best e-learning tools? (to make a website for others to learn)

#26
While creating my website I try to think about what I as a learner of Japanese look for personally. As most of the time personal approaches and needs aren't unique, I think this might work best. Of course it depends on the material you are covering.

Also, I think you should try and think of something that makes you stand out. Try and come up with something new, as there are so many good websites already.

You should also look at standard Content Management Systems that offer plugins for e-learning modules, such as Joomla and Drupal. You could also use something like wordpress and custom build the e-learning portion yourself, or have someone build it for you. In the end, however, a content management system or pure LMS is probably the better choice.

I would stay clear from adobe captivate. Neither myself nor any of my colleagues like it. It contains a number of bizarre bugs that require some expertise with the tool to work around. I would personally try and keep as much material in the LMS as possible. Find an LMS with built-in quiz features, for example.

Learndash looks interesting. I don't have any experience with it, however.
Thank you for the advice.
Learndash seems one of the best ways to go, but curiously, I thought that one of the pluses was the integration with Adobe Captivate which I thought about using.
Thank you for the warning.
