Evidence for elearning authoring packages?

Hello John,

thank you very much for this - it has certainly added food for thought.

As a bit of background - I am a librarian  and create elearning objects for our users (healthcare students and professional staff) to help them to develop their library information skills and use our resources (databases etc). eLearning supplements our face-to-face training. I've found that about 80% of our website usage is desktop-based and the mobile access hasn't really changed much over past few years.

I use storyline3 for the skills based objects - using lots of interaction and quizzes, giving students the opportunity to develop their literature search plan.

I use MS Sway for the resources - features and benefits with lots of screen-shots and video demos. Some of my colleagues have suggested that the scrolling, scrolling, scrolling is a negative feature.

I recently looked at ThingLink (the university just got a licence), so this provides 360 images and so on but other than a tour of the library I can't see how to use it for our skills-based learning - or maybe I'm not creative enough.

Thanks again for your input.
