eXe - Authoring Tool for Teachers


eXe is an excellent tool for teachers that enables them to create content and publish it as well. eXe is a pedaogogy driven software and is quite easy to use for a teacher. The teacher do not require any knowledge about HTML and can still create course websites in an offline mode for electronic distribution to students, etc. The best part about eXe is that there are very frequent updations to the package and new features are added regularly. The teachers would feel very comfortable using the tool. The software can be downloaded from http://www.exelearning.org/ . Few issues of concern are as mentioned below:


1. Firefox browser is required for eXe. Since eXe is an open source project and so it runs on Firefox only.


2. The course can be saved in .elp format ( eXe format) using 'Save' option so that it could be edited later.


3. For distributing to students the course can be delivered in various formats using 'Export' option.


4. Always exit the eXe using 'Quit' option under File.
