The six tips aren't especially interesting, and the relentless overlays begging you to subscribe or like are annoying. But the first 'tip' is actually a pretty good list of what are called 'rapid e-learning tools' - basically authoring suites that allow you to create traditional e-learning. The only drawback is that they are all commercial tools, and generally expensive (I don't know of an open source rapid e-learning tool). It's clear from this list and from a review of the sample courses that this part of the industry is pretty mature. The list includes dedicated e-learning tools like Captivate and Lectora, cloud-based like Lectora Online or Gomo, or inside Powerpoint like iSpring.
