Authoring tools is a software used to create eLearning and other digital content. I use them to develop beautiful and accessible online learning experiences - from visually appealing presentations to interactive HTML5 elements and videos.

As a learning designer, I am used to using Learning Management Systems. LMS host the developed content and take care of tracking results, security, enrollment and multiple other tasks. Some of them also offer the ability to create content within the platform.

Technical skills allow designers and content developers to build and customise online learning courses, websites and their elements. I am competent in using most of the essential web development languages.

Designing and developing digital content goes beyond using software tools. It requires a good sense of design, an understanding of fundamental design principles and considering good user experience and design accessibility.

Developing multimedia means generating and manipulating graphic images, animations, sound, text and video and consolidating them into seamless interactive training, data presentation or entertainment and educational products.

Designers need to know more than design tools and principles. There are essential soft skills of our trade. I developed and perfected them with practice and self-motivation to stay organised and effective in my digital design work.
