Solve it: When the vendor is showing you the LMS/LCMS ask them if that is included in the system or an extra cost. It is worth the extra dollars to purchase a LMS that comes built in with an authoring tool. Actually, I see no real advantage for having a built-in authoring tool, other than it generates some more revenue for the vendor.

If you listen to content authoring tool vendors who have added the capability of HTML5 it is easy to misunderstand what some are saying is not what you assume to be true. The assumption is that the product can output to HTML5, yet this is hardly true for the vast majority of authoring tools. That cost is in the pitch of HTML5.

I believe it is because many of the vendors do not want their customers to have such power. After all, if you can create a couple of APIs that provide strong social learning functionality, and the LMS vendor offers an add-on for social learning, do they really want you to put yours in? And for free?
