AUTHORLEARN STUDIO
AuthorLearn Studio: E-Learning Authoring That Starts Halfway Done
Slide-based authoring with layers, states, triggers, variables and quizzes, plus three shortcuts most tools leave out: an Importer for the content you already own, a course catalogue you can rebrand, and templates that build the interaction for you.
The Importer: Your Old Courses Are a Head Start
Anyone who has rebuilt a 60-slide PowerPoint by hand knows where project time really goes. The Importer brings in existing e-learning files and assets automatically, including PowerPoint decks and Storyline content, plus pictures, audio and video.
You start with your content on slides, ready to improve, instead of a blank project and a folder of exports.
- PowerPoint decks
- Storyline content
- Pictures, audio and video
A White-Label Course Catalogue Every User Can Deploy
Your license includes a library of ready-made courses. Every licensed user may use them, rebrand them and deploy them as their own. Put your logo and colors on a course, adjust it for your audience, and publish it to your LMS.
For freelancers and training teams, that means a client or department can see a finished course on day one, not after weeks of storyboarding.
Interaction Templates That Wire Themselves
Pick a template, type in your content, and AuthorLearn Studio builds the slides, layers, states and triggers. You can open everything it made and change it like any other object.
Your training, your responsibility. Templates, the Importer and the catalogue courses are provided for your convenience as starting points. You remain solely responsible for the accuracy, legality, safety and suitability of any training you create, import, adapt or deploy, including catalogue courses, so develop, review and check your own work before learners see it. The License Agreement has the details.
- Scenario
- Hotspot explore
- Labeled graphic
- Flashcards
- Drag-and-drop sort
- Tabs and accordion
- Timeline and process
- And more, plus premade templates for rapid development
A Full Authoring Engine Underneath
When a template is not enough, build it yourself. AuthorLearn Studio gives you the tools course developers expect from a professional slide-based authoring tool.
- Slides with layers and object states
- Triggers and variables for branching and custom logic
- Questions, quizzes and results slides
- Accessibility support: alt text, keyboard support and minimum text sizes
Workspaces That Fit How You Work
Switch between Simple, Normal, Page Turner and Developer workspace presets, or arrange your panels and save your own custom workspace. A new author can start in Simple, and a developer can keep every panel open.
Publish to Web, SCORM, xAPI and cmi5
One course, six publish targets. Learners use the course in AuthorLearn's own HTML5 player.
- Web and Standalone HTML
- SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 (4th edition)
- xAPI (Tin Can) and cmi5
- Print/PDF export
- XLIFF export for translation
- Built-in LMS test harness that checks SCORM output before you upload
- SCORM output tested in real LMSs, including FormaLMS and Chamilo
Private by Design, Built to Work Offline
AuthorLearn Studio is a desktop app. Once it is activated, it works without an internet connection (it only needs to reach our license server at least once every 90 days), and your course files stay on your computer. Our license system stores no names or postal addresses, keeps email addresses only as keyed one-way hashes, and lets you protect your account with two-factor authentication.
System Requirements and Downloads
AuthorLearn Studio runs on Windows 11. Choose the installer, a portable exe, or a zip, whichever suits your machine and your IT rules.
Questions People Ask
What can the Importer bring in?
PowerPoint decks and Storyline content, plus pictures, audio and video. It handles the conversion automatically so you can start editing right away.
Can I use the catalogue courses under my own brand, including for clients?
Yes. Every licensed user may use, modify, rebrand and deploy catalogue courses as their own, including as part of training you sell or deliver to clients. You may not resell the catalogue itself as a standalone course library. See section 7 of the License Agreement.
Who is responsible for the content of my courses?
You are. Templates, the Importer and catalogue courses are starting points provided for your convenience. You remain responsible for the accuracy, legality, safety and suitability of any training you create, import, adapt or deploy, so review and check it before learners use it.
Does it support SCORM 2004 and cmi5?
Yes. AuthorLearn Studio publishes SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004 (4th edition), xAPI (Tin Can) and cmi5, as well as Web and Standalone HTML.
How do I know my SCORM package will work in my LMS?
Run it through the built-in LMS test harness before you upload. SCORM output has been tested in FormaLMS and Chamilo. As with any tool, test a pilot course in your own LMS before a full rollout.
Do I need to be online to use it?
Only to activate, and then briefly at least once every 90 days so the license can renew. In between, the app works fully offline, and when you are online it checks in quietly about once a week.
Can I translate my courses?
Yes. Export your course text to XLIFF, the standard format translators and translation tools work with.
