Generic (off-the-shelf) Courseware
e-Learning products developed for a broad audience, not for
a specific organization. Most generic courseware is complete
junk. But hey, it's a lot cheaper than building quality
stuff that really works, and I get to cross off another course
off my quarterly to do list! That will help my performance
review!

The medium of delivering static images to be interpreted by
the learner visually. Compare to audio, video, text, and animation.

A file format, and filename extension, for graphics files
for display on web pages. Popular format as it provides the
best picture quality to file size tradeoff.

A way of representing the functions, features and contents
of a program to a user by way of visual elements, such as
icons, as opposed to textual elements, such as words and character
strings. The Microsoft Windows operating system is the classic
example of a program with a GUI.
