The numbers of tools that are available for e-learning development
are far too many these days. Starting from media creation tools,
web publishing tools, online conferencing tools, to multimedia
authoring tools, integrated learning environments, collaboration
and management tools and so on.
Digital multimedia creation tools
Media types can include text, images, graphics, sound, animation,
video and virtual reality. The only problem encountered in
using multimedia in e-learning development on the Internet
is bandwidth issues.
Text creation tools
HTML or Hyper Text Markup Language is the native language read
by most web browsers like Internet Explorer and Netscape.
Other text formats are Adobe Acrobat .pdf files that offer
a 'published and easily printable' look. .TXT, .DOC, .RFT
are the more common formats that can be created using any
common word processor and text editor.
Graphic and Image creation tools
Images are useful in not just improving the look of content,
but also aid in easy understanding of difficult topics.
Animation Tools
Animation formats on the web are JAVA, Shock wave, GIF89a and
they can be created using tools like CorelWeb Graphics, WebPainter
or GIF builder.
Web Publishing Tools
In a web-based education site, the content must be in HTML
format. The simplest method is to use a web publishing tool
like any HTML editor. Common web publishing tools are Macromedia
DreamWeaver, Microsoft Front Page, HTML Assistant Pro, Claris
Home Page, HotMetal and so on.
Internet-based
Conferencing Tools
Such tools have found a natural home in distance education
where they provide remote students with a way to interact
with each other and the instructor. Ideal for "learner
guidance" and "practice/feedback" elements
of instruction, conferencing areas on the web are the most
effective and active areas of development today.
