Review: Avallain Author Training Programme and Certification

Avallain Author is software for authoring eLearning activities and courses. Apparently, lots of ELT publishers use Avallain to create digital resources. I recently completed a training course on using this software…

Why did I do the training programme?

Just upskilling.

I’ve written digital resources for publishers before, like digital practice activities for coursebooks. That involved writing into a Word template, with someone else (no idea, maybe the development editor? I didn’t ask) converting my content into interactive resources using software like Avallain.

The digital authoring contracts I’ve been offered in recent years have involved writing directly into a digital tool. I figured that some formal training on one of these tools would be worthwhile. Cover both bases, learn something new, etc.
