This paper discusses various tools and techniques that are commonly used to create e-learning content. Ubiquitous e-learning content that can be easily used with mobile devices can also be easily produced with commonly available consumer equipment, such as video cameras, voice recorders and smartphones. A wide selection of software also exists today — such as Camtasia, PowToon and VideoScribe — which can be utilized to generate compelling video content for the purpose of mobile learning. In addition, there is a wide variety of apps — such as Recordium, Typorama, WordSwag and Phoster — which can be employed to assist educators in getting their messages across to students.
