Questions Regarding E learning Tools

I was interviewed once regarding some questions about electronic learning. As an expert, I answered the questions as exhaustively as I could, but here in this post, I will only put the highlights in easy to understand terms for any layman.

Question: What can you say about the E learning tools in the Market today?
-There are only a few options in the market that I find to be reliable. Of course, the ever pervasive, ever basic Power Point is still, in my opinion, the most useful and reliable still. There are not enough elearning tools available in the market? I firmly believe this. Well, perhaps this is a personal standpoint. I think that my creative vision cannot be expressed fully since I am limited by the severely lacking capabilities of the electronic learning tools available in the market today.

Question: What considerations must be taken into account before buying e learning tools?
-This is a much more difficult question to answer because there are so many considerations that must be made. But I believe that the first question that must be taken into account is: What kind of functionality do I need in order to do my job? The next thing that should be answered is: what do my students need or what is the best output I can do?

Of course, depending on the situation, one must also consider the resources such as the amount of time that it might take to master an e learning software, the price, etc. Is it better to have a hosted solution or a turn key solution? There are just so many different questions that need to be asked before one finally decides on the best electronic education tools to purchase. It is a pretty big decision especially since such learning tools do not really come cheap nowadays.

Turnitin has become part of campus culture all over the country, and faculty members are simply over the moon about it. According to them, one of the cleverest features they enjoy is how it deters student from plagiarism. Students have been forced to work well and genuinely exert effort on the quality and authenticity of their work considering that their paper will be submitted through a service that has anti-plagiarism tools. However, to some, the changes in students are more important. By having to submit through turnitin.com, students became more responsible since they have to upload their work at a set due date.

Grademark gives teachers or instructors the opportunity to grade and comment on student work submissions through a full-featured digital environment. The feature that makes it a truly reliable tool are the following: it allows inline highlighting of text, marginal commenting, predefined palettes for inline comments, standard proofreading marks, punctuation and common grammatical errors, user-defined palettes for inline comments, a generous space for numerous general comments, and user-defined rubrics.
All in all, I think that this elearning tool is definitely something significant both online, and in a traditional classroom setup. It provides instructors with ease and convenience and helps them to cut down on lost time grading mountains of hard copies of paperwork.
