Easy and powerful e-Learning authoring
Ease of use is very important for an
authoring tool; this becomes even more important since subject
matter experts participate more and more in the development
process. For easygenerator this is one of our main focal points.
That makes sense when your name is easygenerator.
One of the reasons easygenerator is so easy
to use, is our intuitive interface. You don't need a three day
course. Probably the most important thing is the What You See Is
What You Get Editor. As an author you work in an e-Learning module
that shows exactly the same representation as the learner sees, the
only difference is that an author can edit. Thanks to this, you
always know what you are doing and what the effects of your actions
are for the learner.
Because we believe that one has to improve
on one's strong points, we constantly work on improving the
usability. We made the toolbars adjustable. You can now hide them
or place them in your preferred location. Enabling you to create
the interface you want. Another improvement is that you can expand
and collapse the table of content, making almost your entire screen
available for editing. These are small but important changes. We
added a big change too: our rights and role model. The idea is that
each user only sees the functions that he needs, making the
interface even more easy to use. We have seven different roles,
from a reviewer up to an administrator.
And yet, at the same time easygenerator is
a very powerful tool. You can embed audio, video, animations,
YouTube videos and even external media with ease. You can create
complex branching scenarios (based on learning outcomes) without
programming and develop custom functionality with easygenerator's
open API.
