Elicitus Content Publisher (Figure 3) is another interesting authoring tool in the market. It is claimed to be an inexpensive authoring tool for quickly creating e-learning courses. Instructors can create courses using templates and then can deliver the courses via CD-ROM, Intranet, and Internet or integrate it with a Learning Management System (LMS). Elicitus enables instructors to publish courses and host them on their Learning Management System with AICC or SCORM compliance. This way they can track their learners' progress closely, and reuse course contents (Elicitus, 2004).
A course can have several learning units. Each learning unit can have many lessons and each lesson will have topic pages. The topic pages contain the content of the course. The entire course can have a multimedia glossary created through Elicitus ’s Glossary Builder. A course can end with an assessment to check the student’s understanding of the subject. An exercise is an optional component of a topic page, meant to assess the student’s understanding of the topic. Once an exercise is attached to a topic page, it will be displayed to the student before the student goes to the next topic page. The student can quit from the exercise and go the next topic page without doing the exercise.
Main features of this authoring tool are Course Outline Editor, Question Bank Editor and Glossary Builder. Besides these three important features, they also have assessment, import learning object and templates. Although Elicitus has good features in creating content, online self assessment and reusability issue is addressed, it does not have any instructional design features to enable instructors to plan, design, analyse and evaluate while they author the content.
