Content creation software
(https://ddi-dev.com/uploads/content-creation-software.png)
This type of software enables businesses and governmental bodies to create or curate content
for their learning initiatives. Moreover, content creation products can offer features that help in
planning and managing learning activities by both internal and external parties involved in the
content creation, or they can enable teams to curate content. Generally, content creation
software includes authoring tools and learning content management systems (LCMS). Let’s delve
into details below:
Authoring Tools
An authoring tool is a software that allows users to create and arrange content into a
standardized course structure. Then this structure can be exported in several different
multimedia types. Also, they can add interactive elements such as quizzes, video, or drag and
drop tasks. With authoring tools not only can content creators seamlessly create content on the
web, smartphones, and tablets, but also they can offer students of all ages the best possible
learning experience. Authoring tools are the best fit for:
e-learning developers who work with multiple customers and need to create different types
of learning content or need to deliver original customized items from scratch.
large e-learning departments with complex tasks (different types of courses, various
mechanics, etc.);
small companies that don’t have dedicated specialists for developing and designing e-
courses.
situations when you need to create a certain training format or using it as an additional tool
to make the authoring process easier.
Learning Content Management Systems (LCMS)
This type of e-learning software used to create, manage, host and track digital learning content.
It’s a great one-stop-shop solution if you need a system from creation to delivery. Learning
content management systems are the best fit in the following situations:
you create your digital learning in-house and don’t want to pay for additional tools to create
and deliver your e-learning solution;
you want efficient workflows to decrease the amount of time spent authoring e-learning;
you are interested in detailed analytics on how users interact with your modules and want to
track it using xAPI rather than SCORM.
Content creation: this feature allows you to quickly build content, add interactive elements,
then preview and publish your content.
Templates for course creation: this feature helps you to quickly organize your ideas into
the desired blocks and components and form a course content in a completely different way.

Online course platform
It is a type of learning management systems (LMS) that provides users with access to digital
classes and includes a dedicated fully-responsive website experience, easy content uploads, the
ability to edit the look and feel of the class, marketing features, course completion certificates, a
sales funnel, etc.
E-learning portal
It’s a type of LMS software that provides a learner-centred approach and often organized around
the current and future capability needs of the organisation. It’s also considered as a perfect place
for curated content.
It’s a content delivery system designed to create more personalized learning experiences and
help users discover new learning opportunities. By combining learning contents from different
sources, recommending and delivering them with the support of Artificial Intelligence technology
across the digital touchpoints, e.g. desktop application, mobile learning app and others. LXPs can
be roughly divided into the following:
(https://ddi-dev.com/uploads/administration-management-software.png)
This type of software helps companies and organizations to manage an unlimited number of
administrative processes in a more efficient way.
This software helps to manage all the day-to-day operations of a training organization such as
data, communications, and scheduling. Moreover, the system generates and uses a large amount
of data that must be delivered and communicated to users in an appropriate way. It can be used
for the following:
if you need to track time table, library, biometric attendance and manage admissions;
if you need to display time table for classes;
if you need to manage the students’ along with unlimited courses and the staff across
departments;

(https://ddi-dev.com/uploads/analytics-software.png)
This software type can be integrated into your existing platforms or systems to provide top-notch
reporting and analytical capabilities for your software. Let’s find out more details below:
Learning record system used to store records about learning and brings data together from all
your learning platforms, systems, applications, and content. Moreover, it enables you to
aggregate data from existing business channels and measure, visualize and provide reports
against hard business performance data. All LRS platforms must support certain core
functionality required by the Experience API or xAPI.
With xAPI, you can get a more complete picture of the whole learning experience by evaluating
user (learner/student) task performance. In addition to that, you can get valuable insight into the
effectiveness of the performance improvement programs and tailor learning activities to the
unique each user needs.
Thanks to these platforms, you can optimize the learning environments by focusing on how
students learn and how teachers/advisors/instructors/mentors teach or curate. Moreover, it can
identify student behaviors that can lead to assumptions which impact student success. At the
same time, learning analytics can recognize the students at risk, based on student activity,
demographics, and outcomes.
Typically, LAPs use xAPI to seamlessly capture learning activity data from any learning system or
platform. A key component of any learning analytics platform is an LRS that implements xAPI
protocols to capture and store data about any learning activity or event, including:
informal learning;
social learning;
mobile learning;
game-based learning;
simulation-based learning;
e-learning courses;
classroom sessions;
conference attendance.
