But when I looked back at my post, I realized that I had cut off quite a few authoring tools because I had only included reports where the number of evaluations was 15 or more.

Over the years, I have used ToolBook, Trainersoft, and even Dreamweaver with Coursebuilder. It has gotten to a point where some of my courses are all developed in Flash and the e-learning authoring tools (DHTML) have been used more as a "shell" that decompiles it as a SCORM package.

As the evolution of e-learning continues, the rapid content authoring tools (RCAT) market follows suit.

To tackle such issues, companies should resort to using rapid authoring tools for a hassle-free experience.
