A few weeks ago, we took you to the e-Learning jungle to examine your LMS’s survival skills. Today, get ready to say “Awww” because we’re taking a look at the characteristics of your authoring tool that would make it the top dog in the e-Learning world. That’s right—puppies galore.
Take your authoring tool for a walk, and see if it’s like these top dogs:
American Eskimo—Intelligent and easy to train.
If you’re looking for smart and easily trainable, the American Eskimo dog is for you. This dog is intelligent and a creative problem solver, plus it’s easy to teach him new tricks. And for your authoring tool, you need something that’s easy to learn. An intuitive interface is key; your authoring tool needs to be smart enough for you to create what you want—easily.
Black Lab—Ready to help you succeed.
Black labs are often used as service dogs because they’re smart. Labradors (some say the black ones, especially) excel at roles like search and rescues, seeing eye dogs, etc. As service dogs, many black labs help people achieve their goals. Your authoring tool should do the same, helping you create effective e-Learning with maximum ROI.
Corgi—Playful and ready to engage everyone he meets.
Corgis enjoy engaging their humans in playtime, which is why they’re great for entertaining kids. They have a lively spirit that’s irresistibly lovable. Just like the Corgi, you want your authoring tool to be able to engage your employees by making it easy for you to create interactive, exciting content. You wouldn’t settle for a boring pet, so don’t settle for a boring training program either!
Golden Retriever—Always there when you need him.
This guy is loyal. A golden retriever is a pet that you know you can always depend on; that’s exactly what you want from your authoring tool. Make sure yours has a support community that’s always there when you need it. Access to free resources like webinars, video tutorials and blog posts is important. Also, you want to ask fellow users of that authoring tool for tips and tricks that they’ve found successful.
