Introduction

As corporate e-learning was often synonymous with complex and expensive animations a few years ago, it was virtually useless in smaller companies. However, times are changing and the essence of e-learning too. Nowadays, we increasingly encounter the need to deliver learning content clearly and efficiently with no need of complex animation or complicated interactivity of a learner and the content.

Efficient e-learning in a modern company is at the heart of the matter and that is to deliver a study content to an employee and capture its (not) understanding. During our work on e-learning since 2005, we found out that one of the most common causes of e-learning implementation failure was the study content or its creation. Though there are a number of tools for creating educational content on the market (Authoring tools), their prices are not low. Moreover, learning how to work with these tools requires a lot of time. And because the time is also money, the price of e-learning ultimately rises. Having an e-learning course created by an external company is extremely expensive and inefficient.

Analysis

We have therefore analysed the most common forms of educational content that small and medium-sized businesses deliver to their employees. Mostly they are legally stipulated trainings, or internal regulations in the form of common study texts supplemented with pictures, or common PowerPoint presentations or just simple quiz questions for interaction with the employee. The punchline is simple and that is first to deliver study content and then get back the information whether the employee has understood the content of study or not.

Solution

On the basis of the knowledge, we have decided to create a simple authoring tool for small and medium-sized businesses, trainers and education organizations that need to deliver a simple form of learning content to their employees or clients. Thus, FineCreator has been created as a simple web-based tool for creating e-learning courses without any programming knowledge.
