Go beyond page-turner content, simple games, and multiple choice quizzes to create learning experiences that actually change behavior by engaging, motivating, and challenging learners. Build effective e-learning using branching scenarios, serious games, powerful assessments, and more.

SmartBuilder is the only WYSIWYG, object-oriented, flash e-learning authoring tool on the market. That means you get all the benefits of Flash, plus its 30-70% faster than using the native Flash application.

• Empower instructional designers to be able to build content themselves.
• Free up Flash developers to handle more advanced aspects of the process.
• Rapid prototype content to make sure you get it right.
• Use built in workflow tools to manage the content review/revision processes.

Handle those inevitable changes with ease using a suite of features to rapidly locate, update and distribute content. You can:

• Change media or lessons only once, and SmartBuilder will automatically update everywhere they are used.
• Use master pages to implement changes across all pages of a lesson.
• Save multiple versions of media, lessons, and courses in the SmartBuilder library with version comments and roll-back capabilities.
• Employ the “where used” tool to locate everywhere a media file or lesson is used to quickly understand the impact of changes.
• Change interaction logic quickly and easily using a visual interface.

Certified by ADL to be SCORM 1.2 compliant, SmartBuilder can create SCORM compliant content with the click of a button. Simply enter descriptive information (or Meta-data) such as title, description and keywords, then let SmartBuilder handle the rest. When publishing the content, SmartBuilder will generate the SCORM manifest, meta-data files and run time handlers.

Produce professional quality Flash content using a wide array of pre-built objects such as buttons, frames, score trackers and timers. Visually engage learners by using attention grabbing transitions and animation effects. Create multi-sensory learning experiences by easily embedding streaming video and audio into your content.

Become proficient with SmartBuilder in days, and expert in weeks versus months with other robust authoring tools! Thanks to its highly visual authoring environment, and its simple interactivity logic paradigm, SmartBuilder is easier to master than those other tools.

Make the most of your investments in third-party content by importing them into your SmartBuilder content library. SmartBuilder can import the content of almost any file type (e.g. .DOC, .PPT, .PDF, .HTM, etc.) and incorporate it along side native SmartBuilder content inside a course. You can also launch 3P content in a separate window using hyperlinks, hotspots, or buttons.

SmartBuilder generates content in a Flash (.swf) format, providing benefits such as:

• Faster response times thanks to smaller file sizes and efficient streaming.
• Easy distribution since the free Flash player is already installed on over 90% of browsers.
• Cross platform compatibility for different browsers and operating systems.

SmartBuilder uses a learning object architecture to package lessons as re-usable learning objects. Learning objects are stored in a searchable library and can be easily inserted into multiple courses or delivered stand-alone to learners. The course interface and learning object content are separated so changes to each can be made independently of one another.

Bad training can waste a lot more than just the cost of training development. The whole organization suffers when desired performance is not achieved, and on the job remediation can be very expensive. So a development platform that helps you create truly effective training saves the entire organization money. In other words -- it pays to have SmartBuilder!
