Content creation tools are the tools that course designers and teachers use to create the content in online education courses. The content creation tools are used to develop learning material. There are many types of content such as for example plain text, slides, graphics, pictures, animations, simulations, assessments, audio, video etc. Typical examples of theses systems are DreamWeaver, FrontPage, Word, PowerPoint, and Director.
