginning to dawn on me that a wide range of development tasks associated with e-learning, including the use of authoring tools, plus the post-production of graphics, animations, audio and video, are not going to be for everyone.

However, multi-choice questions are a blunt instrument when it comes to interacting with a student and certainly don''t give the feel of a tutorial relationship.
