Imagine this: You've got a business full of enthusiastic employees, ready to learn. But you’re not interested in making them all travel to a central location so you can stand in front of them with a whiteboard and a marker. Nope - you’re using engaging, interactive content that they can access anywhere, anytime. Welcome to the world of eLearning!
At Popcorn Learning Agency, we're passionate about creating captivating, impactful eLearning experiences. And our secret weapons? The right eLearning authoring tools. But what exactly are these tools, and how do they help in developing eLearning courses? Let's dive in!
What Are eLearning Courses?
Before we get into the authoring tools, let’s make sure we’re all on the same page with what eLearning course are.
eLearning is short for electronic learning. It’s a piece of content that’s digital and is delivered online. The content can be anything such as an animation or a filmed video; and vary in complexity from a simple fact sheet right through to a fully immersive interactive game.
An eLearning course can be made up of one of more pieces of eLearning content and is designed to teach skills, knowledge or behaviours. It could be anything from health and safety training to leadership development programs.
What makes eLearning courses special is their flexibility—learners can access content anytime, anywhere, and often at their own pace. eLearning courses are a brilliant way to provide consistent training across large organisations, enhancing employee skills without disrupting their workflow.
In order to help make these courses come to life, there are some fantastic eLearning authoring tools available.
What Are eLearning Authoring Tools?
An eLearning authoring tool is a programme that enables you to create content and save it in a format that can be viewed online and is compatible with a learning management system (LMS) or learning experience platform (LXP). Authoring tools tend to all be intuitive to use and can be quick to learn. Most also require little or no coding or website development knowledge.
