When to switch eLearning tools by Joe Ganci. I love Joe, his knowledge on authoring tools is unique. He started out by saying that it should not be the tool that determines the elearning, but the learner, the context and the goal. He knows them all. Thanks Joe, I appreciate this.

Easygenerator is an e-Learning authoring tool for people with no e-Learning background. We know that our tool must be so intuitive that anyone can login and without any training can start creating courses, assessments, e-books and curated documents. I will explain in this post. But that is not sufficient.

A good starting point is to choose e-learning tools that are simple enough to pick up and use instantly. Advanced tools go hand in hand with additional features, but they give less control to third parties who manage the content. These colleagues often know the ins and outs of the latest e-learning design tools. Pace yourself.

Therefore, we have ensured our authoring tool is well-suited to empower employees to generate their learning. I believe that there are a few indispensable elements a tool must have to enable Employee Generated Learning. First and foremost, it is of importance that the authoring tool has no learning curve.

It is the same with choosing your e-Learning tooling. You can buy a big system that does all (like Blackboard, Sumtotal, Saba, Cornerstone on demand, et cetera) or you can go for a bunch of specialized tools that will beat that big solution on every specialty. My advice: go with the small specialized tools all the time.

Our customers invest a lot of time and money in creating content in our tools. Whenever they decide that they want another tool, it is almost impossible to transfer their content to other systems.
