Reactor XC (Figure 4) is a content creation tool for the e-learning industry, offering end-to-end authoring and distribution with a full range of powerful features that enable instructors to efficiently produce rich interactive e-learning on any scale. It is compliant with SCORM 1.2 and fully supports the core sentiment of “interoperability, accessibility and reusability”. It allows the user to merge any combination of media and complex data sources such as Microsoft NetMeeting or PowerPoint into interactive learning experience to be viewed in a standard Web browser (Etiro, 2004).
Reactor XC uses XML and XHTML to package a powerful combination of Web-technologies (Etiro, 2004)
· Microsoft VML for vector graphics
· Microsoft HTML + TIME for dynamics
· JavaScript for interactivity
· SCORM and Microsoft LRN for course structure and LMS interfacing
Main features of this authoring tool are course structure, templates, dynamic content and animation, working with LMS and creating interactivity using JavaScript.

Similar with Elicitus, Reactor XC also does not have any instructional design feature to enable instructors to plan, design, analyse and evaluate while they author the content. Nevertheless, they do have reusable feature.
The above framework and requirements form the basis for our own authoring tool, the OntoID described in the next section. Our focus is not merely on the development of Web pages but rather on the facilitation of the whole instructional design process. Two main aspects are discussed: automating instructional design and reusability.
