After researching several online tools for learning content authoring, I selected the following learning object authoring tools, three tools that are free to use and two that are fee or subscription based:
Free Learning Object Authoring Tools
ClassTools.- This is a versatile resource that can be used to create
interactive educational games, quizzes, activities and diagrams. The
learning objects created with ClassTools can be hosted on a blog,
website or intranet. It is very easy to use and convenient, since it
does not require to sign up for an account or enter passwords.
Dipity.- This is a tool for creating interactive timelines online. It can
be used for sequential content or for any content that has a
chronological order. Its feature of embedding multimedia and links
makes learning objects created with Dipity highly engaging.
PresentationTube.- This authoring tool offers a video presentation recorder and
video sharing platform to help produce and share quality video
presentations easily. The video presentation recorder allows
presenters to narrate and annotate PowerPoint slides and synchronize
a variety of essential visual aids, including webcam streaming,
whiteboard, drawing board, web browser content, and desktop
recording. The platform uses YouTube API to upload and combine the
video with scrollable slide thumbnails, allowing the learner to move
to the respective video content and control both the progress and
length of video presentation.
Fee/Subscription-based Learning Object Authoring Tools
Articulate Storyline.- It seems that creating an interactive course with this e-learning
authoring software is quite easy and fun. Avatars and actors with a
lot of capabilities, as well as scenario backgrounds, make the
content of the course very engaging.
dominKnow Claro.- This is an award-winning web-based platform for authoring,
managing, and delivering high-quality e-learning that is remarkably
easy to navigate. Claro has a long list of features to help make
