Formal training is a key part of the learning ecosystem. As such, it is critical to ensure the content created for formal learning is of high quality, accessible, and able to produce different types of content. Many organization’s content strategies fail because they selected the wrong authoring tool for their environment and culture.

In this session you will explore the variety of factors you must consider when making an authoring tool decision. You will learn the benefits and limitations of online versus desktop authoring tools, and how to choose a tool that efficiently handles development for desktop, mobile, performance support, and more. You’ll also explore how to match your tool selection against your team’s skill set. You’ll leave this session with a list of questions you need to be asking, and an evaluation framework to help guide you through the tool-selection process.
