I&#8217;ve been arguing for at least a year now that one of the next places we need to focus our attention on is better tools for authoring, especially for authoring XML-based, standards compliant elearning content. XML is not a fringe technology, and it&#8217;s far past the time when we should be requiring content in higher ed to be well structured and easily re-published in other formats, something I take it that these editors can help with and that continuing with outmoded HTML editors doesn&#8217;t. Britain acknowledges that there are potentially far more tools to examine than the 4 he compares eXe with (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.burrokeet.org\/\">Burrokeet<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trivantis.com\/\">Lectora<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.softchalk.com\">SoftChalk Lesson Builder<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lersus.com\/\">Lersus<\/a>); I would have liked to see at least <a href=\"http:\/\/www.thinkingcap.info\/Pages\/Common\/ContentPage.aspx?src=main\/studio.xml\">ThinkingCap Studio<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usq.edu.au\/dec\/staff\/ice.htm\">ICE System<\/a> in there as well, and to this end am hoping we at Edutools can get a comparative analysis project going to look at these and more. [If you have a pot of money lying around \ud83d\ude09 and would like to see such a comparison happen, please feel free to contact me.] Still, a good overview and introduction to the issue. &#8211; <em>SWL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>http:\/\/eduforge.org\/docman\/view.php\/20\/243\/ eXe_report_sbritain.pdf This report by Sandy Britain was commissioned by the University of Auckland and released back in April, but I only just stumbled upon it.
