Last time I looked, HTML was quite capable of displaying pages of text, combined with pictures, video, animations, audio and games. The difference is that iBooks Author creates a tightly formatted, packaged product that can be sold, just like a CD-ROM or a paperback.

I’ve purchased Articulate Storyline because it provides the facility to export to HTML 5/IOS (although I’d probably have bought it anyway because it’s a very flexible tool) and plenty of other tools, including Captivate and Lectora, are mobile friendly. These are not trivial issues but they are being solved very rapidly.

Then there are all the output files, the Flash, the HTML, the SCORM wrappers, again in numerous versions. Then there are all the different versions you may have had to produce along the way – did you store all these separately, clearly numbered? I thought not. This is getting seriously geeky.

The World Wide Web is a system which allows documents formatted using Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to be shared across the internet in the form of web pages, aggregated as web sites. As we know, they are not. Web pages are viewed using applications called web browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc.).

What I am determined not to do is to regard 3D as intrinsically superior to 2D just because it has 50% more dimensions, any more than I feel a Flash web site is any better than one created in HTML. I know it’s a cliché but it really is ‘horses for courses’.

It doesn’t really matter if it’s Microsoft or Apple, HTML 5 or Flash, proprietary or open source, so long as it delivers content and allows humans to interact. Most people will still be using Windows PCs and laptops; a great many will also have smart phones or tablets of some sort.

Given the fuss currently about HTML 5 and mobile learning, we can sometimes forget that these media already work just fine on any device going. Instructional e-learning tries to provide knowledge in one hit and this is rarely going to be a successful strategy.

It allows me to insert tables, without having to write the HTML. The text editor is much more robust than Google's, which provides me with all sorts of formatting glitches and problems. It is much easier to import images. The editor is configured to look exactly like the finished posting with all the correct style sheets.

It doesn't (yet) support styles, which I use all the time, but it does work very smoothly because it's built in Flash rather than HTML, and this makes a big difference to performance and functionality. It also looks really nice, and aesthetics are important (see my posting on Getting in touch with your feelings ).

The tool outputs the activity as a zip containing an HTML file, an XML file, a Flash movie and the various images. Using the default parameters provides an easy way to generate a decent end result, but just about every aspect of the activity can be customised if you wish.

It's easy to implement, requiring just a line of HTML code on a page. FlockPod is created in Flash and requires the learner to be online, both of which could pose some limitations, but should not put off the majority of potential users. The big questions for me are: Will enterprises see the potential benefit of this form of collaboration?

However, the format (HTML pages supported by blogs) was rather limiting and the courses don't really stand up to what you can produce in a fully-fledged learning content management system / authoring tool / virtual learning environment.

It's easy; I have programmed this sort of question in no time at all in umpteen different languages (BASIC, Pascal, HTML/JavaScript, Flash ActionScript) over the years. and (3) ways to provide helpful feedback for each possible input - and in a simple multiple-choice question, that means for every possible choice.
