Key benefits from the next generation authoring tool
Unique action block authoring
Traditional authoring tools use popup windows and menus to create logic. SmartBuilder’s action blocks require no popups and fewer clicks. Here’s how it works:
- Select an object directly on the page
- Grab an action block for the selected object
- Snap the block into your action statement
- You’re done!
Fewer clicks for faster authoring
Combine multiple triggers, conditions and responses into a single action. Go from creating dozens of actions in other tools, to just a handful in SmartBuilder – a huge time saver.
Create truly unique course interfaces
Make your elearning stand out from the crowd with course interfaces that meet your unique needs and branding. With SmartBuilder masters, you can:
- Freely layout navigation elements and resources
- Place page content above, below or in-between masters
- Associate multiple masters with any page
- Create triggers on pages which invoke responses on masters, and vice versa
Arrange your workspace however you like
- SmartBuilder’s new interface lets you undock panels and arrange them however you prefer
- Work efficiently on two monitors
- Open multiple lessons at the same time for easy copy and paste
Beginners can build too
SmartBuilder is the only tool that allows authors to create wizard-based templates using the tool itself. So, the library of wizard-based templates is always growing. Have a request for a new template? Give us a shout – in many cases we can build it for you at no charge, and if your organization has technically advanced users, you can also create your own wizard-based templates.
Power that advanced users crave
This one is for the geeks out there. SmartBuilder is the only authoring tool that provides the power and time savings of programming logic, without requiring external scripting. SmartBuilder supports:
- Variables
- Arrays
- Tags
- Text manipulation (split, join, replace, etc.)
- Looping (“for each item”,”while”, etc.)
- Stored procedures
Professional-looking content
Choose from a palette of professionally designed pre-built styles, or configure shapes and buttons with your own shadows, gradients, images and icons.
Timeline
- Create timed presentations using a visual timeline
- Control the timeline with a customizable player bar
- Create multiple show-hide ranges for the same object
Motion
Use action blocks to move objects:
- on a custom drawn motion path
- in a specific direction
- to a specific XY coordinate
- to snap to another object
Drag and drop
Use templates to quickly set up typical drag-and-drop interactions. Or, get under the hood and configure a custom drag-and-drop with almost any behavior you can imagine.
Objects
Objects such as buttons, videos and checkboxes are the building blocks that you’ll use to create cool learning experiences. Each object can communicate with other objects, so the variety of what you can create is almost unlimited.
HTML5
SmartBuilder HTML5 output plays on all modern browsers and platforms including Windows, OSX, Android and iOS. No apps or players are needed.
SCORM, AICC
SmartBuilder automatically generates the files required by an LMS to import content and track results using SCORM 1.2, 2004 or AICC standards.
You’ll be in good company.

With a tool that encourages meaningful interactivity, and a support team excited to
