How many audiences are being targeted? What skills are already present on your staff? Can you produce SCORM/AICC-compliant courses?

"There are many of questions you need to answer in order to decide which tool is the best for your organization. You may determine that one tool is not going to serve all your needs. Also, you want to think about what you are building now, and what you might want to build in the future," said Schneider during the discussion with Craig Olson, GeoLearning's director of marketing. The two discussed course authoring tools that produce content that can be launched by the GeoMaestro™ LMS and supported by GeoLearning's Managed Learning Services.
