They may have interactive multimedia capabilities and the ability to publish content in a variety of formates (SCORM, HTML, CD Rom, LMS, etc.).

The eXe Project: An eLearning xHTML editor
Today, I came across this on going, open source eLearning xHTML editor called, eXe.
According to the CLPT website (Center for Learning & Performance Technologies), it is considered one of the Top 100 Authoring Tools amongst eLearning professionals….hmmmm? :-X
Anywho, eXe allows teachers and designers to edit HTML for online lesson authoring; it also easily integrates into many LMS (Learning Managment Systems, i.e. Blackboard & WebCt).
More of my work is demanding HTML and XML for web-based content, therefore this may be a solution to my disease, LIPLL (Low-Intermediate Programming Language Literacy, pronounced “lipple” 
). So, I figured I would download eXe and give it a go!
…review to come in a later post.
