Rapid authoring or rapid e-learning means the quick and cost-effective creation of multimedia learning content by you yourself. Therefore, with this type of content production, it is particularly important that you are familiar with your didactic concepts and also consistently implement them during creation of the content. Even though you don't have to be an expert in the field of multimedia technology to create challenging content, you will only be able to use rapid e-learning successfully if you have a sound didactic concept.

Clive Shepherd has looked intensively into the subject of how you can help subject matter experts to create high-quality and didactically meaningful e-learning content by themselves. He has written a Wiki article with detailed information on this subject. You can find valuable tips on the subject here.
