Given my elearning industry background I have had the opportunity to interact with the leading elearning development and management tools that are available.
Everything from rapid elearning creation programs, instructional design theories and best-practice, and countless learning management systems. I remember working with Moodle, Oracle LMS, modified versions of eFront, and homegrown systems developed from scratch.
Interacting with all these tools was not only fun, but also taught me a lot about the industry. One of the most important lessons I learned was that there is no such thing as the “perfect” tool.
Maybe this is due to our human nature. We always believe that something better is out there and we refuse to settle. In many ways this is beneficial as it forces us to keep improving at everything we do. At some point though, too much of this thought pattern can disrupt productivity.
