E-authoring tools like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate have had a transformative impact on education. They allow teachers and course writers to quickly create visually appealing, interactive learning materials. Despite these benefits, their uptake often remains restricted to small circles of enthusiasts.

Today I talk to David Read from the University of Sheffield about and the benefits and potential challenges faced by teachers in adopting these technologies. We talk through the benefits of interactive digital content, the evolution of teaching methodologies, and the critical role of training and support in successful technology integration. We also explore the use of AI in content creation and the future of educational technologies. Perfect for educators, learning designers, and technology enthusiasts seeking to enhance their teaching and learning processes. Finally, we discuss how teachers and materials writers can get started with their own digital projects.

David Read is Academic Director for Technology Enhanced Learning at the University of Sheffield. He has been involved in language teaching for over 20 years, and recently spearheaded the introduction of e-authoring tools in the language provision at Sheffield.
