Specialized E-learning Tools

Based from my experiences on researching on such a topic, I have come to a conclusion, although I believe it is already an accepted truth, that elearning tools, being a product of technological advancements, follows that it likewise has a need to constantly renew and evolve in order to keep up with the changing times. Its design, processes, strategies and tools must be updated in order to meet the need of efficiency and productivity of various businesses in different industries.



In the past, the standard for developers was that an E-learning product must conform to the standards of web based HTML, Javascript and Flash. However, certain constraints prove these slightly ineffective, hence the recent need to go beyond generalist web tools. Now, there are E-learning tools used for authoring. Each of these new tools have the capabilities to function as authoring systems and at the same time deliver output similar to that of the previously standard web based files. Examples of these E-learning authoring tools are Trainersoft and DazzlerMax. To remain in pace with Trainersoft and DazzlerMax, Click2Learn developed and adapted Toolbook which allows authors to have the option to produce output directly into HTML and JavaScript.

The E-learning market is growing at such an enormous pace, that countless market entrants are exploiting a variety of new technologies and even more specialist E-learning tools in order to maximize the advantages of E-learning.

There are certainly advantages to these specialist E-learning authoring systems, but like most technology, it has disadvantages as well. These new development is beneficial because it can protect an E-learning developer from the need for expertise in specialist programming makes it easier for them to use a variety of interactive techniques, and have the ability to communicate their content with learning management systems. The disadvantage to this, on the other hand, is a certain loss of flexibility. This is because as a tool becomes easier to wield, it becomes more limited. There is less a person can do with it.

I think that in the long run, these specialist E-learning authoring tools will continue to dominate because of its contribution to better content and design. A simplified, yet specialized tool answers the need for a sensible budget and a reasonable, effective timetable as well. That’s why the loss of flexibility is but a small price to pay for progress and the many advantageous effects it would have in the industry.

Loan Modification Warnings: SCAMMERS

Yesterday, I encountered news on how everyone is relying on loan modification tips right now in order to stop foreclosure. Then I realized that this was a sign of the times. The economic recession that our country is facing is truly horrifying. But is something that is isolated? We all know that the system has to change somehow. But right now, we are just seeing some reform bills from the government; I am yet to see some radical change. And when I say radical change, I mean one that many will oppose because most true radical change always go down that way.

This makes me think of how the capitalist society of our functions. It also makes me think about the ugly side of human nature. I read that a lot of scammers are taking advantage of the economic depression. Imagine, these vermin come out of hiding because they see the opportunity for free meals in the expense of the desperate victims. Think about it this way during and after a calamity that kills a lot of animals, it is always the scavengers that are the winners.

WARNING to everyone looking for LOAN MODIFICATION
There are so many scam artists out there who smell the blood in the water after the ship called the U.S. economy was sunk.

How to SPOT SCAMMERS
Do not be fooled. One can do a loan modification by your self. It will be difficult though and a whole lot of research is necessary. But if you seek the help of a professional, be wary of outrageous claims. There are even those approved non profit organizations that are geared towards profit. Remember that those wanting upfront fees for loan modification guidance and processing is a sham. Always be vigilant and check for nearly impossible claims such as promising 100 successful modification or a lowering in the principal balance of the loan (this does happen but only rarely in special situations).
