Foreword

In today's world, the use of devices across all areas of work, home, and travel has become a way of life. Users look at eLearning in the same way as they look at other sources of information, be it news, entertainment, or e-mail. Organizations, schools, and universities worldwide design learning strategies around changes in learner behavior. Also, the pace of transition from pure classroom training to blended or pure eLearning has never been faster. However, the budgets allocated to developing and delivering this content have not grown.

As we evolve through this phase to create more effective and engaging learning content, there is a need to maximize the utility of the tools available and use them productively to achieve our goals of content creation. The need to produce high-quality content without compromising the time taken to create it remains the paramount requirement.
