It has gotten to a point where some of my courses are all developed in Flash and the e-learning authoring tools (DHTML) have been used more as a "shell" that decompiles it as a SCORM package. So, do I really need to continue using these authoring tools?

DHTML authoring tool - My preference is OutStart Trainer (TrainerSoft). Notepad - Editing XML, which is extremely useful in working with DHTML courses and sometimes Flash courses. Adobe Captivate - Fantastic for creating simulations (software sims and branching sims), plus it does a good job recording audio for your sims.

ToolBook authoring tool - this is the DHTML authoring tool used at my company, but prior to this I used TrainerSoft (now Outstart Trainer), which is my preference. It is a glimpse not just into their development tool preferences, but it also provides some reflection into the approaches they take in creating courses.

OutStart Trainer - I am currently using another DHTML editor in which I am not enthralled at all. Adobe CS4 eLearning Suite - I am still working with CS3. High end microphone - It will come in very handy for adding audio to courses, plus it will look great on my desk.

Keep in mind some may be DHTML output, others create Flash SWFs. HTML/HTML5 : Learning HTML will come in very handy, especially if your WBT tool creates DHTML files, which you may need to edit at times. If you are lucky enough to have a graphic artist on staff, it is still good to know the basics and be able to "speak their language."
