What course authoring software will you use? With so many elearning authoring tools available, choosing the right tool can be a daunting task.

This month’s Big Question on the ASTD Learning Circuits Blog asks what software tools, as learning and development professionals, we should set out to learn. The tools that most l&d professionals have to use on a daily basis are your bog standard Office applications and a web browser. On careful reflection, I’d have to say none. I’ve witnessed terrible examples of the training friends of mine have received when they decided to become more tech-savvy.

Great question! How interactive your module needs to be, comes down to the definition questions you asked prior to entering into the development phase of your module. Questions such as: Who are your learners? If you haven’t asked those questions yet, go and do it now. Did you get answers to your definition questions? But first the big question…How interactive does your interactivity need to be?
