In order to program online learning, there are some basic necessities: the ability to create graphics, to create multimedia elements, and to program the web code. Which tool does this best if you are a newcomer? What about if you are a seasoned developer? Which tool meets your needs and which will leave you wanting more?

By the end of this workshop, you will be able to:
• Classify the elements of a good e-learning software design suite and be able to describe what tool types you will need to create online learning
• Assess your skill level to determine what type of software suite will meet your needs
• Distinguish between three separate tool sets and appraise each tool suite to determine the features and benefits of each software package.
