eXe

The eXe project is developing a freely available Open Source authoring application to assist teachers and academics in the publishing of web content without the need to become proficient in HTML or XML markup. eXe can export content as self-contained web pages or as SCORM 1.2 or IMS Content Packages.

Comments from those who selected eXe as one of their Top 10 Tools in 2008

• "OpenSource: Create learning resources export it as a webpage, SCORM or IMS standard packages to import in almost every VLE. The eXe project was conceived to address the use of technology in the design and authoring of learning resources for the web. Initial research showed that while there are many web authoring tools available their usability and sophistication varied considerably."  Andreas Büsing

• "eXe is a simple website authoring tool which can be used by course designers (part-time online, full-time teachers) to create the bones and basic content for courses. eXe is simple and robust and can create SCORM or IMS standard packages for integration into VLEs such as Moodle, WebCT and Fronter. I use eXe myself and we (my team) use it to show content writers how to use to empower them to create much of the course content."  Seaghan Moriarty
