Just curious, I didn't see any mention of writing objectives. Shouldn't that come before developing content?

Answer
Thanks for your feedback.
We have a brief mention of writing objectives in Initial Considerations at http://www.school-for-champions.com/elearning/initialconsid.htm.
But I agree that more material is needed on objectives. We are in the process of updating the section on e-learning, especially since some of the tools mentioned are outdated.

Answer
Although there are some very expensive programs available, many developers are using web-based programs for their eLearning. For some training Microsoft PowerPoint can be effective, but it is weak in testing. Macromedia Dreamweaver with the Coursebuilder extension is good for web-based eLearning. You can also use Flash movies for animations. Also, Macromedia RoboDemo is the easiest to use for training, plus it has good testing capabilities. A more expensive solution is Authorware, but in general you can use less expensive programs.
