Authoring tools are used to merge small pieces of information such as text, images, audio, video, etc. into digital teaching materials. You can easily link the teaching material you create with this to a digital learning environment. As a user, you do not need any technical programming knowledge to use an authoring tool for e-learning. A good authoring tool is designed in such a way that the interface is understandable and that you can combine elements and make them interactive, without extensive technical knowledge being required.<\/p>\n<h2>Different types of authoring tools<\/h2>\n<p>The main function of an authoring tool is to create digital teaching materials for e-learning. However, there are many different types of authoring tools.

The tool is aimed at educational publishers who want to create interactive digital teaching materials. Although the tool is fairly new, it was developed by Grafi Offshore, a company that has been active in the production of digital learning materials and building Apprentice Management Systems for publishers for almost 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>The advantage of LesLinq is that product development is very fast: new options are added every week, such as more extensive video interaction options, animation, testing and templates.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>LesLinq is an online authoring tool with extensive functionalities. An important feature is the open canvas that you can arrange however you want. It is possible to add text, images, buttons, shapes, video and audio. It is also possible to record your own audio and video in LesLinq. The tool is linked to the Unsplash image bank, so that in addition to own material, the user also has a wide choice of external image material. LesLinq has a 'collaborate' function to collaborate on digital teaching materials.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Interactivity<\/h3>\n<p>LesLinq offers many possibilities to add interactivity. You can link one or more 'actions' to each element that you add to the open canvas.<\/p>\n<p>Types of Actions that can be used are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open URL<\/li>\n<li>Go to page<\/li>\n<li>Change property<\/li>\n<li>Change style<\/li>\n<li>Animate<\/li>\n<li>Play \/ stop audio<\/li>\n<li>Play \/ stop video<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can link separate styling elements to each individual element, such as color or transparency. Fade, zoom, slide in\u2026 In combination with the Actions, the possibilities to make elements interactive are endless.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>LesLinq is easy to use, the learning curve is low. Technical knowledge is not necessary to create a fully interactive lesson in a short time. The big advantage of LesLinq is that it has been developed more recently with newer technology and does not carry the 'legacy' that older tools can suffer from. Do you only want to be able to develop simple, standard lessons? Compared to other tools, LesLinq has even fewer standard templates available. Because LesLinq has been around for a little longer, the database of templates is still under development. There is, however, the possibility to include pre-developed interaction sets, such as timelines and maps with hotspots, in your lesson and to adapt these to the style of the method\/course.<\/p>\n<h3>Import\/export options<\/h3>\n<p>LesLinq offers the possibility to import various file formats, such as Powerpoint, PDF, Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop, and further edit them in LesLinq. Lessons can be shared via an online link, but it is also possible to download lesson materials as HTML5 file. In addition, it is possible to custom integrate LesLinq with any desired LMS.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>2. LessonUp<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lesson-up-website.jpg\" width=\"613\" height=\"345\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1475 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lesson-up-website.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/lesson-up-website-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 613px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>General info<\/h3>\n<p>LessonUp is an online authoring tool that allows teachers to create varied interactive lessons using video, images, interactive questions and quizzes. The tool is characterized by a large amount of ready-to-use teaching material that can also be reused. All lessons developed in LessonUp are 'open'. Teachers can share knowledge very easily and be inspired by each other. LessonUp works with fixed templates and is very easy to use. This makes it very easy for teachers to develop a digital lesson. For publishers, LessonUp offers the possibility to offer lessons through a fixed channel.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>The program collects all videos, quizzes and other information about a subject or lesson and puts this in an attractive jacket. When you create a new lesson, you can choose from a slide, video, image, website, Google Map, Powerpoint. It is also possible to add question types, such as a quiz question, word web, open question, photo question or drag question.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Interactivity<\/h3>\n<p>LessonUp works with fixed elements and templates. It is possible to add predefined interactivity, but within the fixed frameworks there is little room for flexibility.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>Because LessonUp works with fixed elements, it is very easy to use. The learning curve is low.<\/p>\n<h3>Import\/export options<\/h3>\n<p>LessonUp offers few import and export options, which is the biggest disadvantage for use by publishers. All lessons are stored online on the LessonUp platform.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Hihaho<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hihaho-website.jpg\" width=\"613\" height=\"345\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1472 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hihaho-website.jpg 613w, https:\/\/www.leslinq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/hihaho-website-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) 613px, 100vw\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>General info<\/h3>\n<p>Hihaho mainly focuses on making interactive videos. The tool is great for adding interactions to videos.<\/p>\n<p>Elements that you can add to a video are, for example, questions, tables of contents, pop-up menus, transparent clickable layers, hotspots, texts, images and sound.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>Hihaho's functionality consists of 2 types: on the one hand, actions relate to the course of the video. It is possible to pause the video or jump to another part of the video. On the other hand, it is possible to overlay a functionality layer over a video.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Interactivity<\/h3>\n<p>Hihaho is suitable for adding interactivity to video.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>Good. Hihaho has a modern interface and is fairly easy to master.<\/p>\n<h3>Import\/export options<\/h3>\n<p>Integration with Content Management Systems and Student Management Systems possible via an API. The tool is based on video, the output is always video.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<h2>4.

With the tool you can upload videos and put interactive layers on top of them.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>Mainly related to videos. You can put interactive layers over videos and dynamically jump videos to show dynamic content depending on the viewer.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Interactivity<\/h3>\n<p>Limited to layering over videos.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>Complicated to use. They call it a simple drag-and-drop editor themselves, but the interface looks a bit old-fashioned and sounds from the market indicate that the learning curve is high.<\/p>\n<h3>Import\/export options<\/h3>\n<p>Only possibilities to embed video online.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>5.

The user chooses a photo or video as wallpaper and adds hotspots to it A hotspot is a pop-up containing in-depth information and\/or multimedia such as text, video, images, audio or other embedded content.<\/p>\n<p>De gemaakte Explorit wordt gedeeld als html en gedistribueerd als link in een mail met WhatsApp etc.<\/p>\n<h3>Functionality<\/h3>\n<p>Compared to other authoring tools, Explorit's functionality is quite limited. You create separate 'hotspot' layers that you link together to form a layered end product. You are bound to a fixed structure with little room for your own design.<\/p>\n<h3>Level of Interactivity<\/h3>\n<p>By adding text, video or audio to a photo or video you turn it into an interactive product.<\/p>\n<h3>Ease of use<\/h3>\n<p>Explorit seems very simple to use. The learning curve is low.<\/p>\n<h3>Import\/export options<\/h3>\n<p>The interactive content is shared as a link.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Which authoring tool is best?<\/h2>\n<p>Let's be honest: there is no unequivocal answer to this. Which authoring tool is best for you depends on a number of factors, such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the functionalities you are looking for<\/li>\n<li>the level of interactivity you want to use<\/li>\n<li>the degree of flexibility you are looking for with regard to the use of fixed elements and templates<\/li>\n<li>how important you find the freedom of your own design<\/li>\n<li>do you want an open canvas or not?<\/li>\n<li>the amount of e-learning material you want to create<\/li>\n<li>your technical knowledge<\/li>\n<li>I budget<\/li>\n<li>etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Hopefully you found this review helpful and helped you choose the authoring tool that's best for you.<\/p>\n<p>Almost every authoring tool offers you the possibility to request a demo.
