eLearning 24-7

The other day, I was listening to an audiobook, and the author spoke about ideas. I thought about this, as you can tell, and said to myself, okay, let’s write a post where the e-learning history and thus learning systems, authoring tools, and alike are intertwined with good and bad ideas. I chose the groupings route.

Netscape showed up, and dominated the market. The majority of people creating the courses used authoring tools, such as Authorware (difficult to learn, but robust), Dazzler Max (I used it, learning curve though), Lectora (difficult to learn) and many others that existed then. Instructional design was actually being used.

The latter included an authoring tool, too. I personally think what has hurt them in the greater market is the push by so many vendors (some of which are legit competitors) to refer to them as “traditional”, citing how long they have been around. NetG, Element K, being just two. That didn’t happen.

You can build your own via a 3rd party authoring tool. In addition to adding content, they are now expanding into additional platforms, authoring tools and so forth, but this is about content, so I’ll stay on the path. Who remembers NetG? NetG, was the evil empire of the days gone past – ok, in my mind.

I see a listing of products and tools. Clearly says something about the state of the fragmented eLearning market -- mostly small shops providing services or companies doing it in-house using all of the aforementioned tools. Id personally come up with a list of tools, but then I produce elearning inhouse for my employer.

I was one of several authors who collaborated on the survey questions and wrote different sections of the report. An LMS is a big, expensive tool that takes quite a bit of work and is generally harder than you think it's going to be when you start out. Note: this represents a lot of the market whether they admit it or not.
