Which platform/authoring tool do you prefer to give online courses ?

[#1]

Hello everyone ! I hope everything is going well for you !

I'm new to the group and Atlassian Community in general so I'm happy to share this article with you, which is more of a discussion really 🙂

During my short career of Atlassian Consultant and in the course of my studies I had the opportunity to give a lot of classes and trainings, I for instance contributed to the creation of a training to a Scaling Agile model. Education and training is very important to me and I hope I am going to be able to keep working close to this domain as long as possible !

In this very special period of Covid, education is currently shifting towards online technologies and e-learning takes a more and more important role in it. As a result, companies are adapting to the situation, resulting in the appearance of numerous platforms and softwares dedicated to the creation of Educational content or e-learning : Authoring Tools. 

I had the brief opportunity to use Lectora, an authoring tool that allows the creation of interactive training documents directly from the Cloud. It offers a very wide range of functionalities and is quite easy to use. I would recommend it if you're looking for an easy way to create e-learning courses, its main default being to me that it I found it a little bit "Old-School" and that it doesn't look very modern.

What do you think about the current migration towards e-learning ? Did you have the chance to use any Authoring Tool in the past ? Which authoring tool do you use and why ?

Hi @Guilhem Dupuy  !

I have personnaly used the Atlassian University e-learning tool, I'm not sure what's the technical platform behind it however.

It's quite easy to use and provides transcript which I find very useful when I can't watch the videos.

Thank you for your answer Alexis ! I agree with you, I took some classes which use this tool too and I liked them too

Hi @Guilhem Dupuy and @Alexis Robert may I know the name of "Atlassian University e-learning tool" and any weblink to check.

[Guilhem Dupuy]

Hi @G subramanyam , you can find Atlassian course catalog here.

Hi @Guilhem Dupuy The link you shared is taking me to courses section, but not giving any clue as to which tool that's been used in making the course!

[Guilhem Dupuy]

Oh @G subramanyam I misunderstood your question, I actually don't know which tool Atlassian is using to make their course (and as far as I know they use several tools).

You can try and contact them directly if you're looking for this information !

[G subramanyam]

Thank you @Guilhem Dupuy

I'm interested in the tool name and yes, I will have to reach them.

I would also be interested to know which Toll was used for the courses @G subramanyam . It is really very appealing and has a good user interface. Does anyone know the name of the tool?

[Feigl]

Now it is clear. The learning platform is Intellum and the authoring tool is called Evolve. Both together create this beautiful learning environment from Atlassian.
