A course authoring tool that lives inside the LMS
Write lessons, build interactive modules, record screen demos and put questions into video in the same place learners take the course. Already own Storyline or Rise? Upload the package and keep going.

A typical corporate course we are asked to rebuild has passed through four tools: a slide deck, an authoring app, a screen recorder and a video host, with the LMS at the end of the line. Every correction means going back to the start. LMS Advisor puts the authoring steps where the course lives, so fixing a typo in lesson 3 is an edit and a save, not a re-export and re-upload.
Courses are sections of ordered lessons, and each lesson can be a different type: video, audio, a PDF or document, rich text, an embed, a live session, a SCORM, xAPI or cmi5 package, an interactive module, a quiz or an assignment. Most good courses end up as a mix.
What slows course production down
Four tools for one course
Authoring, recording, hosting and delivery each come with their own license, login and export format.
Small edits cost a full republish
Correcting one screen in a packaged course means exporting, zipping, uploading and testing the whole thing again.
Video people only half watch
A long recording with a quiz at the end tells you nothing about whether anyone followed the middle.
Content stuck in the old platform
Years of Moodle or LearnDash courses feel too costly to rebuild, so the platform move keeps getting postponed.
Authoring tools that ship with the LMS
Five parts cover most course work: the course builder, the interactive module builder, interactive video, the Recording Studio and the Media Library.
Course builder with gating
Order sections and lessons, then add drip days, release dates, a minimum time on a lesson or strict sequential progression.
Interactive module builder
Build with headings, rich text, callouts, accordions, tabs, flip cards, buttons, knowledge checks and drag-and-drop. No HTML required.
Required blocks
Mark a knowledge check or drag-and-drop as required, and the lesson cannot be completed until the learner has answered it.
Interactive video
Place up to 20 timed questions, plus chapters and note overlays, on an MP4, WebM, YouTube or Vimeo video, with rewind on a wrong answer.
Recording Studio
Record camera, screen or both in the browser from 720p to 4K, draw with a pen, highlighter or laser pointer, and upload in one step.
Migration and reuse
Import Moodle .mbz backups and LearnDash courses, duplicate a course as a clean draft, and move courses between installs.
How courses, modules and video are built
Gating, sequencing and completion
Each lesson can wait a set number of days after enrollment, stay closed until a date, require the previous lesson first, or require a minimum time spent on the previous lesson. At course level, sequential progression opens one lesson at a time in order, while completed lessons stay available for review. Drip and sequence are separate checks and a lesson has to pass both. Use strict order for compliance courses where sequence matters, and leave it off for reference material people dip in and out of.
Interactive modules
Modules are built from blocks in their own library and attached to a course as an Interactive lesson, so one module can serve several courses. Knowledge checks take 2 to 10 options, single or multiple correct answers, and your own feedback for right and wrong answers. Drag-and-drop takes up to 12 item and target pairs. Both are scored on the server and both can be marked required. With AI switched on, the authoring assistant drafts a module from a plain description for you to edit. Published modules can also be embedded on another website through an iframe, where nothing is tracked.
Video that checks understanding
The Video block accepts a file URL or a YouTube or Vimeo link. You place questions at timestamps (multiple choice, or short answer with several accepted spellings), mark them required, and set a rewind point so a wrong answer sends the learner back to rewatch that part. You can turn off seeking so the video cannot be skipped, add up to 30 named chapters, and show timed notes over the picture.
Recording without extra software
The Recording Studio runs in the browser. Pick camera, screen, or screen with a camera bubble, choose 720p, 1080p, 2K or 4K, and use the countdown, pause and resume. Pen, highlighter, laser pointer and emoji reactions are drawn into the video as you record, and a whiteboard mode gives you a blank canvas. Preview it, retake it if needed, then upload. Output is WebM. For most lessons 1080p is the right choice, because 4K files get large fast.
Bringing existing courses in
Moodle 3.x and 4.x backups (.mbz) import with sections, pages and quizzes, including multiple choice, true/false, short answer, numerical, matching and essay questions. LearnDash courses come in from a WordPress export file, where quiz questions arrive as placeholders, or through our Migrator plugin, which also brings ProQuiz questions, media and enrollments. Storyline, Rise, Captivate and iSpring content runs as SCORM, xAPI or cmi5 packages.

From outline to published course
Outline the course
Create sections and lessons by hand, duplicate a course you already have, or draft an outline with AI.
Add the content
Write rich text, upload documents and video, attach packages, or record a demo in the Recording Studio.
Build in checks
Add knowledge checks, drag-and-drop, video questions and a quiz, and mark the ones learners must answer.
Set the rules
Choose drip days, release dates and whether the course runs in strict order.
Publish and adjust
Publish, see in analytics where learners drop off, and edit that lesson in place.
What teams build with it
Software walkthroughs
A SaaS support team records a screen demo with a camera bubble, adds questions at the points where customers usually get lost, and sets a rewind point on each one.
Safety procedures
A plant EHS lead builds a lockout-tagout module with a flip card per step and a required drag-and-drop that matches each hazard to its control.
Blended onboarding
HR combines a welcome video, policy PDFs, a live session with the team lead and a short assignment in one course that runs in order.
Leaving Moodle
A training provider imports its .mbz backups, checks the quizzes that came across, and rebuilds only the activities that did not map.
