Hi
I am looking for course authoring tools which can integrate directly with Moodle and allow me to build course screens, basic interactivities, activities with user input fields.
Tool should be able to talk directly with Moodle backend as well, pass data to DB, allow for tracking etc.
Any suggestions will be helpful
Moodle will only provide quiz authoring or assignment authoring. But my requirement is to create custom activities, custom forms to gather data and custom layouts
Moodle does not have this kind of flexibility native
Hence..
Thanks. I wil explore Dataform
Moodle will only provide quiz authoring or assignment authoring.
I think you've missed a bunch of activities available in core Moodle, not to mention the vast number available as third party plug-ins.
As core activity, the database activity lets you create forms to gather data from users and lets you define the layouts to use to gather them. Feedback provides a similar mechanism.

Nitin, one suggestion:
Adapt Builder. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=261756
-Derek
Note: I have not used this, I have no association with the developers, but it looks very very interesting.
PS There is one other possibility that is responsive, currently works inside WordPress, will soon work inside Moodle, but I cannot remember it. HP4 or H4P or something. It will come to me. Matt Bury has actually tested it if I recall.
Derek - I checked Adapt - but it doesnt say that it can connect with Moodle directly via API or plugin
@Derek - H5P - looking very good. Currently build the activities on their website and embed them to Moodle, currently working hard to bring native activity building within the Moodle site (I believe)
Another alternative would be xerte
Hi Derek,
Yes, I'm following the H5P for Moodle project on Github: https://github.com/h5p/h5p-moodle-plugin I think it's currently in alpha and there are some issues with cron not working but I've tested it out and the basics are in place.
It's a SCORM, Articulate, Captivate, Raptivity, and other rapid elearning IDEs style set of activity and presentation templates (Check out the list of templates here: https://github.com/h5p ) but without the restrictions of SCORM and everything's integrated with Moodle.
There's also a more mature, public release H5P plugin for Wordpress. You can export activities from Wordpress and import them to Moodle, so they're truly shareable resources.
H5P project website: https://h5p.org/
And as Mike has pointed out, core Moodle has a lot of activities and features with authoring tools built in: https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Activities as well as many more in the plugins database, currently 292 plugins: https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=category&id=1
I hope this helps
