Shortcomings include an inability to create anything other than the simplest assessments, an inability to communicate at the detail level with learning management systems, static page-turning content, and limited use of audio/video/animation - among many others.Mr. Vikas Joshi, CMD, Harbinger Group, adds: As the report points out, several of the popular authoring tools such as Word and PowerPoint are general-purpose content creation tools.
