Recent discussion on the Sakai mailing lists has highlighted three interesting free content creation systems

1. http://www.udutu.com/
2. http://exelearning.org/
3. http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/

Here’s what their websites say:

“MyUdutu™ is a FREE web-based tool which provides a user friendly platform to create highly interactive elearning courses quickly and easily. Anyone can design, build and implement online training courses without any prior technological expertise.”

“The eXe project developed 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. Resources authored in eXe can be exported in IMS Content Package, SCORM 1.2, or IMS Common Cartridge formats or as simple self-contained web pages.”

“Xerte is a fully-featured e-learning development environment for creating rich interactivity. Xerte is aimed at developers of interactive content who will create sophisticated content with some scripting, and Xerte can be used to extend the capabilities of Xerte Online Toolkits with new tools for content authors.”
