1. Authoring Tools for eLearning Courses.
      Overview

Disadvantages of slide based multimedia tools:

-          It is difficult to control complex animations in their temporal progress

 

Timeline based authoring tools:

Like an animated cartoon film these tools use a timeline with a huge amount of little timeframes to represent the multimedia content.
A typical timeline based authoring tool is Macromedia Flash.

 

Advantages of timeline based multimedia tools:

-          They are an understandable representation of continuous media like films, videos

-          It is easy to control animations in their temporal progress
