Paragraph from Jodi Zeigler - Authoring tools are tools used to assemble a course as a whole. These tools offer features that allow you to compile course elements such as text, graphics, and questions (Tools of the trade, n.d). The features, software, and pricing for these tools can vary significantly. Authoring tools can range from web authoring, HTML editors, media and application tools, course authoring, and PowerPoint authoring tools. Authoring tools have so many different features it is necessary to research to make a decision on what features are needed to build into individualized courses.
Jodi - You have really explained the differences between element and authoring tools. This is an area where most individuals think that they are both the same.
The authoring tool is the collaboration application as you simply stated previously. It manages all of your data and allows you to create, but the element tool is equally important. You have to be able to create the elements that need to be used. You have addressed it with great detail.
