I have been exposed to quite a bit of microsoft product lately - an in depth look at SharePoint 2007 and the other day while looking for something I stumbled across Microsoft's Learning Content Development System which is an eLearning Authoring Tool. You can download it for free at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/training/lcds.aspx. This is what is called the community version which means it is free because there are still some bugs in it. I found it mentioned on a list of applications that work within Moodle as zipped scorm compliant courses. So the idea is that you build a course, zip it up, upload it to Moodle and there is your course. You can also deliver the course standalone via a browser. Some of the interactions use Silverlight which is Microsoft's answer to Flash. Try it out and let me know if you think it is useful.

On another note, my borther Grant in searching for some of his resources came across an interesting resource link that has links to all sorts of tools and resource objects. You can check this out at http://etc.usf.edu/presentations/sitemap/index.html
