The 5 Best eLearning Authoring Tools: Top Picks for 2020

1

iSpring Suite

iSpring Suite is a fully-featured eLearning solution focused on making rapid content development easy and intuitive. A major plus of iSpring Suite is that the core authoring tool works as a PowerPoint add-in, which makes for a familiar interface that is very easy to use.

Adobe Captivate

There’s no special dedicated tool for building conversation simulations or character-driven dialogs in Adobe Captivate, so if these are a big part of your training design, it may not be the best pick. However, Captivate is traditionally a preferred choice for developing software simulations with the help of effects, triggers, and slide settings. This allows for a lot of versatility in creating realistic simulations and presenting them to users in different modes, e.g. see it, try it, do it.

Articulate 360

Like iSpring Suite, Articulate 360 has a full set of tools for adding different objects to slides, as well as a Content Library, which is a collection of course templates, backgrounds, characters, controls, and icons. It includes fewer professionally-designed assets, but gives access to 4.5+ million stock photos, illustrations, and icons via an online library.

A big focus of the Lectora product range has always been compliance with web content accessibility guidelines (WCAG). This ensures that any course created in Lectora Online will be accessible to those with disabilities such as hearing or vision impairment. If you work in or develop content for federal government organizations, this is a good choice.

Elucidat

Elucidat aims to be an all-in-one cloud-based solution for creating high-quality eLearning, managing content at scale, and analyzing performance. It has all the features you’d expect from an HTML5 authoring platform: templates, resource, video and audio management, a mobile responsive editor, a layout designer, and the usual interactive elements you’d expect such as buttons, flip cards, and input boxes.
