As we gain experience with new learning modalities, we have come to realize that most learning takes place outside of the formal setting. In addition, as we gain experience with new technologies, we have come to realize that we no longer have to confine our designs to a “virtual” classroom. So why haven’t we done a better job of combining these realizations?

E-Learning producers are responsible for more than content and code. Every project involves concerns about budget, licensing, and support from tool vendors. Selecting authoring tools means accepting inflexible features and the risk of “vendor lock-in.” Open source software can solve most, if not all, of these problems, if you understand what it is and how to use it in your project.

E-Learning development since 1997 has mostly been an HTML-based process. However, this works against easy re-use of content and single-source authoring for presentation in multiple formats. The alternative is the XML-based production model, which has suffered from a lack of familiar tools and from a lack of support from organizations in spite of its inherent advantages.

As social software (blogs, Podcasts, and wikis are just three examples) matures, it presents more opportunities for learners to participate actively in their own learning. Designers can now move significant learning opportunities out of “event mode” and support construction of knowledge and skill beyond the classroom and beyond traditional asynchronous e-Learning.

As e-Learning producers become more sensitive to the needs of disabled learners, and as Flash-based content in e-Learning increases, developers are faced with a dilemma. How can learners with vision, hearing, motor, or cognitive impairments use multimedia content that depends on a mouse for control, and on a monitor and speakers for delivery? Here are some tips on ways to solve these problems.
