Create 4.1.1 Define and Explain Learning Object Authoring Tools Quest

A learning object is a stand alone piece of learning. This quest explores a variety of different learning object authoring tools that are available for free and several that are available for a fee. 

1. Slideshare is a presentation tool much like powerpoint, however, it is web based. 

2. What2Learn is a game site that shares educational activities. Instructors are able to make their own games to use in their classroom. 

3. Blabberize is a learning object authoring tool that allows the user to add audio to an image. This is great!

The following learning object authoring tools are available for a cost. 

4. Storyline is a great resource if an instructor is creating a course on his/her own. It is very expensive

5. Explain Everything seems like a waste of money to me.  They advertise that instructors can upload any document or presentation and then they will create an annotated interactive whiteboard. Active inspire can be put on any computer for free.  With that program any document of presentation can already be annotated by clicking annotate over desk top. Simple and free.
