Will they be able to access support resources with ease? Can they download support tools on their mobile devices? Does it allow them to personalize their training plans? The developers, admins, and other key members of your eLearning staff use it daily to disburse development tools, as well as monitor progress and update compliance content to avoid costly violations. Ideally, you want a tool they can pick up quickly and get to work.
You may need to develop support resources that help them acclimate, such as tutorials or walk-throughs that highlight the functions. Better still, choose a vendor that already offers these ROI-enhancing reference tools. Ask your team to map out how they use the current system. For example, a step-by-step list of how they create or update content for your compliance course.
Another advantage of outlining their work practices is being able to spot hidden gaps in your current software or strategy. You can also evaluate LMS reports to identify weak points and then bridge them with more intuitive employee training software. LMS free trials should be a team effort. Many organizations make the mistake of having one person take the test-drive and make all the important buying decisions.
But there must be a good mix of testers from each user group, including admins, developers, and front-end users. Give them some guidelines to follow. Reporting features are a deal-breaker. If not, you should be able to customize reports to meet your specifications. Secondly, the reporting functionality itself must be easy to use. For example, admins can quickly adjust delivery methods, reporting frequency, or criteria. The vendor usually outlines the reporting basics during their sales pitch.

Services are delivered on time and to budget. Very professional outfit. Depending on your project needs, the following tools should be considered.
Articulate Storyline — This is the tool of choice for many because it is fairly easy to use and comes with some pretty nifty features and an extremely active support community.
That said, it is a solid offering. LearnDash — A budget friendly yet feature-packed solution for creating elearning courses. Magazine , use it by itself or with any of the tools that are included in this list.
Adobe Captivate — Along with Articulate, this piece of software is the workhorse of the industry. It has been around for quite some time and evolved in a good way in recent years.
It has a bit steeper learning curve that Articulate, but it is just as powerful. Lectora — This is a web-based tool that is best if your course is heavy with text. All of the options above have their pros and cons. Personally, most of my experience has been with LearnDash naturally , Adobe Captivate, and Articulate products. Even since this article was originally written approaching six years ago now , these are many of the same players in the elearning software game.
Each provider has evolved quite a bit to keep up with the times and overall growing use of elearning across all industries. If anything, this has benefited consumers. My personal view is that each platform has become significantly easier to use. In the end you need to pick something that has enough functionality to help you meet your learning program objectives, but built in a way that helps you create content efficiently.
If you are new to elearning development, then LearnDash, iSpring, and the Articulate Suite of tools are a good starting point. You can then expand from there as needed. Articulate and LearnDash both have a very active community. LearnDash in particular has a thriving Facebook Group where people share ideas and help one another. LearnDash is built on the most popular content management system WordPress in the entire world as well, which means you will have no shortage of resources available to you.
In the end though, the best program for elearning development really comes down to personal preference as well as the type of content you are creating. For example, when it comes to software simulations, I am a fan of User Productivity Kit by Oracle not included in the list above but still worth looking into for certain projects. If so, then feel free to mention it below! I think a big player that will change the industry of e-learning is Zebrazapps.
Just returned from LSCon in Orlando. There are some very neat tools on the market new players like Adapt and Skilitic offerings. However, looking at session attendance, booth swarm and Learning Solutions demos, it was very apparent that Articulate was tool of choice for most seemed more than half of all Learning Solutions demos were Articulate- most of them Storyline with some Studio mixed in.
Can you clarify? Is it the most flexible and robust? Arguably not — but they have the loyalty. For e-learning resources that are more complex and more robust, Zebrazapps is triumphant because it gives users the ability to setup complicated truth tables, state tables and answer tables to handle all the conditional states.
For a moderately interactive project in Storyline, you may end up with hundreds of triggers listed on the right side of the screen and it is hard to label everything — very tedious. Storyline is more suited for simple interactivity. Been there, done that!
Also plays on Kindles and even some gaming platforms. Also has built in ability for capturing reviewer comments from our globally dispersed reviewer group for developers to analyze and address. It is not aimed at some of the complex scenarios addressed by Zebrazapps, but for general, engaging elearning, reusability, and dispersed development teams, it works quite well.
We have a web based and a windows version. Both are available as a free edition on or a monthly subscription base. Check us out and feel free to contact me if you have any questions. We use Composica www. There is some clunky DIY workaround you can try, but this lack of adaptability has me looking more closely at Adobe Captivate again. Thanks for the tip on ispring — I downloaded the ispring free version to try out.
Looks cool so far. The tool also depends on the environment. I work in government so there is a need to meet This is especially true for government employees which has a higher population of disabled and elderly. So a large requirement is to not only have dynamic training but also accessible training on many devices for many different disabilities. Flash is not good at this. There are ways to make some controls work, but the effort is too great and many effects you want cannot be used.
As a result tools that run on multiple devices using with well coded HTML5 that also meets essentially all options work via keyboard, all text is exposed to screen readers are ones that will get a larger audience over time. We have used Captivate and Epilogue, we will phase them out and move to tools such as Claro, Elucidat, Smartbuilder I am still deciding so any input welcome. Since they produce HTML5 with built in, that is the direction we want to go. Some of the packages even can imitate simulations, basically mimicking the videos.
When you create content on a compliant tool and publish it through LDash, does it remain complaint? Thanks in advance for any advice you have for someone making a selection. Equipped with HTML5 standard and SCORM-compatible, the authoring software can be used in almost any context offline, online, with and without a learning management system. The intuitive user interface and the supplied templates and modern designs offer an ideal kick-start for great content that can be viewed anywhere.
