Ahead of the e-learning awards on Thursday 6 November, where the eCreator has been shortlisted for Most Innovative New Learning Product, we caught up with Unicorn's Head of Content Development Laura Hooper for a chat about the world of content development. I got to learn software like Director and Authorware, built my first project for Liverpool Victoria and never looked back! A year ago I was asked to become the Head of Content Development.

Elearning development tools: only Adobe? Over the last ten years or so, major elearning developers have preferred to use tools like Flash, Authorware and Director from Adobe (earlier Macromedia). The reason was simple– it was an easier way to achieve the multimedia integration needed to deliver engaging content over variety of media (standalone CD based and then transitioning to web based). However, we haven’t heard much about elearning development using Silverlight.

The Content Conversion Cause - Abhijit Kadle. The longer your company has been in business, the more you’ve been creating training material, which has resulted in large libraries of content in various forms. Since the advent of e-learning, Macromedia products were popular, and enormous quantities of content were generated using platforms like Director and Flash.

Note: you can generally tell if info was provided by a real user or by an authoring tool company ;) Bryan Chapman, Brandon Hall Research Report, Authoring Tool KnowledgeBase 2009 (A Buyer's Guide to 120+ of the Best E-learning Content Development Applications). The list does include older tools like Authorware, which are no longer being supported and definitely missing a tool or two.

On a recent post on LinkedIn, I talked about SMEs (Subject Matter Experts) and why they should not be the people creating your course/content. Anyone who used Authorware can attest to that. Give them some paper-based content. When you are creating an e-learning course, from existing content (usually it is paper-based), you want to extract the key takeaways in each chapter. The common wording used in objectives are – Learn, Develop, Identify, Examine, Acquire.

As the evolution of e-learning continues, the rapid content authoring tools (RCAT) market follows suit. Macromedia Authorware and similar products. While some could argue that Authorware was a RCAT, I disagree. People who are not WBT instructional designers or content developers or have a deep background in either field and are now handed off the task of creating content/courses. Open Source Free Content Authoring Tools.

Accepts any courses built in any content authoring tools that are SCORM & AICC compliant – so you can upload and sell your courses that you built in Articulate, Captivate, even open source authoring tools (but they must be standards compliant). Especially, when they are building the course in a rapid content authoring tool. Something like my 3rd party content authoring tool. Reuse course content & comes with an integrated gradebook. I love innovation.
