Right now I am doing a survey on authoring tools (more on this at the end of the post) and so far 100% of all respondents state that HTML5 output is required in an authoring tool. I do believe that HTML5 output will continue to grow as an authoring tool feature. I am still stunned that this is slogging away. Not anymore.

In 1989, I created my first interactive video using an authoring platform called IconAuthor, and it required a newfangled operating system called Windows 2.1. Soon after, Apple Computer introduced the Macintosh with Hypercard which, according to Steve Jobs, was an object oriented “programming language for the rest of us.”

You can do this by using tools like Camtasia or QuickTime (you may need to download a plugin to record both audio and video). If you use a Mac, you can use Quicktime or iMovie. For Windows users, you can trim videos with a host of free programs. My advice is to balance convenience and cost. Movie Maker is one that’s easy to use.

Most eLearning authors embed much of their learning experience in Flash movies– which are incompatible with Apple’s mobile devices. The “magic” of HTML5 is not in the HTML5 markup itself, but in the Javascript APIs (Application Programming Interface) that are associated with it. Mark also authors two monthly magazine columns.

I have it on good authority that it’s a swell program with easy to use outputs and sharing options. Luckily modern editors make it easy to export without having to think about the nitty gritty details of the file. Speaking of editors… why not give Camtasia a try !
