Surely the idea behind rapid e-learning was that SMEs would do the work, not e-learning professionals. Aren't they supposed to be doing really clever things like creating scenarios, simulations, games, 3D worlds and imaginative blended solutions?

One trend I’m seeing is that in the simulation tool world not listing their pricing is quite common. Scate Ignite 4 – Professional and Standard – great product but this is just mystifying. IMC-AG PowerTrainer 4. Pro-ductivity Systems. I’ll get right to the point.

CBT Prior to online learning known then as WBT, and then the latter term of e-learning (vendors today, use it to refer to content that is online), there was CBT. CBT was the “new” and exciting way to learn. Thus, simulations, courses that were engaging/interactive (in many cases) was available.

In fact, I consider it a huge negative if your authoring tool doesn’t have it, especially those that are robust simulation templates. But, from an e-learning developer standpoint, the thought of using a template is the same as painting with numbers. Blue is number 2, red is number four and so on.

Lots of practical ideas and examples for turning basic teaching points into learning games -- from casual games to teach facts and concepts, to detailed simulations that teach procedures and problem solving. And, hey, many e-Learning vendors are vested in the "old boomer" model of training. Thats not in our plan."

Nor, a LMS vendor who enable their customers to sell their courses, but only people who have the same LMS vendor can buy and use them. One of my pet peeves are “sim&# makers who tell people how easy it is to create a simulation to use in their courses. Then you save and download your new simulation file.
