Authors can specify adjust ARIA roles and Hidden status from the default setting for any element on the page to address unique design choices, e.g., an image treated as a button instead of presentation. ARIA Patterns are actively used for common components such as Tabs, Accordions, drop down selectors, matching and more. During a Review, reviewers can easily see which items are set to be focusable and understand a page’s tab order. They can also identify what, if any alt or screen reader text has been added to elements – all without any special tools. If they find an issue they can comment on the accessibility text and the comment is automatically flagged as an accessibility issue in the review comment tracking. For any item, add additional supportive accessibility text read by screen readers and enable or disable focus on each element. Do all this, inline, while creating your content. No need to open additional windows or pop ups. Closed captions may be uploaded as a SRT, VTT, SBV, or SUB file. Creating a useful content structure using H1-H6 tags is critical to providing accessible content. When adding content to your page the Add a Section bar automatically adjusts suggestions based on the location on the page such as suggesting H1 Heading Text at the top of the page and changing that that suggestion to H2 as you add content further down. The Accessibility Settings tab includes context-specific tips and advice to help you make content more accessible to all learners and meet WCAG standards. When adding elements to your page, if the element is missing accessibility related features (e.g., alt text) authors are warned inline as they work on the element. No need for special IDs to support Flash content, following HTML5 standards localized content automatically identifies the course language. Save time and money when you add images to your content. Your image description is auto added to the ALT text field, making it easy to create accessibility text once, and instantly use it for all cases, even allowing updates to individual unique cases. Supports learners using assistive technologies that enables you to make sure all learners can maximize the use of your content.

Alternatively, they can share the course, create new course properties and reuse all or some of the content from the shared course. Authors can create, manage, share and duplicate course styles such as fonts, list styles, spacing, colors, borders, and underlining throughout all created projects. Authors can then update styles throughout a full course with a single change. Styles can also be duplicated across courses. Full text and metadata search allows searching across the entire site content to locate Learning Objects, Pages and Question for re-use in mew projects. Filters help narrow down the search using any combination of categories, collections, collections, life cycles, author and more. For content that isn’t accessible to all authors, any project can be set as Searchable which allows authors without edit access to be able to find and copy from the project. Utilizing dominKnow | ONE’s Publishing Targets you can now set up targets for your various audiences and your authors can simply tag individual page elements, pages or even topics (learning objects). Your team can now manage multiple learning experiences in a single project, enabling you to create content that is intended for LMS, web experiences, Instructor led training, student guides, and eLearning all in project, or target unique audiences with similar learning needs, but unique aspects. Save time and money and reduce errors with single source design. Authors can create custom themes — controlling colors, fonts, background image/color, navigation style and more. Update once and affect all courses using that theme. With Capture you can choose to publish as an animated gif and add to any page. Add multiple hotspots to provide alternate options to move along the same path. Create alternate paths and branching to allow a users to explore a side path or complete the exercise using a different approach. When authoring review the visual paths and options. Creating simulations, may result in capturing private information. Censor controls enable you to censor areas of the screen, duplicate those across steps and even mask other areas, replacing the masked are with appropariate generic text. Simulations are automatically uploaded to the Cloud. Data can be captured by one team member, edited and/or used by any other team member and made available to any project. Download Capture to the desktop using the install client (compatible with Mac and Windows). Send captured packages to the cloud authoring environment, enabling course collaboration. Easily update and edit your software simulations post capture. With the built in editor you can easily edit, move, duplicate and adjust steps and scenes. You can adjust step text formatting including adding hyperlinks and images. Your stp images can be enhanced by adding arrows, circles, other images, markers and more into any captured screen. Need to make quick changes to any images or audio files or import audio or images from outside Capture, you can easily adjust content and create captures all within a workflow that is optimal for you! With hints you can help your learner out in Try Me scenarios, providing some textual information along with a visual indicator for the next step. Projects are automatically available for publishing as a doc, PDF or ePub file. Each captured step is provided as an image, along with inserted instructional text. Do your learners want a PDF to print out or keep handy? With the Job Aid feature, you can turn on or off the ability for a learner to download a job aid. Job aid designs are customize-able and require no extra work to create! When capturing the screen, Capture automatically grabs the area clicked and the name of the item selected directly from the software being captured for the most precise data. Simulations adapt for the best possible device experience. Include an integrated introduction and/or summary to any simulation you create for your Show Me and Guide Me simulations. Have unique intros for your Test format. Using the built in Capture, snap the screen then drag and drop it into the page. With single-packaged steps in a software simulation, changes to specific steps can be made without the need to re-record your entire project. With a simple setting change, content developers can use simulations for a specific experience or enable the learner to choose. Show me: step-by-step demonstration. Try me: unstructured task exploration. Guide me: user interactions, with hints as needed. Test me: Practice and scored testing exercise as an assessment by itself or as part of an assessment with additional question types. Any software simulation can be output to an LMS, the web, desktop, mobile, MP4 video, or print using the single-source, responsive architecture.

Our policies are based on the following foundational principles: All datastores with customer data, in addition to S3 buckets, are encrypted atrest. Databases use transparent data encryption to protect sensitive data. dominKnow uses TLS 1.2 or higher everywhere data is transmitted over potentially insecure networks. We also use features such asHSTS (HTTP Strict Transport Security) to maximize the security of our data in transit.  Server keys and certificates are managed in AWS allowing secure storage and rotation of secrets. Application secrets are encrypted and stored securely viaAWS Secrets Manager and Parameter Store, and access to these values is strictly limited. dominKnow engages with a leading penetration testing consulting firm at least annually. Our current preferred penetration testing partner is Breachlock. All areas of the dominKnow product and cloud infrastructure are in-scope for these assessments, and source code is fully available to the testers to maximize the effectiveness and coverage. dominKnow requires vulnerability scanning at key stages of our Secure Development Lifecycle (SDLC): All corporate devices are centrally managed and are equipped with mobile device management software and anti-malware protection. Endpoint security alerts are monitored with 24/7/365 coverage. We use MDM software to enforce secure configuration of endpoints, such as disk encryption, screen lock configuration, and software updates. dominKnow uses a risk-based approach to vendor security.Factors which influence the inherent risk rating of a vendor include: Once the inherent risk rating has been determined, the security of the vendor is evaluated to determine a residual risk rating and an approval decision for the vendor. dominKnow secures remote access to internal resources using a modern VPN platform with LDAP backed authentication. dominKnow provides security training to all employees upon onboarding and annually through educational modules within dominKnow’s own platform. dominKnow’s security team shares threat briefings with employees to inform them of important security and safety-related updates that require special attention or action. dominKnow uses M365 to secure our identity and access management. We enforce this with the use of multifactor authentication. dominKnow employees are granted access to applications based on their role, and deprovisioned upon termination of their employment. Further access must be approved according to the policies set for each application. --- ### Page: https://www.dominknow.com/rise-content-conversion Title: Articulate Rise Content Conversion Meta Description: Easily convert existing Articulate Rise content into editable dominKnow | ONE content Language: en Canonical URL: https://www.dominknow.com/rise-content-conversion ## Headings Structure: H1: Unleash Your eLearning Potential: Switch to dominKnow | ONE H2: Why Make the Switch?

Several solutions have been around for many years, along with newer entries into the market that are only a few years old. With so many tools, there’s something for everyone, no matter your industry, size, location, use case, or level of expertise when it comes to creating eLearning content. The good news is that there’s an LCMS or authoring tool for everyone… but it’s not always easy to find the right match in such a saturated market. That’s why we’ve done the hard work for you and scoured the market for the top need-to-know LCMSs and authoring tools. Read on to see which tool is the best fit for your learning content creation and distribution, and why you would choose each one. NOTE: Products are not listed in a specific "top 10 ranking order." We encourage you to explore multiple solutions to determine the one that will best meet your needs. What is an eLearning authoring tool? ‍What’s the difference between an authoring tool and an LCMS? Switching Authoring Solutions: Making Migration Manageable Which eLearning authoring tool or LCMS is right for me? Looking for a new LCMS or authoring tool? Single-source content design is the concept of creating a single piece of content that will adapt to different audiences or delivery modalities. The two most common use cases are: Typically, a design team creates and updates multiple versions of content for each unique situation. When employing single-source design, authors update, maintain, and distribute a single piece of content that adapts to the unique needs of the delivery mode or audience. To compile our top 10 list of authoring tools and LCMSs, we considered platforms that are actively maintained and widely used in workplace learning. Tools must support SCORM, xAPI, or CMI5 standards, offer collaborative features, and enable interactive content creation or content management. We prioritized user experience, customer support, innovation, and integration capabilities. Each tool demonstrated a strong reputation in learning design or content management, backed by real-world use cases or positive user feedback.

Put simply, an eLearning authoring tool is software used to build eLearning content, whether that’s an entire eLearning course or standalone assets. If you don’t want to use entirely off-the-shelf eLearning content, you’ll need an eLearning authoring tool to build custom courses that can be loaded and tracked in your learning management system (LMS). Modern authoring tools allow you to create content entirely from scratch, and, in some cases, adapt existing content (such as a PowerPoint or Word document) into an interactive eLearning course. Once the content is built, it can be loaded into an LMS or learning portal (LXP or website) where your learners can access it. In most cases, this also means that learning progress, completion status, and scores are tracked via an eLearning standard (e.g., SCORM, xAPI, cmi5, or AICC). The authoring solution and learning portal use the chosen standard to enable the course to communicate the details about the learner’s experience to the LMS, which then stores and reports on this information. Throughout this article, you’ll see the terms “authoring tool” and “learning content management system” (or LCMS) used. The two are often mistakenly used interchangeably, and while there are some similarities, they’re not the same. A standalone eLearning authoring tool typically focuses solely on eLearning content creation, with minimal attention given to content management, content distribution, and team workflows and control. In short, it primarily targets individuals and smaller teams who produce smaller volumes of content with less frequent changes. While an LCMS can provide advantages to smaller teams, it typically targets the needs of a team of authors who are responsible for creating, managing, and maintaining a larger volume of content. Of course, team size and content volume size can vary, so when reviewing solutions, it may be best to focus on what overall capabilities will make the most difference for your team and their unique needs. As LCMS solutions focus on optimizing larger amounts of content, some of the typical capabilities found in these solutions include streamlined publishing and delivery, providing more robust team management, permissions, and workflows, greater options for organizing, managing, reusing various elements of content, and single-source design to enable use of content across multiple audiences or formats (e.g., instructor-led presentation materials). When it comes to authoring content, some LCMS solutions include basic authoring but rely on external tools for more sophisticated designs, while other solutions provide powerful authoring capabilities as part of the overall solution. One of the unique advantages of an LCMS is the ability to reuse content and apply single-source design principles. Reuse is the ability to add something to your content, such as a graphic, place that same item into multiple content projects, and then, when you need to update it, update it once and have the update propagate automatically across all locations where it is being reused. In other words, the element is linked, not copied. Learn more about what an LCMS is: LCMS 101 What’s a Learning Content Management System and Why You Should Know Two reasons often keep teams in an authoring tool that no longer fits: status-quo bias (“this is just how eLearning works”) and migration anxiety (“we have too much content to move”). Both can be solved with a structured plan. Bottom line: Don’t let migration be the blocker. With an audit-first approach, phased rollout, and the right mix of conversion tools and services, teams typically improve speed of updates, reduce duplication, and gain tighter control over governance, without going dark or maintaining two systems forever, or choosing no change and losing out on the benefits of a switch. dominKnow | ONE is a cloud-based learning content management system (LCMS) with advanced built-in authoring. Teams use it to create, manage, and distribute custom learning at scale, self-paced courses, software training, instructor-led materials, and job aids, while applying single-source and reuse practices to reduce duplication and speed updates. Content can be published to standard LMSs (SCORM/xAPI/cmi5) or delivered from the platform to minimize repackaging work. The authoring environment supports responsive and slides-based courses, branching scenarios, graded/ungraded assessments, soft-skill simulations, and software simulations. Designers can standardize look-and-feel with themes, templates, and centrally managed styles, and use variables, conditions, and component-level controls to tailor experiences without custom code. Authors can convert content from PowerPoint, start with provided templates or projects in their marketplace, or use their team’s baselines. Because authoring lives inside the LCMS, authors and reviewers work against the same source, which simplifies versioning and approvals. As an LCMS, dominKnow | ONE emphasizes governance: roles/permissions, version history, revert/undelete, and structured review/commenting are built in. Projects, assets, and fragments can be organized with metadata and tags to support search and controlled reuse. Teams can maintain libraries of media, templates, and learning objects so that common elements (e.g., a compliance disclaimer or product spec) are used consistently across courses. A core design pattern in dominKnow | ONE is reuse with linking (not copying). When a shared item (a topic, theme, graphic, glossary term, simulation, or reference) changes, linked courses inherit the update. Authors can also create audience or modality variants from the same source, e.g., self-paced eLearning, an instructor deck, and a participant handout, without maintaining separate projects. For localization, teams can manage multiple languages within a single course structure, which reduces the overhead and error risk of keeping parallel course clones in sync. In addition to LMS exports, the platform supports hosted/dispatch delivery so teams can publish once and deliver learning via links or lightweight LMS stubs. When the source changes, downstream learners see the update without replacing packages in each LMS, a practical benefit for distributed enterprises. Standard analytics flow through the receiving system (LMS/LRS) according to the chosen standard. In some cases, LCMSs are also known for their ability to convert or publish content in different output formats. dominKnow | ONE provides native conversion for PowerPoint presentations and Word documents. For other types, the dominKnow services team can migrate content from tools such as Articulate Rise, UPK and SAP Enable Now Software Simulations, Kinexa LCMS, and Inkling, as well as other solutions. This capability is particularly helpful for teams transitioning from another tool, as they can quickly and painlessly bring learning into their new solution. Who should use dominKnow | ONE: dominKnow | ONE’s biggest differentiator is operational efficiency at scale: single-source authoring, governed reuse, and update-once delivery wrapped in a powerful authoring solution. It is well-suited for organizations that manage high volumes of learning with frequent updates, multiple audiences/brands, or many languages, regulated environments (where content governance and auditability matter), product enablement (fast change cycles), and teams that want to consolidate authoring, management, and distribution in one place. It’s also ideal for learning teams requiring robust authoring capabilities with native collaboration features, including version control, permissions, and effective content organization, as well as real-time reviews and collaborative content design. Who shouldn’t use dominKnow | ONE: Single users looking for a standard authoring tool to make basic courses will likely not require the extensive functionality of dominKnow | ONE. This includes one-person teams who don’t need to collaborate with others, as one of dominKnow’s key strengths is around collaborative content authoring and reviewing, which is unnecessary for the very smallest L&D teams. ‍Discover dominKnow | ONE There are two key Articulate authoring tools: Articulate Rise and Articulate Storyline, which are included as part of a suite, Articulate 360. Articulate Rise is a cloud-based eLearning authoring tool known for its ability to provide easy and rapid responsive content development. Its more rigid design and widget approach, combined with a large library of pre-made content and media assets, make it easy for users of all skill levels to build visually appealing eLearning courses without needing to code. Rise does not support software simulations. Articulate Storyline is a Windows-only desktop-based eLearning authoring tool designed for highly customized, interactive content, including software simulations. Its slide-based format, similar to PowerPoint, gives authors complete creative control over layout, interactions, software simulations, and branching scenarios. While it offers a very high degree of flexibility over more template-driven tools, building courses often requires more time and skill, and it provides no real-time collaboration between authors. Articulate 360 adds shared libraries but offers no simultaneous editing. For collaboration with reviewers, it provides an integration with their review tool. While Articulate Rise isn’t the most flexible tool for highly customized interactions or designs, it’s a solid choice for rapid eLearning authoring – especially for standard workplace training, like onboarding, compliance, or general information distribution. The block-based responsive course authoring approach eliminates many design choices, resulting in a rapid development process for any device. Their optional AI assistant add-on can serve as a sidekick, helping learning designers create and perform certain tasks even more quickly. Articulate Rise also provides native collaborative capabilities, enabling multiple authors to collaborate when developing content. In contrast, Articulate Storyline has a much higher degree of flexibility in content design and authoring. However, one major drawback is the lack of cloud authoring and real-time collaboration. Authors can create highly customized, complex learning experiences, but this comes at the cost of being able to easily collaborate with other authors. Collaboration is sequential and occurs by relying on sharing a project through the Articulate web portal. As a legacy authoring tool, Articulate Storyline also does not support true responsive design, and instead relies on the author designing content that looks good when shrunk to a smaller screen size, making it less suitable for learners not utilizing a traditional computer screen size. Both solutions are compatible with Articulate Reviewer, which connects to published copies of Rise or Storyline content, enabling users to provide feedback about the published content on a page-by-page basis. Who should use Articulate: Articulate Rise is a popular tool for L&D teams who prioritize speed, consistency, and mobile optimization. Its simple interface and range of design templates ensure that content looks polished with minimal effort. It’s useful for instructional designers who need to scale content creation quickly, but users do complain that all courses “look the same” due to the limited design options and flexibility. Articulate Storyline is a popular legacy authoring tool with a strong global user community. It allows for precise customization of learning content and activities, and experienced instructional and learning designers will appreciate the wide range of interactions and activities available. Some of the biggest complaints are no true responsive design (the responsive player adapts and the slides shrink), minimal collaborative capabilities, and a lesser degree of innovation when compared to Rise. Who shouldn’t use Articulate: Anyone needing complex branching, deep customization, or a unique look and feel shouldn’t choose Articulate Rise. Many customer reviews state that Rise is better suited to simple, linear, good-looking courses. Articulate Storyline isn’t a good choice for teams requiring collaboration or real-time review. This desktop-based tool is powerful, but with no cloud-based offering, each course author is stuck working in a silo on a Windows OS computer, unless they share the content to the web portal and work “sequentially” on their project with their colleague. For a closer look, review: dominknow |ONE vs Articulate Rise and dominKnow ONE vs Articulate Storyline ‍Discover Articulate 360 Lectora is a powerful desktop and cloud-based authoring tool aimed at advanced instructional designers. Known for its high level of customizability and SCORM/xAPI support, Lectora gives learning designers control over virtually every element, from branching logic to accessibility standards. While their authoring collaboration is limited to the online version of Lectora, review collaboration is provided with their standalone review tool ReviewLink. ReviewLink works with content from either version of Lectora and enables other team members to share feedback with the author. Much like many other authoring tools, Lectora now supports AI-powered course creation. With Lectora, you’ll find ready-made course frameworks, alongside pre-made themes and style packs for quick and easy course creation. The Lectora Capture tool, installed alongside the desktop version, provides a basic version of software simulations, but there’s more manual work required to add annotations and instructions than with other authoring tools that support software simulations. There is also a large built-in asset library, featuring icons, stock imagery, eLearning templates, and more. Who should use Lectora: Lectora is a great fit for technical L&D teams building highly interactive or compliance-heavy content. It’s particularly strong in sectors like healthcare or finance, where strict accessibility and reporting requirements apply. Lectora’s versatility allows for deep control over learner experience, but it may be too complex or advanced for beginner or intermediate learning designers. Lectora may also be useful for those requiring a desktop-based authoring tool for some of their team members, as it works neatly with the web-based version. This means that course creators can author courses locally, before seamlessly switching to the cloud version for collaboration, storage, and deployment. Who shouldn’t use Lectora: Teams looking for a modern authoring experience with intuitive UI and built-in real-time collaboration may find that Lectora feels outdated and harder to use than the other tools on this list. The desktop version is only available on Windows, so if you are using a Mac you will be restricted to the features available in the web-based version. iSpring Suite is a PowerPoint-based authoring tool that allows even non-designers to build engaging eLearning in minutes. With features like quizzes, dialogue simulations, and screen recordings, iSpring is perfect for converting traditional slide decks into interactive, SCORM-compliant courses. iSpring does not support creating software simulations. Its option to purchase an LMS directly from iSpring and gentle learning curve make it a popular option for trainers and subject matter experts who are just stepping into eLearning. For instance, you can turn existing PowerPoint courses into interactive eLearning courses, quizzes, or roleplay scenarios, making learning more engaging for a range of learners. iSpring AI plays a supporting role in generating additional content, such as quiz questions, and shaping new courses. iSpring Suite bundles multiple eLearning tools, such as a quiz maker, video lectures, screen recording, and more, into one package. While this provides comprehensive coverage of course creation needs, the fact that each tool is separate means that course authors must switch between modules, as there is no single unified interface. iSpring also has a global online community to bring together fellow users, which can be helpful for those new to the authoring tool or those looking to level up what they can do with iSpring. Other options to help you get started include certified training, which can be used as evidence of your proficiency in the tool, or you can hire iSpring professionals to help out with course creation. Who should use iSpring Suite: iSpring is a useful authoring tool for organizations transitioning from face-to-face or presentation-led training into eLearning. It’s ideal for time-poor teams who want to make the most of existing PowerPoint content, while adding interactivity and assessments with minimal effort, or for beginners who don’t want to start from scratch, but who also want to bring their learning content into the modern world. Who shouldn’t use iSpring Suite: Instructional designers who need rich interactivity, responsive design, and flexibility beyond PowerPoint-based training should avoid iSpring. Many reviewers say it’s too restrictive for scalable, diverse learning needs. iSpring is available optimized for Windows PC, but not Mac, so bear this in mind when considering it as your authoring tool of choice. Adobe Captivate is a desktop-based eLearning authoring tool used for creating responsive, interactive courses. Its current version includes advanced features like complex branching, software simulations, and AI-assisted media, giving learning designers full creative control.

AI-generated narration and video capabilities also support multimedia-driven learning experiences. Adobe Captivate also offers enhanced responsive design tools, allowing authors to create content that automatically adjusts for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices. Its integration with PowerPoint (Adobe Classic only at this time), advanced triggers, and variables let designers create content quickly and add highly customized, scenario-based interactions. This makes Captivate a flexible tool for both basic and complex and interactive training experiences. In the new Captivate 12, the interface and capabilities were completely updated. Early reviews of the change indicate that the new version is less intimidating to use, but more experienced designers have complained that many features in Captivate Classic are not yet available, such as 360/AR videos. Buyers considering Captivate should carefully examine their needs, as there are significant feature gaps between Captivate Classic and Captivate 12. With Captivate, authors can build immersive, scenario-based training with precision, and the Adobe Captivate Academy provides step-by-step guides to help users master the tool. Who should use Adobe Captivate: Adobe Captivate is ideal for creating complex, high-stakes training requiring simulations, responsive design, and granular control over interactions. Experienced L&D teams who need custom-built learning journeys will benefit most. Who shouldn’t use Adobe Captivate: Organizations seeking ease of use, seamless collaboration, or modern UX may find Captivate challenging. Its desktop-only architecture limits author collaboration, but they did recently add a review option. Some accessibility features in the recent version are less robust than other modern tools. When reviewing this solution, keep in mind there are some significant gaps between what was in Captivate Classic and what is currently available in the latest release of Captivate. NOTE: There are significant differences between Captivate Classic and Captivate 12. When reading user reviews, make sure the review is about the version you are considering. Discover Adobe Captivate Gomo is a cloud-based authoring tool and delivery platform that focuses on simplicity, responsiveness, and scalability. Its intuitive UI lets designers build visually consistent content quickly, with multi-device optimization built in from the start. Gomo does not support creating software simulations. Gomo’s intuitive user interface utilizes drag-and-drop design, alongside pre-made and custom themes for easy visual design. Gomo uses OpenAI to support eLearning content generation and translation, which can be useful for smaller, resource-stretched learning teams. With any AI content creation assistance or translation, it is recommended that the content be thoroughly reviewed by human experts to ensure accuracy. Additionally, Gomo’s all-in-one language capability provides built-in multilingual support, allowing course authors to create, deploy, and manage fully localized eLearning courses within a single, unified package. It supports 160+ languages (per Gomo Hosting and Analytics), with the HTML5 layouts automatically adapting to translated copy lengths. Gomo Learning also features hosted dynamic content delivery with options for learning content to be distributed globally without the need for a separate LMS or through SCORM stubs in a standard LMS. Who should use Gomo: Gomo is a solid choice for L&D teams who want to create and distribute accessible content at scale, without being tied to a traditional LMS. Its cloud-based nature and dynamic hosted delivery options make it ideal for remote or hybrid teams looking to collaborate seamlessly. Gomo has a unique integration with the Bridge LMS, so current Bridge users may prefer to choose an eLearning authoring tool with an established connection for an easier content journey. Who shouldn’t use Gomo: Anyone who wants complete control over design and interactivity may be disappointed with the flexibility provided. While Gomo supports true responsive design and is more flexible than some competitors, such as Articulate Rise, it still has limitations that will result in some users feeling the content ends up looking “blocky” or “samey”. As with most authoring tools, content reuse capability is very limited to nonexistent. Discover Gomo Learning Easygenerator is designed for subject matter experts (SMEs) rather than professional learning designers. With drag-and-drop functionality, templates, and built-in learning analytics, it helps organizations democratize content creation by allowing anyone to create training, regardless of technical skill. Easygenerator does not support creating software simulations. Its real-time collaboration and cloud-based delivery support agile content workflows, and ensure that teams can share the load between colleagues for speedy learning content creation. Their EasyAI option also makes it possible to generate new eLearning courses from scratch or from existing documents, and Easygenerator offers strong support services to empower complete beginners to design, build, and deliver eLearning. It’s particularly useful for L&D teams lacking specialist instructional design expertise, as it’s very easy to create simple eLearning courses with activities such as flip cards and videos. However, it has limited support for more advanced capabilities such as variables and custom interactions. It includes 10 question types, but the variance in types of assessments and features is limited. If non-standard assessments or more flexibility in creating interactivity are needed, it may be worth considering a different tool. Who should use Easygenerator: Easygenerator is primarily designed for organisations where SMEs (or non-learning designers) are often called on to create learning content. It lowers the barrier to entry for content creation, enabling faster turnaround times and better knowledge sharing across teams, though this does mean that customization options can feel limited compared to other tools on this list. It’s also a strong choice for those requiring easy localization, with optional AI auto-translation into 75+ languages, and 12 languages for the Easygenerator interface, providing strong support for global L&D teams. While the multi-language aspect is largely automated, teams would likely benefit from human reviews of translated content to check for accuracy and nuance. Who shouldn’t use Easygenerator: While Easygenerator is excellent for SME-led content and rapid builds, its interaction logic and customization depth are lighter than pro tools that offer variables, complex branching, and advanced assessment logic. Discover Easygenerator Xyleme Create and Syndicate are part of the broader Xyleme LCMS, designed to manage the full lifecycle of learning content. Known for its powerful single-source content capabilities, Xyleme enables teams to create reusable content that can be updated once and instantly reflected across all courses, modules, and formats using the Xyleme Create authoring tool and the Xyleme Syndicate content cloud for delivery and analytics. Xyleme does not support creating software simulations. Real-time collaboration and content reviewing reduce turnaround time for important content updates, and these updates can then be pushed out automatically via Xyleme Syndicate for easier content management. Xyleme sports both import from and export to options with tools such as Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Xyleme Create excels at structured, single-source authoring where authors are composing granular reusable XML components and publishing content to multiple formats. However, it is more complex to set up these templates and Xyleme Create lacks many of the advanced interactive features found in today’s more competitive rapid authoring tools. To combat this, they do provide integrations with outside authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, but using these tools results in a trade-off that reduces the flexibility of the many single-source, search, translation management, and reusability features built into the platform. Who should use Xyleme: Xyleme Create is ideal for enterprise-level teams juggling multiple outputs, formats, and languages. Its structured content model supports long-term scalability, consistency, and efficiency – particularly in regulated industries with frequently changing content, as content updates can be pushed out automatically. Xyleme Syndicate provides solid content governance, with comprehensive learning analytics available right within the platform and enables teams to more easily deliver learning content at scale. Who shouldn’t use Xyleme: Smaller teams or those seeking a fast-to-deploy, user-friendly authoring tool will find Xyleme too complex and heavyweight, as customer reviews suggest that its authoring is limited for those without the ability to “program” more complex templates. Xyleme is better suited for large organizations with structured content reuse strategies and technical support. For a closer look, review: dominKnow | ONE vs Xyleme Teachfloor is an LCMS built for cohort-based learning. It supports live classes, collaborative projects, and peer-to-peer learning, making it ideal for training that prioritizes engagement and interaction. Teachfloor does not support creating software simulations. It’s primarily focused on the education sector, with online academies designed for students, but Teachfloor can also be used in enterprise organizations for employees, association members, or volunteers. With Teachfloor, L&D teams can create media-rich courses with a strong focus on live and peer-to-peer learning experiences. Intuitive course design brings together live learning events, videos, podcasts, SCORM courses, surveys, and more. Teachfloor provides the most socially focused learning experiences on this list. Who should use Teachfloor: Teachfloor is a great pick for organizations exploring social or cohort-based learning models. It’s particularly valuable for leadership training, onboarding, or L&D programs where discussion and community matter as much as content. However, much of the content is embedded from other tools (such as YouTube or Miro), rather than being built natively within Teachfloor, meaning it’s more about curating and organizing your existing assets rather than creating new courses and resources. Who shouldn’t use Teachfloor: Anyone focused on creating content-rich, interactive self-paced eLearning (rather than managing live or cohort-based learning) will find Teachfloor lacking in authoring power. Evolve is a cloud-based authoring tool that creates fully responsive, mobile-first learning. Evolve is a proprietary solution, provided by Intellum, that has its roots in the open source Adapt Framework. It provides a no-code, user-friendly interface that allows designers to create interactive courses without needing to write HTML, CSS, or JavaScript. Evolve does not support creating software simulations. Much like Adapt, Evolve courses are HTML5-based, meaning they work well on any device. Evolve includes a library of built-in components and templates to enhance content. While technical skills are less critical than with Adapt, having a developer with advanced skills is recommended if unique customizations are needed. Evolve’s dedicated support is provided by Intellum and includes collaboration features and regular updates. To be clear Evovle is a different product than Adapt, and none of these updates and support are available in Adapt’s community-driven open-source model. Evolve users also benefit from pre-made templates and around 50 pre-made interactive elements that simplify course creation. Evolve supports reviews by SMEs with their live preview and in-product reviewing comments. Multiple role types and a central library will aid your team as they collaborate to build consistent learning. If you are using the Intellum LMS platform, you will benefit from the native sync for seamless delivery. This streamlines content updates with a single step. Who should use Evolve: Evolve is ideal for teams that want responsive, mobile-friendly eLearning with flexibility for customization but don’t want to manage code. It suits L&D teams looking for a balance between creative control and ease of use. If you are already using Adapt, it can be a great upgrade as it provides more capabilities, dedicated support and Adapt content can be imported into Evolve. However, keep in mind that Evolve does not natively support Adapt plugins. Evolve is also a good fit for those already using the Intellum LMS, due to the native deployment integration. Who shouldn’t use Evolve: Teams that need completely free, fully open-source solutions or more complex interactivity or coding may prefer Adapt. Evolve is subscription-based, and while flexible, it doesn’t offer the same low-level developer access as Adapt. There can also be a steep learning curve for some of the more advanced features, so it may not be suited to less technically proficient content authors. No single tool will be right for every organization, but the best choice for your team depends on your goals, skills, budget, and content complexity. Whether you're looking for speed, scale, simplicity, or sophistication, we can guarantee there’s an authoring tool or LCMS above to support your learning transformation.

If you're thinking about switching to a responsive digital learning strategy, you may be thinking about the costs instead of the savings. You've put it off this long because change is expensive, but now you've reached a tipping point where the status quo is looking less and less attractive. The good news is that responsive eLearning offers more than just aesthetics. Here are three modern eLearning pain points that can be solved with the right responsive authoring tool. A decade ago, you could assume that any eLearning would be accessed almost exclusively on a laptop-sized screen or bigger. If your digital learning was accessible at all on mobile, you were ahead of the curve. Traditional eLearning courses could shrink to fit a mobile screen and paired with a responsive player, that was more than sufficient for marginal use cases. It was no big deal that everyone on their phone had to squint and put their nose to the screen because nearly all websites and documents were suboptimal. Users accepted the inconvenience. Fast-forward to today, and a lot has changed. Mobile is majority, technical barriers have largely disappeared, and the responsive website revolution has shifted consumer expectations toward equal ease of use on every device. In fact, according to the Pew Research Center, smartphone use has outstripped home broadband since 2017; for roughly 15% of your learners, mobile internet is the only option outside the office. For a number of years, responsive digital learning lagged behind the responsive web due to a lack of robust authoring options. The most sophisticated authoring tools produced a traditional fixed-ratio page size, and the first responsive eLearning tools didn't come anywhere close to matching their ability to create complex, interactive digital learning. That's no longer true. Today, there are authoring tools on the market for responsive eLearning that can go toe to toe with old standbys. The demand is there, and the technology exists. If you're not leaning into responsive content, you're falling behind. As consumer expectations have shifted, L&D teams have been forced to spend development hours adapting content to work across the range of screen sizes now in demand. The squint-to-see problem isn't just an inconvenience – it's an accessibility problem for anyone with reduced visual acuity. Minimum text size is one of the WCAG/Section 508 requirements you're legally obligated to meet in many situations. With most authoring styles, meeting these requirements cost your staff extra time and effort. In a traditional shrink-to-fit authoring tool, your only option is to use text that's comically large on desktop so that it's still legible on a mobile screen. It's not just an extra consideration during development – it also looks awkward and unprofessional. Then there are tools that claim to produce responsive digital learning when they actually display a different version of each page based on the user's screen size. Content looks more natural on every screen, but authors have to spend time (and, therefore, money) manually adapting content to each set of dimensions. The most streamlined authoring option for modern eLearning is a true-responsive tool that lets you author once for all screen sizes. dominKnow | ONE's Flow, for example, dynamically and automatically adjusts your content's layout to suit the screen size. This allows you to provide legible content with minimal effort in a way that looks organic and professional on every type of screen. Check out our infographic – created in Flow – to see how these three authoring approaches contrast. A huge benefit of a truly responsive authoring tool is that it's typically one and done – authors can preview different screen sizes to confirm that everything looks right, but once you have the hang of responsive authoring, you won't need extra adjustment very often. However, there are cases where you might want more control. Look for responsive authoring tools that provide users with the ability to manually adjust specific breakpoints and to make certain changes at one of the screen sizes. For example, on mobile, you might want to show or hide an element that works for larger screen sizes, swap one image for another, or change the relative position of an element for best effect. Some responsive authoring tools lack this level of authorial control, so it's something to ask about when shopping. We've talked in the past about how you shouldn't be concerned about learning styles and generation gaps when you design your digital learning. Those "problems" are little more than L&D myths. However, there are good reasons you should provide a variety of learning resources on many topics. One reason to mix it up is that people retain information better when they're exposed to multiple types of encoding. In other words, your learners will remember a lesson better if it's presented to them more than once in a variety of ways. Maybe they start with a formal eLearning course, then reinforce what they've learned with a pop quiz, cement the practical applications with a simulation, and seek out an on-demand resource for ongoing needs. The other reason you need a variety of formats is that every learning process involves five distinct moments of need: 1) learning something new, 2) increasing the breadth and depth of that knowledge, 3) applying that knowledge to real life, 4) problem-solving when things don't work as expected, and 5) integrating new information or changing skills that are deeply ingrained. A formal eLearning course can only address two or three of the five moments. Formal courses are great at introducing new information, helping you dig into a topic deeper, and retraining on big, fundamental changes. They're long enough to put the pieces together, and their structured nature helps you walk through things step by step, so you create a mental framework. Those same strengths become weaknesses when you hit the other three moments of need. It's frustrating to dig through a long, detailed formal course when you're just trying to remember the steps of a process. What you need at that moment instead is a job aid, not an eLearning course. Similarly, when something breaks, you might be able to identify the problem by going back to the conceptual framework, but you probably won't have an hour just to gaze at your navel. It would be better to have a knowledge base article with quick troubleshooting steps. What does any of this have to do with responsive authoring? If you have the right eLearning authoring tool, you can create formal and informal resources in a single platform – even a single project through single-source design. You'll save time, training, and resources when all your L&D can be created, managed, and updated in the same tool – especially if the tool has smart content reuse features and output tagging that minimizes or eliminates duplicate effort. Responsive authoring is inherently flexible. After all, it's the style we use across the entire modern internet – if you've seen a certain format or layout on a website, then it's probably replicable in a full-featured responsive authoring tool. Unfortunately, many popular responsive tools limit you to a few bland-looking templates. For example, Articulate 360's responsive tool, Rise, only allows you to create digital learning in a minimalist scrolling webpage style. This has given responsive design a bad rap as restrictive and boring, but it's a failure of the tool, not the format. Actually, when you have a tool that makes full use of the responsive medium's potential, new avenues for eLearning open up. In dominKnow | ONE, for example, you can produce responsive eLearning courses in the same place as your searchable knowledge base – something that normally takes separate specialized software. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Flow can also handle job aids, infographics, microlearning exercises, scenarios, games, screencasts, and more.

Responsive eLearning design has long been a focus area for instructional designers and developers looking to keep up with the way people learn. It’s become clear to instructional designers in 2025 that learners are no longer completing 100% of their training on their desktop computers – they’re often using phones and tablets to access their learning. Responsive design was created to target the changing way in which users were interacting with the web and learning content. With responsive design content adapts to different screen sizes, aiming to provide a great experience for people, no matter what device they are using. But what are the limitations of responsive eLearning, and perhaps more importantly, what are they not? Paul Schneider, PhD from dominKnow recently hosted a webinar with Jacqueline Hutchinson, Chief Learning Designer at e-Learning Pros. They discussed common myths about responsive eLearning design and explored how to transition from an authoring tool like Articulate Rise to an all-in-one learning content management system (LCMS) with a built-in responsive authoring option, such as dominKnow | ONE—highlighting why this switch is easier than it may seem. Many misconceptions about responsive eLearning design stem from the limitations of the tools authors use and how providers present their solutions. A common misconception among Articulate Rise users is the belief that creating more engaging or creatively designed learning experiences isn’t possible with responsive design, forcing them to rely on traditional fixed-pixel solutions like Storyline. The good news? That’s simply not the case! Let’s unpack four of the most common myths. Rapid content authoring tools like Articulate Rise generally offer predefined block controls for adding content. While they’re great for quickly developing eLearning, they can feel limiting if you want to break free from those constraints and get more creative. Luckily, with a platform like dominKnow | ONE, authors gain significantly more flexibility, enabling them to elevate their designs without being confined by the restrictions of other responsive authoring tools. In Rise, you can work with basic templates like image + text, but customization is limited unless you rely on a third-party tool or Storyline. However, using these external tools often compromises responsiveness—such as adding text over an image in Photoshop or embedding a Storyline block—resulting in non-responsive content and ultimately diminishing the learner’s experience. With a tool like dominKnow | ONE, you can incorporate elements like panels to emphasize key content, ensuring it adapts beautifully across different screen sizes. It also maintains content cohesion by using features like pop-ups to structure information effectively, keeping related content organized in a logical flow. This is just one example of how you can design based on instructional needs rather than being constrained by tool limitations. “In dominKnow, I can have all my elements in whatever order and as many columns as I want.” While not exclusive to responsive design, Jacqueline highlighted a key advantage of using an LCMS for content creation. At E-Learning Pros, many clients rely on extensive glossaries, and with dominKnow | ONE, a single global glossary can be created and seamlessly carried across multiple courses, even enabling auto-linking of terms. This ensures consistency, eliminates redundant work, and keeps content well-organized. Plus, any term updates can be made once and automatically applied across all courses, giving authors more time and flexibility to focus on creative design within their budget. Many responsive tools limit the ability to create complex designs and layouts, often leading to the misconception that a fixed-pixel approach is necessary. For instance, in Rise, presenting large amounts of related data typically requires a basic table. While this technically displays the information, Jacqueline pointed out that it can overwhelm learners and obscure key relationships. To achieve a more intuitive design, Rise authors often have to build it externally and then import it back as a non-responsive block, compromising the learning experience. With dominKnow | ONE, you gain greater flexibility in page design and layout, allowing you to create structures that better align with your instructional goals. For example, when Jacqueline’d Rise content was converted into editable dominKnow | ONE content, she was able to refine the content that resided in a table into a smart ‘tab-in-tab’ setup. This approach made the material feel less overwhelming, helping learners focus on individual relationships and understand how they connect to the bigger picture (e.g., 'X sits under umbrella Y')." A core principle of responsive design is that elements like tabs adapt to different screen sizes, ensuring content is presented logically regardless of the layout. In contrast, non-responsive designs that simply 'shrink to fit' often fail to provide the same usability, forcing learners to constantly zoom in and out just to read the content. Responsive design eliminates this frustration by automatically adjusting to different screen sizes for a seamless learning experience. When combining Rise with non-responsive tools, learners often face disjointed content—what works well in one section may require zooming or resizing in another. With dominKnow, however, all your unique designs and interactive elements are natively responsive. They automatically adjust and 'stack' as needed, providing a smart layout that maintains your design objectives across all devices. Another common myth, often fueled by differences in tools, is that responsive content can't be as interactive as traditional fixed-pixel designs. While it's true that considerations around size are important when creating drag-and-drop or click/touch exercises, responsiveness itself doesn't hinder the ability to craft engaging interactive content. Though 'interactive' content can mean different things to each instructional designer, it generally refers to any experience that requires learner input, leading to changes or actions as a result. Jacqueline’s ‘tab-in-tab’ setup in dominKnow | ONE serves as an example of interactive content. The core of interactivity involves a ‘trigger,’ often initiated by the user, such as a click, followed by an ‘action,’ like content appearing on the screen that wasn’t visible before. The limits of many responsive tools have led to the misconception that only prepackaged actions—such as tabs, basic question types, and markers—are capable of creating interactivity. This often results in less engaging, less meaningful content, where ‘click’ exercises are added just for the sake of interaction, rather than offering true learner engagement. A simple yet powerful example of interactivity that showcases the flexibility offered by dominKnow | ONE involves drawing attention to specific aspects of a video clip. Jacqueline mentioned that in Rise, you can add narration text or specific points beneath the video for reinforcement, but that approach is quite limiting. In one of her use cases, she wanted to emphasize certain key moments within the video while it was playing. With dominKnow, she was able to set triggers at specific video timestamps, allowing key points to appear and disappear as the video progressed. This approach reinforced the message within the context of the full video. This was just one situation Jacqueline was able to improve upon and fully realize her instructional goals and all with a responsive design. For an example with advanced uses of triggers, actions, variables, timers, and branching, check out the Drive-Thur Service Game Responsiveness and interactivity go hand in hand, and choosing a tool like dominKnow | ONE allows instructional designers to optimize both. With dominKnow, designers can enhance customized designs and interactions, while also making the most of the built-in interactive objects. Quizzing is a prime example of this. In tools like Articulate Rise, you can create basic multiple-choice quizzes with predefined questions and answers. It offers the essentials, such as individual item feedback, but it’s limited in terms of deeper engagement. While it serves the purpose of knowledge checking, any skilled instructional designer knows that if you're only assessing knowledge, you're missing out on a valuable learning opportunity. In contrast, dominKnow | ONE offers a wide variety of question types and interactive quiz options. Authors can customize feedback in virtually any way they choose, even linking back to content within the material, which reinforces the knowledge check and saves authors time. Instead of relying on basic “Yes, that’s correct” or “No, try again” feedback, quizzes can become an integral part of the learning experience. This flexibility allows authors to incorporate pre-testing, timed assessments, branching, and even unique interactions before (e.g., pausing a video for a knowledge check) and after (e.g., providing personalized visual experiences or branching to different sections based on user choices), eliminating the repetitive cycle of simple multiple-choice questions. Converting content from one authoring tool to another can seem overwhelming, often involving a lot of manual work—copying and pasting content, with minimal optimization using pre-defined templates. Recognizing this challenge, dominKnow created a solution: the Articulate Rise to dominKnow | ONE conversion tool. With this tool, your team can submit a request to convert a few courses or your entire Articulate Rise library, and the dominKnow team will process a mass conversion. The mass conversion tool will process all of your content, preserving the look and feel of your content while empowering your team to elevate it using dominKnow | ONE. This means your team can focus on what really matters—adding interactive elements and innovative designs—without worrying about how to manage existing content or maintaining unnecessary software licenses. With the original course as a foundation, you can easily incorporate the advanced features you’ve always wanted but couldn’t implement before. You might be surprised by how quick and painless the process can be! At this point, the biggest challenge may simply be overcoming the limitations you’ve grown accustomed to and fully embracing your creative freedom with dominKnow | ONE! ‍Ready to explore more?

If you’ve ever made your own in-house learning content, it’s likely you’ll have used a course authoring tool. Traditional, standalone authoring tools typically allow you to build one eLearning course at a time, using a preselected template, which you can then upload to your LMS or learning platform. While these tools serve a purpose, standalone authoring tools have their limits – especially when it comes to creating truly engaging, interactive learning content at scale that can be reused and updated as your learning ecosystem grows and changes with your organization. If you’re struggling to keep up with the elearning demands of your organization, it could be time to make the switch from a standalone authoring tool to a learning content management system (LCMS) with an integrated authoring tool. This gives you the flexibility to do much more with every piece of content you create with a cohesive system for creating, managing, and publishing content. Instead of piecing together point solutions across a disparate tech stack, an LCMS empowers you to get the job done from a single, powerful system, from elearning modules to software simulations to knowledge-base themes and much more. (available in the dominKnow LCMS!). A true learning content management system goes beyond the authoring and focuses on the ‘management’ of the content, which when you have a large team or produce large amounts of content, can add up to be an insurmountable task when delivering on multiple business goals, across many teams, languages, and frequent updates to your growing library of content.

If you can more intelligently build your courseware in a way that reuses assets and can satisfy multiple needs from a single course creation process, you will start to achieve your organization’s goals more quickly while saving time on driving a better overall experience. For organizations building simple, straightforward eLearning courses, standalone authoring tools like LMS-based authoring can work just fine. These tools produce courses that are superior to PowerPoint presentations – the learner consumes the content on the screen, then clicks next to consume the next piece of content – rinse and repeat for the entire course. These courses are quick and easy to build, but learners get bored of content that looks and feels the same and will disengage from the content and simply aim to complete it. Switching to an LCMS helps you turbo charge your learning content creation (and ongoing management) process. Instead of creating one course at a time, you can create a piece of content once and spin it into multiple assets, across multiple channels, at the touch of a button thanks to a single-sourcing methodology. This helps you scale much faster by creating many assets at a time, not just a single SCORM course, making LCMS content authoring a much more efficient process. For instance, instead of creating 10 different courses with tweaks for different job roles or translated into different languages, an LCMS’s authoring capabilities allow you to create one “master course”, which can automatically be remixed into as many other formats, languages and versions as you need with less ‘busy work’. Imagine one course, 15 languages. Yes, it’s possible with new multi-lingual functionality introduced in The dominKnow | ONE Platform. In the vast majority of standalone authoring tools, you will create a single branded template and use it for all your learning content. While it helps keep things consistent, it also means that everything you create will look and feel broadly the same, including colors, layouts and imagery (sorry Articulate, it’s true). If you’re looking to maintain learner engagement over time, it helps to mix things up and keep everything more visually interesting. With your LCMS, you have much more control over the look and feel of your content, including SCORM courses, HTML templates, searchable knowledge bases and smaller, standalone assets, without the additional effort it would require in a standalone authoring tool. It’s the best of both worlds – more creative control without all the extra work, meaning you ensure your learning looks its best. You also have granular control over author permissions, so you can ensure authors don’t stray from the confines of the team you’ve assigned them to, whether that’s a different division, product line, or geography that operates under specific parameters with specific branding implications. One of the most frustrating things about standalone authoring tools is having to repeat the same tedious tasks over and over again – especially if you’re building multiple, very similar courses or assets. Even tasks like finding the right graphic for a course without reuploading or duplicating files (which will impede quick updates later on) can be time consuming, quickly turning what should be an easy task into a long, monotonous effort. The LCMS, in contrast, allows you to get much smarter about the way you manage and reuse assets such as courses and learning objects. Instead of creating a course once and only using it in your LMS, you have the power to create a course once and use it many times in many ways, whether that’s chopping it up into bite-sized microlearning, personalizing by location- or role-specific information or switching up the way the content is delivered. This makes content creation much more scalable, efficient, and impactful. It also saves a huge amount of time and energy by eliminating duplicated effort. When it comes to learning content authoring, initially creating the content is only half the story. It’s easy to forget that somewhere down the line, you’ll need to update your content, whether that’s to bring it up to date, to align with new brand guidelines or to add new information. Publishing through a cloud-based publishing engine allows you to streamline the content creation process across multiple channels. Your LCMS content lives on a live link, and you can (re)publish those links directly from the authoring interface. With an LCMS platform like dominKnow | ONE, Convey - the multichannel publishing engine, makes it easy to update and publish once across your LMS, workspaces (such as Google or SharePoint), websites, knowledge bases and more. This saves you huge amounts of time, as you don’t need to go through a tedious process to update content individually on each channel and upload new files or submit tickets for admins to perform the work. dominKnow is also WCAG AA 2.2 compliant, which ensures that your content remains accessible no matter what device your learners are using, helping you level up your mobile learning content while maintaining the engaging interactivity that modern learners demand. Case study: Financial services company eliminates duplicate course authoring This financial services team used to create its formal and informal compliance training separately. This left space for inconsistent information to be shared across different content formats, as well as doubling the content authoring processes and development costs. There’s no room for inconsistencies in the high-stakes world of financial compliance, so this company needed a new way to make it quicker, easier and less cumbersome to share vital compliance training across the business. This client chose to implement the dominKnow | ONE LCMS as its single centralized content creation, management and publishing platform, along with Convey for the dynamic publishing of content across channels.‍ With dominKnow | ONE, the client can now create content once and publish it across multiple platforms, ensuring everyone receives consistent, accurate compliance training. This has eliminated duplicate effort for producing separate content for formal and informal learning, and saves the client more than $100,000 a year in staff costs resulting from authoring and QA efficiencies. dominKnow | ONE’s WCAG 2.2 accessibility standards also reduces the client’s exposure to legal and financial risks, as all content this client produces must be 100% accessible, no matter the format or subject matter.‍ Read the full case study dominKnow | ONE makes it easy for organizations of all shapes and sizes to take back control of their content authoring processes, making it significantly faster and easier to create consistent, high-impact, engaging learning content across multiple formats and channels.

Recently, we talked about all the different types of content that we've made reusable in dominKnow | ONE, from entire Learning Objects to themes and glossary items. However, it's not just what you can reuse that makes dominKnow | ONE so effective for recycling your eLearning content. It's how. We've included features that help you get the most out of your reused content, including a thorough and embedded search function, the separation of content from style, the ability to globally update content (or not), and various management capabilities. As anyone with a junk drawer knows, you can't use something unless you can find it when you need it. That's why dominKnow | ONE has several convenient ways to organize, browse, and search for the content you want to reuse. We've always had some pretty nifty tagging and organizational options, but in 2021, we added a powerful search function to our authoring interface. With just a couple clicks, you can easily search your entire library of content for reusable Learning Objects, individual pages or questions, and assets like documents or media files. The text search scours all content and its associated metadata, so your search will benefit from the ability to add names, descriptions, tags, and more to elements and objects at the course, topic, page, and individual item levels. Authors can further refine the results by filtering to specific categories, course types, and collections. Search results are impacted by the permissions settings for both the user and the content, but we've made it easy to opt content in for general reapplication. An admin just needs to tick the "searchable" setting to let any author find and duplicate the content into a project – even if they don't have read/write access to the source content. Once an author has run their search, they can access a convenient preview to make sure they're inserting the intended content. It's thorough – if you searched for a Learning Object, you'll be able to preview all pages plus test questions. This can help you decide whether to insert the LO as a new instance or whether you want to keep it linked for global updating. Which brings us to our second method for optimizing reuse in dominKnow | ONE. What many of our competitors market as reuse is, in fact, static duplication – ginned-up copy and paste. For example, you can share slides with collaborators if you have Articulate 360 Teams. You add the current version of a slide to a common library and others copy the slide into projects where it's needed. The problem with this method is that if and when the shared slide gets updated, all previous "reuses" will remain out of date unless someone hunts them down one-by-one and edits or overwrites them. These duplication-style repositories save some time during initial production but have zero benefit for later edits and updates. In dominKnow | ONE, reuses for most content types remain linked together so you can push global updates in the future. This is an enormous time-saver if you reuse a large volume of eLearning content that needs updating from time to time. You won't need to edit individual projects one at a time. You'll update the content once, and the latest version will be pulled into each project dynamically the next time you open it up or hit publish. You'll automatically push the most up-to-date version of the content to your audience, every time. Learning Objects, media files, linked documents, glossary items, citations, HTML widgets, and publishing profiles all work this way. So do the project themes that dictate the look and feel. If your organization's branding guidelines change, it's just a few clicks to a universal update of all your eLearning. Bonus? Associated metadata, transcripts, and closed caption files also get dynamically reused. Of course, you can choose to duplicate content without leaving it linked for global updates. You'll be given the option to simply make a copy when you insert existing content into a new project. In dominKnow | ONE, style and content can each be globally updated, but they're stored independently of one another for maximum effect. The dominKnow | ONE theme you choose, customize, or create from scratch will dictate the text style, color scheme, and other attributes, much like a style sheet impacts the look and feel of a website. How does this impact reusability? When you share a piece of content across multiple projects, the content will take on local style settings. Every instance of a reused Learning Object, for example, will look native to the project being viewed – no tinkering required. Compare this, again, to Articulate 360's shared team slides. When you copy a shared slide into a project with a different look and feel, it'll stand out like a sore thumb until you take the time to manually update the formatting. This separation of style and substance is useful for distributing the same content to multiple audiences that require different branding. It's also great for reusing the same eLearning resources across multiple eLearning modes, like formal courses, job aids, infographics, webpages, and searchable knowledge bases. Combined with the ability to globally update reused content, it's a recipe for efficiency and flexibility. It allows you to create and update a web of targeted training material using the fewest resources possible. Strong centralized administrative control is a key feature of dominKnow | ONE, and the reusability features are no exception. Access and permissions settings apply to reusability, but as we mentioned above, we've made adding reusable content a separate permission from editing it. This distinction can come in handy on big teams when you want to limit the editing of key reusable assets while leaving them available to everyone for employ. When you have a lot of collaborators, it's also useful to know who's changed what and how. That's why the system tracks the creation and editing of eLearning content; you can find this information in the Properties tab. For individual pages, versions are created, and Authors are prompted to enter optional descriptive comments when they commit their page and enable another user to edit it. For Learning Objects and other items, “who” and “when” is automatically recorded. Finally, when you reuse eLearning content, you want easy access to data on where and how various content is being reused. Anyone authorized to see a piece of reusable content can easily access a list of instances through the Properties tab. Admins can also generate more detailed reports that can be filtered and exported related to reuse for Learning Objects, themes, course copies and translations, glossary items, and citations. Now that you understand the reusability features and the types of content they apply to, you can probably imagine the ways they'll make your life easier. Just to be sure, we'll do a full break-down of the use cases in a few weeks – there might be a few that surprise you!

Is your L&D engagement strategy focused on who showed up or through course completions in your LMS? It's time to think bigger. Basic metrics often fail to show the real impact learning is having or not having on your business. In our recent IDIODC episode, Becky Willis, a learning strategist with Tractus highlighted how true engagement drives employee growth, builds critical skills, and delivers measurable business outcomes. In this article we explore how L&D leaders can shift their focus from tracking less impactful activity to fostering strategic engagement that makes a difference to a business's bottom line. The most common measurements of Learning and Development 'effectiveness' are completions and attendance. As Becky points out, this provides minimal insight into your learners' actual engagement with the content and its application to their work. At one point in her career at HP, Ms. Willis noted that only 8% of employees were using a major content library they had deployed. It wasn't until further investigation that they discovered one of the core reasons was that their learners simply felt overwhelmed with choices. They were not engaging at almost any level because they couldn't easily find what they needed and didn’t have any directed assistance in choosing the content that best fit their needs. To begin capturing meaningful engagement in your organization, Becky argues that you need to change not only what you are measuring but also how you are approaching learning. Some of these changes include: As you begin to implement these types of changes, you will want to make sure you have or seek out a modern learning platform that can enable the capturing and reporting of multiple measure points so you can begin to tap into these changes and assess their level of impact. Why does the shift away from vanity metrics matter? Because disengaged employees are costly. Ensuring that your workforce is properly engaged delivers tangible, long-term business benefits: Most organizations worry about retention. The 2025 LinkedIn Workplace Learning Report (PDF) shows 90% of employees would stay longer if companies invested in their skills. This addresses the critical priority of upskilling. Engaged learners acquire and apply skills faster, boosting job performance, quality, and productivity. Measuring the long-term impact often shows significant ROI. Meanwhile, disengagement leads to errors and slower ramp-up times. With rapid AI evolution and adoption, workforce adaptability is key. The LinkedIn report notes adapting to AI/automation is a top L&D focus. Engaged learners are better equipped for change. In today's landscape, humans with AI will replace those without. Ignoring more meaningful engagement means missing these benefits, failing on skills gaps, and losing talent. Despite clear benefits, L&D often struggles for executive buy-in. Becky highlighted a startling statistic: 51% of executives don't believe learning is worth the money or time. Why the disconnect? L&D often talks about activities (courses, completions), while executives care about outcomes (revenue, costs, efficiency). To bridge this gap: Focusing on business outcomes is central to advancing L&D's maturity. Becky referenced a Learning Maturity Model by David James, which outlines five levels from reactive compliance-focused order-taking to transformative strategic partnership. The sobering reality? Two-thirds of companies are stuck at levels 1 (Unconscious Learning Delivery) or 2 (Conscious Learning Delivery) - either in reactive mode or running underutilized content libraries. Moving up requires a strategic mindset, executive buy-in, modern technology, and a comprehensive approach. To systematically build strategic engagement and advance organizational learning maturity, Becky and Tractus Learning advocate the 5 Es of Learning Engagement framework: Without leadership support, resources and cultural change are nearly impossible. Executives set the tone, and visible participation signals that learning is valued organization wide. Track success through executive sponsor numbers, leadership participation frequency, and engagement rates in teams with visible leadership support. Outdated technology kills motivation. Modern platforms enable personalization, social learning, skills development, and robust analytics needed to advance beyond basic L&D maturity. If budget constraints exist, consider adding an LXP layer or focusing on curation and SME involvement within existing systems. Modern platforms inherently support diverse learning styles and self-regulated learning more effectively. Learning competes for attention. Effective marketing answers, "What's in it for me?" and connects learning opportunities to personal and professional goals. Develop monthly learning calendars, align topics with business strategy, and partner with communications and HR teams. Ensure gamification is tied to genuine motivation rather than superficial point systems. Internal subject matter experts and influencers bring credibility and relevance that external content often lacks. They can curate materials, share insights, answer questions, and foster team collaboration. Make participation easy, respect time constraints, and clearly demonstrate the value of their contributions. Sustainable engagement comes from learners taking ownership of their development. Autonomy and relevance drive adult learning and foster the self-regulation skills needed for lifelong learning. Key empowerment strategies: Provide the right tools, clear pathways, manager support, and consistent communication about career development and internal mobility. Viewed strategically, learner engagement is a business imperative, not just an L&D task. We must elevate the conversation beyond completions to focus on building skills, retaining talent, and driving measurable results. By adopting frameworks like the 5 Es, securing executive buy-in, leveraging modern technology, and consistently communicating value, L&D can transform from a perceived cost center into a vital engine for organizational growth. Implementing the 5 Es framework requires the right authoring technology, collaborative and operational workflows. dominKnow | ONE is designed to support your learner engagement transformation across all five areas: Executive Buy-In: Align with business objectives by partnering with leaders.

Stuck in inflexible pages, much of today’s learning material remains trapped in traditional formal vehicles like eLearning courses or presentations. As a result, learning content – and the time and effort that goes into it –is often poorly leveraged. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Organizations are awaking to the importance content plays as a competitive differentiator and are now demanding tools and processes that allow them to gather, create, organize, disperse, and re-use learning content in multiple ways, across multiple learning vehicles.Today’s learning content development tools need to support the creation of single-source, multi-purpose content for both formal and informal learning experiences. There’s been a rush for authoring tool vendors to get on the responsive band-wagon. That’s great news for those wanting to develop content that can be accessed on multiple devices and used in multiple ways, but beware, not all responsive tools are created equal. Stay away from vendors that enforce a dumbed-down approach to learning content development. Templated, fill-in-the-blank, or block-based tools help get stuff out the door and satisfy the responsive checkbox, but they often don’t satisfy the learning need. Today’s learning organizations must adjust to the rapidly changing content requirements of their audiences. Whether it’s evolving regulations, product updates, or changing business drivers, training departments must deliver content that is relevant and useful — with little or no delay. Learning content developers need to make the best learning experiences possible — quickly and efficiently. Don’t settle for an uncompromising content development experience. Platforms and tools exist that offer both powerful features AND simple to-use environments. Always keep in mind that it’s not about creating great eLearning, it’s about building and sharing great learning experiences— and then maximizing your content use and value.

Looking for ways to boost your sales productivity as a company? You've probably seen the advice to invest in training. While training can and will increase sales productivity, first you might want to consider training's leaner and meaner sibling: the humble job aid. Job aids (which are a form of microlearning) provide immediate access to important information, formatted for convenient look-up and easy digestion. They can come in the form of cheat sheets, videos, checklists, flowcharts, reference guides, and the like. These sales enablement resources can be deployed faster and cheaper than traditional training, ROI is superior because they’re used in the flow of work, and they tend to be more engaging than traditional training methods. Here are five ways you can use job aids to increase your sales team's productivity. According to Forrester research, only 30% of executive-level buyers feel that vendor salespeople create value and meet their expectations during the first meeting. The inability to answer questions was a source of disappointment for 70% of respondents. No salesperson can have all the answers, but ready access to the right information helps them instill confidence in your company and product. In the long run, consistently knowledgeable sales reps will be more effective in generating meetings with executive buyers. However, the more concrete factor here is that placing helpful information at your seller’s fingertips will save time and shorten the sales cycle. A prospect asks a question that your salesperson doesn't know the answer to. As soon as the meeting is done, they ask around the department to see if anyone on their team knows the answer, starting a long journey through dispersed resources to find the right information. The prospect might appreciate their diligence in returning an answer, but by the time they do, the moment for gaining traction may have passed. Even if that prospect goes in the win column, the lack of effective access to information stretched out the sales cycle. Right now, you may have one sales rep who's a rock star at selling to a lucrative industry, another with expert knowledge of all your product's features, and a third who is a wizard at overcoming competitor objections. You also have those mediocre performers, plus a few new additions who are promising but still struggling to find their feet. Wouldn't it be great if you could help each of them get the magic that marks your best performers? Buyer personas and talk tracks help your sales reps anticipate and speak to specific pain points from the best possible angle. Competitor battlecards and comparison charts make them better at positioning your product against alternatives. Objection-handling cheat sheets enable them to lay a buyer's fears to rest on the spot with a compelling rebuttal. Playbooks and checklists help guide new hires and ensure that your sales process is implemented consistently. These materials have great ROI because they provide individual sellers with immediate access to the information, arguments, and approaches they need in the flow of work. This immediately increases sales productivity, evens out the results from person to person, and makes it easier for new hires to ramp up to success. According to the competitor-tracking software Crayon, 66% of sales opportunities are competitive in the B2B software space. Across all industries, they say it’s 47%. Your win rate is influenced by how well your sellers can understand competitive products and strategic position against them. Any resources to support that capability can have a sizeable impact on sales quota attainment. Competitor battle cards should focus on a few areas: You should also lay out your competitor’s strengths and effective ways to respond. Talk to your top performers about how they handle these objections and use their tactics to inform your competitive intelligence job aids. Competitor cards should also have a section for recent field intelligence. Is the competitor changing a beloved feature? Have they changed their support model? Include the source of the intel, to delve into greater detail if the situation requires it. You rely on the data in your CRM to calculate success metrics and make accurate forecasts. If the data is dirty, incomplete, or inconsistent, any insights you are attempting to gain also come with risks. The best insights come from a well-defined sales process with distinct stages, qualifying criteria, and processes for moving a prospect through the pipeline. Of course, it doesn’t matter how well-defined your sales process is unless your sales reps stick to it explicitly. Job aids are exceptionally good at reinforcing a consistent process. Flowcharts and checklists will be key. They can help people learn new requirements in the flow of work, and later they’ll ensure comprehensiveness and consistency. It’s easy to omit things by accident when you do them every day, which is why job aids can be a lifelong resource. It works for surgeons and airline pilots; it can work for you. When sales representatives speak intelligently to buyer's needs and concerns, they’re more successful. Unfortunately, their inability to do so is a big point of contention among the people that count. Circling back to the Forrester study, executive-level buyers said that salespeople lack the level of knowledge they need about buyers’ issues (77%), roles and responsibilities (76%), their specific business (75%), and their industry (57%). Luckily, flow-of-work resources in three areas can address the problem. The average enterprise deal involves the agreement of seven decision-makers, each of whom has a separate set of pain points and priorities. None of them want to waste their time with a pitch aimed at the wrong level. It’s critical for your salespeople to understand the different job titles they must win over as they move up the ladder and know how to alter their pitch as they go from procurement-level employees to executive-level buyers. Buyer personas are a clear fit for this problem, but make them actionable, not academic. A list of goals and challenges may be a useful reference, but they aren’t a job aid. Take things a step further with information on how to speak to the persona: relevant value props, objection handling tips, speaking their ‘language’ etc. According to MarketingCharts, 89% of executives consider industry-tailored sales pitches "absolutely essential" or "very important" for B2B sales. If you’re targeting particular business sectors, your sellers need cheat sheets that highlight the challenges and needs of those businesses, especially in relation to changing trends. How can your product help solve their special pain points? What industry terms should sales reps use to speak their buyer's language? Make them appear as industry experts and they will have much more credibility in the sales process. ‍ When it comes to buyer’s issues that must be understood, regulations are a big one. Sales reps need to understand the regulatory pressures their buyers face, especially if your products could interface with or affect your customer's compliance. You need to provide quick references for accurately speaking to regulatory issues, for two reasons. One: regulatory requirements can vary from state to state and year to year. Your salespeople will need assistance keeping the details straight. Two: businesses want to be sure that your products will not cause regulatory migraines down the line. They expect sales to address compliance concerns with a strong degree of confidence and knowledge. If your reps can't lay these fears to rest, there's no way they'll be able to close these clients. Job aids for regulatory issues should be regularly updated and, when needed, state specific. This will help your salespeople be seen as experts, provide accurate information, and reassure buyers. There are a couple of common problems with job aids that we haven’t addressed until now. Having key information readily available can dramatically increase the effectiveness of your sales pipeline. The challenge is ensuring that sales reps find the info they need in the right place at the right time. You need the same information in multiple places and formats where your sellers are conditioned to look. With most content authoring solutions, it’s expensive and time-consuming to author and update scattered resources across multiple formats. As effective as job aids can be, their upkeep and distribution can be big limiting factors without the right tool. The other problem? You can only accumulate so many job aids before it’s difficult for sellers to locate the right resource on short notice. Both of those issues can be particularly troublesome for high-growth organizations, where frequent change demands resources that can be deployed quickly, updated frequently, and located easily at the moment of need.

Recently, we talked about how dominKnow | ONE helps you make the most of reusable eLearning content. There are a lot of ways our eLearning content reuse features can help you save time and money, but there are five common use cases that we see. Let's start with one of the most straightforward forms of content customization in dominKnow | ONE: identical content dressed up in multiple themes. In a previous article, we discussed how the style and substance are stored separately in dominKnow | ONE, which allows you to reuse content without manual reformatting. dominKnow | ONE's reusable themes are highly customizable. Whether you start from a system theme or build one from scratch, you have all the options required to reflect your organization's branding. Then, you can essentially apply the skin to your content. That makes it a snap to develop, distribute, and update a single course with several different looks and feels – whether you're an internal L&D team that serves common content to multiple brands or an eLearning contractor white labeling your courses for multiple clients. Regulatory training – whether you're talking about harassment, occupational safety, or food hygiene – often has multiple layers of content determined by jurisdiction. Typically, there are basic concepts that everyone needs to learn, the overarching regulations they must follow, and the local regulations that apply. If you operate in multiple jurisdictions across a single country, the "universal" content may include the conceptual stuff and national regulations, but content will vary by local jurisdiction (state/commonwealth/province or smaller). If you operate internationally, then you may need three or more levels. Regardless of the scale, this is where dominKnow | ONE's reusable Learning Objects (LOs) come into play. LOs give you a tidy way to bundle learning content and assessment questions into a single unit for easy reuse and recombination. Perhaps as an international organization, you organize a regulatory topic around four LOs: general concepts, international law, national regulations, and local. To the learner, these can be combined into a seamless learning experience, including, if you choose, a single comprehensive final assessment. They won't have to know that the content is segmented on the backend, but you'll still get the benefits of easier management through Learning Object reuse. Audience targeting isn't unique to jurisdictional issues. Many training topics require some information that's relevant to everyone in your organization and some that's necessary based on the learner's division, department, area of expertise, or role. It's likely that one or more shared LOs will come in handy for reusing chunks of content applicable to all or part of your organization. Think: an introduction, background information, organization-wide policy, or a roll-out timeline. However, dominKnow | ONE supports more granular types of content reuse that you can leverage within the more targeted content. Say you're training an entire organization on a new product. Your sales and tech support teams will need to learn the product from very different angles, but there will be content overlap. You may need to teach all teams about the same features but highlight different takeaways or discuss different role-based scenarios. This is where other reusable eLearning content can come into play, like graphics, video, audio, linked documents, glossary items, and references or citations. Shared content can be embedded into each team's customized content to illustrate concepts that are relevant to everyone. Later, you'll be able to edit that shared content in one place for global updates – including its metadata and supporting pieces like transcripts or closed caption files. Almost every organization can benefit from maintaining at least two formats for most topics – formal and informal learning. After all, there are five moments of need in any learning process, and formal eLearning content can only meet two of them. Inevitably, your learners will need to access the same information again as they use those skills or products, problem-solve, and navigate changing processes. You can ask them to dig back into your LMS and find what they're looking for, but you're creating an artificial barrier. It's even worse if your formal learning is in a traditional, fixed-pixel format in a world where everyone first reaches for their smartphone. No one wants to log into a rarely used system, locate the right course, squint at tiny text on their mobile screen, and skip through a bunch of other content to find the three sentences they're looking for. They'll probably make up their own answer or ask the internet before they bother. If, on the other hand, you give them easy access to a mobile-friendly searchable knowledge base with all the same content as their formal courses, they're much more likely to reference and follow the training you spent good time and money building them. In dominKnow | ONE, you can easily reuse LOs, media, and more to build both formal and informal learning on the same topics with very little extra effort. When you author in our responsive mode, Flow, everything you create will appear native on all devices. You can use or adapt existing Flow themes to make a formal course, a knowledge base, and a tutorial site, among other things. Spaced repetition and distributed retrieval practice have a well-documented success record for moving information into long-term memory. Some learning objectives have built-in triggers for spaced repetition, as we discussed above. A certain time of need will organically prompt your learners to seek out the information and refresh their own memory. Performance support resources fill that need perfectly. Unfortunately, this mechanism doesn't kick in for everything you need your learners to retain and apply. Some things are easier out of sight and out of mind. Many compliance topics fall into this blind spot. You need your learners to recall and comply with these regulations, but many won't voluntarily revisit the material. With dominKnow | ONE's content reuse features, you can quickly create short follow-up refreshers for the most crucial points. When you reuse a Learning Object in a new project, it's possible to make use of the content without the assessment questions or the assessment questions without the content. You can also choose to include all the LO's questions, or you can pull random questions from the LO's pool. Here's an example of how you can put these settings to work. Learners take a formal course composed of a few different LOs, only one of which is absolutely critical for them to retain. A few weeks later, they're prompted to play a quiz game that draws questions from the critical LO. If they score well, that's that. If they score poorly, you can prompt them to take a short course that reviews the material. You can also repurpose certain assets from a formal course such as microlearning. Maybe they're required to re-watch a video with the important points, or you present an existing infographic with a short quiz afterward. The possibilities are endless. The efficient reuse of eLearning content is only one of the tricks we have up our sleeve at dominKnow. Other efficiency drivers in dominKnow | ONE include: Ready to learn more?

We've talked in the past about how content reuse is a big selling point of dominKnow | ONE. It lets you do more with less, saves time and money, and helps you with audience targeting and multimodal learning, among other things. We're constantly looking for opportunities where you might want to leverage eLearning content repeatedly across your training library, and then we keep looking for ways to make reuse as smart and effective as possible. Let's look at several different types of eLearning content you can reuse in dominKnow | ONE, how the reuse works, and what it lets you do. We'll start with the big one. In dominKnow | ONE, you can reuse entire chunks of eLearning content known as Learning Objects, or LOs. A reusable learning object includes: When you reuse each Learning Object in another project, you can adjust the LO’s settings to control which aspects to display. One project might only use the content pages without the assessment questions, while another project might use the assessment questions without the content pages. You can also, on a project-by-project basis, choose whether to use all the LO’s questions in the post-module assessment or pull random questions from that LO’s pool. The best part? When you reuse in dominKnow | ONE, we truly mean reuse. In other words, when you update an LO in dominKnow | ONE, all instances of that LO will be updated. Of course, if you want to break that linkage, you can sever a specific instance of reuse, so it becomes unique. Each project in dominKnow | ONE needs at least one LO, but to get the most out of your content, we recommend you plan ahead with potential reuse in mind. New users tend to default to a backend structure that mirrors the intended learner experience. They either put all of a project’s content into a single LO since they had to with previous tools, or they use the LOs like modules. However, you can break up a project’s eLearning content on the back end in ways that users on the front end won’t see. If a set of learning objectives will always need to be reused together, you can save yourself a little trouble by making them a single LO. But if you need to maximize your chances for reuse, then the best practice is to strategically break up a project’s eLearning content so that each Learning Object contains a single learning objective. This way, no matter how you mix and match LOs through reuse, the pool of test questions you draw on for an overall assessment will remain tied to the appropriate content. dominKnow | ONE themes are also reusable. In fact, since themes drive a project’s look and feel, branding, and navigation, they are often the most highly reused items. In dominKnow | ONE, you can build custom themes from scratch or adapt the look and feel of a system theme with options to alter the player experience, navigation options, default page content, end screens, color, font, and other style settings. In short, they’re designed to be highly customizable, providing you with all the tools you need for building eLearning content that reflects your organization's branding. Admins can view and manage all customized themes and variants, and it's incredibly simple for authors to apply existing themes to new projects (or transform an existing project by applying a new theme). This makes it easy to maintain a consistent look and feel across your materials and update it through reuse, no matter how big your eLearning library is or how many people are involved in its authoring. All media, external assets, and resources that you store in dominKnow | ONE's Media Library are reusable, including graphics, video, audio, and linked documents. In fact, an object's meta data is also reusable; it’s stored and edited centrally with the asset, so you won't have to fill them in for individual projects. Transcripts and closed caption files for video and audio also remain attached. With a nod to reuse and flexibility, descriptions are auto copied into the Alt text field for images. This saves the author from having to create this manually yet enabling them to adjust the screen reader text for specific use cases. It's also easy to see where an asset has already been reused. Authors can access a list of Projects and Pages for an individual asset via Properties. If you're dealing with a large eLearning library, you probably use the same citations and glossary terms over and over to back up your primary eLearning content. Instead of copying those kinds of resources from project to project, it's much more efficient to manage them as a common pool. That's why dominKnow | ONE's glossary terms and references have the same reusability features as media assets – you can search for and reuse individual terms or citations across projects, see the number and location of other uses via the properties tab, or generate usage reports if you're an admin. A publishing profile is a reusable set of options that affect such aspects as: In dominKnow | ONE, you can save and manage multiple publishing profiles with their own name and description. When you publish a project to an LMS, LRS, or as a web package, you can select and apply one. After initial publication, the system remembers which profile is associated with that project for future publications. If the profile is edited, changes will be reflected immediately in previewing projects and in all future publication of all associated projects. While we do try to anticipate your authoring needs with easy-to-use features and built-in widgets, the ability to add a third-party HTML widget can give you the flexibility to design outside our box. We also know that when you have a third-party HTML widget you love, you'll probably want to use it again and again. So, we made that a thing. You can reuse HTML widgets by uploading them to the Media Library as a zip file with the HTML document and its related assets. These widgets can interact with the project’s content or the course player using our contentAPI. Once uploaded, the HTML object can be inserted into any number of projects. Usage data can be accessed like any other asset. Although it’s not really an example of reuse, our centralized favorites make it easier to replicate key designs throughout your project. We recently added the ability to create a copy of layers in Claro (our fixed-pixel authoring mode) and sections in Flow (our responsive authoring mode). If you know that a Claro layer or Flow section will be useful again later, you can add it as a "favorite," either for just yourself or for anyone working collaboratively on your current project. That makes it readily available in the Add to Page panel when you need it. If you aren't that prescient, you can use the panel's full site search function to locate the Claro layer or Flow section you have in mind. While many of our reuse options maintain a link for global updating, this principle does NOT apply to reusing Claro layers and Flow sections. This type of reuse is intended to be a static "copy" function. Still a wicked time-saver! We design dominKnow | ONE to help you work smart, and our content reuse features play a big role in our mission to save you from unnecessary tedium. On the other hand, the reuse features are just the tip of the iceberg in our user-driven design. We also save you unnecessary work with pre-built interactive components, tools for building branching scenarios and software simulations, and much more.

H2: Related Resources H3: New to IDIODC? As an LCMS provider, we hear all kinds of concerns and misconceptions about learning content management systems. Sometimes, the questions are based on outdated information – problems that existed in early LCMSs that have been worked out over time. Others are based on issues that disappear when you use an LCMS/authoring tool hybrid like ours. Some are complaints that persist for some systems but that we've worked hard to eliminate in ours. The truth is, we could name dozens of common LCMS myths, but today, we're going to break down the top seven things you don't need to worry about – at least, not with dominKnow | ONE. On a semantic level, the idea that an LCMS is the same thing as a CMS is partially true, in that a Learning Content Management System is a special type of Content Management System. They certainly have more in common than an LCMS and an LMS. On a functional level, however, an LCMS and CMS are not equivalent at all, even before you consider authoring capabilities. In fact, the LCMS was invented to make up for the performance shortfalls of a typical CMS for eLearning content. If they were the same, LCMSs wouldn't exist. Like a CMS, an LCMS provides a centralized content repository with organizational and collaborative features, including the ability to control read/write permissions, track file changes, and co-author or review shared content. Unlike a CMS, an LCMS supports eLearning-specific content needs, like assessments and learning objectives. Additionally, an LCMS is capable of editing courseware, while most CMSs are limited to web content, word processing documents, spreadsheets, and basic presentations. Most importantly, an LCMS facilitates multiple levels of content reuse. Whether you're talking about a single image, a paragraph, or a whole module, content can be saved in smaller units and dynamically pulled into as many eLearning projects as needed. Plus, single-source authoring enables an entire project to be published in many different formats, with the content optimized for each medium. Robust content reuse means more efficient authoring, updating, audience targeting, and distribution. The original LCMSs were basically document management systems. They had basic authoring capabilities and facilitated eLearning publishing standards like SCORM. However, their authoring capabilities were very rudimentary. To author serious eLearning, you really needed a distinct authoring tool. The problem? The need for separate authoring software limited the utility of LCMS features. Developing more robust authoring capabilities was just good business. As a result, most LCMSs today have decent, if beginner-level, authoring capabilities. We pride ourselves on making dominKnow | ONE as much an eLearning authoring tool as it is an LCMS. We offer three authoring modes in one integrated system. Claro is our original fixed-pixel authoring tool, perfect for games, animations, and traditional eLearning courses. Flow is our fully responsive authoring experience, making it easy to create content that adapts to any screen size. Our Capture tool helps you generate software simulations that students can work through in five modes: Show Me, Guide Me, Try Me, Practice and Test. Paired with our LCMS capabilities, these authoring options offer limitless possibilities. You can create (and share content between) a wide range of eLearning projects: interactive courses, microlearning lessons, ILT presentations, games, assessments, video-based eLearning, infographics, searchable knowledge bases, job aids, and more. LCMSs have a reputation for being difficult to use and best suited for advanced or technical users. This was true of the systems that premiered 15 years ago (or more). The original LCMSs were unfriendly to all but the savviest users. Unfortunately, the reputation stuck, even as the tools themselves outgrew the problem. This perception is undeserved for most of today's systems. As for dominKnow | ONE in particular, we've worked hard to make it user-friendly and adaptable to the needs of those with different skill levels. You'll find that content organization is intuitive to the modern user. It utilizes familiar features like categories, tags, complex filtering, drag-and-drop uploads, and mass action tools. The authoring workspace, too, is adaptable to a user's role and experience. Beginners can have a slimmed-down interface with basic authoring options, while experienced authors can access advanced features. Even novices will find they're able to create complex learning experiences with our WYSIWYG tools. For example, our Scenario Builder widget generates interactive branching scenarios with zero programming. Capture makes software demonstrations a no-brainer – just perform the process you want to teach and adjust a few settings. Plus, our inline tips guide newbies towards eLearning best practices within their workflow. However, we didn't want to sacrifice the potential for innovation while providing ease of use. Advanced users can tap into the full power of customization by setting up custom actions, using variables and more. Meanwhile, you can provide Subject Matter Experts and other reviewers with a simple feedback experience within the same app. Better yet, the review workflow facilitates in-context communication and issue resolution – everything gathered in one place, no separate tools or integrations needed. This one's another throwback. Though it's always worth confirming the portability of a specific tool's output before you commit, most modern LCMSs are HTML- and XML-based. In other words, there are built-in mechanisms that make it easy to export your content and transfer it to another tool. Content authored in dominKnow | ONE is 100% composed of HTML5. That guarantees not only cross-platform compatibility for your eLearning – it also means that projects can be exported and moved at your discretion. Additionally, dominKnow can often help jump-start content migration into our LCMS from another tool. Our mass-conversion services involve guided importation of content from similar standards-based tools. The goal of these services is to migrate and convert your existing content into fully editable projects that retain formatting, facilitate dynamic content reuse, and look as "at home" as possible in your new system. To learn more, keep an eye out for our upcoming case study on this topic! Finally, we provide a variety of publishing options to free your eLearning from an LMS, including web, print, desktop, mobile app, and LRS via xAPI. Of course, we support traditional publishing as well – our content is fully SCORM-, AICC-, and PENS-compliant. This is obviously a newer concern – the original LCMSs relied on local networks, not the worldwide web. These days, most LCMSs are cloud-based and require an active internet connection. This makes a lot of folks nervous. We get it. When you've got things to do, nobody likes losing time to technical difficulties. Many potential clients worry about what will happen if they need to work offline. We encourage them to consider how likely that is in relation to…say, a hard drive crash or other hardware failure. While your circumstances could be different, few people these days have unstable access to the internet – we're always connected. Even when things go awry, we can reach for stop-gaps like mobile tethering or coffee shops with wifi. Another concern is speed, which can be a problem. That's why we've worked hard to enhance dominKnow | ONE's responsiveness. We keep the data conversion between desktop and server as minimal as possible to keep everything working smooth. Despite the nerves you might feel from changing the way you work, the fact is that in most cases, cloud-based software reduces the risk of losing work product. Cloud storage means never losing a critical file to hard drive corruption or worrying if you hit save before a forced reboot. In a cloud-based tool, changes are automatically saved at frequent intervals, and files are backed up on multiple servers to prevent loss. Keeping your team's work in the cloud also protects you from losing file access if someone quits on bad terms or vacations for a month at an "unplugged" ashram. Working in the cloud can certainly be an adjustment, but it does eliminate many logistical nightmares, especially if you work on projects collaboratively with a team. This may still be the case for some LCMSs, so keep it in mind while you choose. However, many services let you offload IT responsibilities on the software provider, thereby reducing your IT footprint. For example, dominKnow offers hosting options that can simplify the hassles for many clients. Server resources become our problem, not yours. Issues with our software won't go to an IT person who's never seen our platform – you'll rely on our helpful experts, instead. You'll also be using our servers' processing power, which lightens your workstation's load. Software updates, security, and file backups stop being a distraction to individual workers. Instead, these things happen on our end, and your staff never has to see it. Magic! It's true that an LCMS becomes increasingly necessary with size, but it can help any kind of team overcome a variety of challenges. The number of people creating content isn't always the complicating factor. Sometimes it's the volume of learning content or the number of publishing formats. The shelf-life of your content plays a role, as does the size and diversity of your learning audience. Even team size is a little less straightforward than you might think. Don't just consider the people who are authoring traditional eLearning. Consider supervisors, SMEs, and stakeholders who provide feedback. Consider other departments creating job aids, knowledge bases, and other learning content outside your L&D team. Consider the turnover you expect from all those positions. Consider information security and the safety of your organization's intellectual property. Consider geographic distribution – it's common for small teams to be fully remote, which complicates their teamwork. All of these problems can be resolved with a centralized platform that facilitates collaboration and content reuse.

As part of our upcoming Masterclass in Accessible and Inclusive Learning Content on June 13 at 11 am ET, we’ve asked our guest, Susi Miller to share her thoughts in a two-part blog. This is part two. In my last blog post, I explored the difference between accessible and inclusive learning content. I explained that making learning content accessible is generally considered to mean meeting guidelines which are often required by law. Making learning content inclusive, however, goes beyond technical standards. It means providing a welcoming learning experience where no one feels excluded. In this blog, I move on to explore the “why” of accessible and inclusive learning content. In other words, the many incentives that are making more and more organisations commit to providing learning content which everyone can use and which supports inclusion. There are many well-documented organisational benefits to making all digital content including learning resources accessible. These include: In addition to these broader benefits of making digital content accessible, my own experience as a learning practitioner and my extensive training and auditing work with a wide range of organizations have highlighted two other advantages which apply specifically to learning resources. The first is that learning how to design accessible and inclusive learning content leads to better learning practitioners. The second is that these better learning practitioners design better learning experiences - for everyone. These are just a few of the ways I’ve found that designing content which is accessible and inclusive leads to better learning practitioners. Let’s move on now to explore how these better learning practitioners create better learning experiences. These are just a few ways I’ve found that designing content which is accessible and inclusive leads to better learning experiences. One of my favourite quotes about accessibility is from advocate Jutta Treviranus who said, "We know about the importance of diversity in biodiversity and economics, but human diversity is something that we seem to think is a problem, it’s an issue to solve. But we don’t recognize it for the treasure that it is." I firmly believe that appreciating the diversity of our learners and designing learning content which is accessible and inclusive is “the treasure” that can transform eLearning and make it better for everyone, including people with disabilities and access needs.

There are the needs of individual authors, the additional demands of small-to-medium organizations, and the features most useful to large enterprises.

Of course, the question of whether your authoring tool will meet or exceed expectations will depend on who you are and what you need. Topics are grouped below, but truthfully, every user or group has a pattern of needs and expectations as unique to them as a fingerprint, making it impossible to definitively predict an eLearning development team's needs based on size. However, as organization size increases, needs don't shift so much as build, and the bigger you are, the more essential some capabilities become. Individual authors' needs (and whether an authoring tool can meet them) will vary based on experience level and project specs, but ultimately, there are some demands everyone has in common. Here are a few examples. Responsive content is the future. While plenty of eLearning authoring tools now offer the ability to author responsive content, the functionality is limited for many of them. In fact, some tools' marketing materials will lead you to believe that responsive authoring means you can't develop highly engaging interactive content or more in-depth approaches such as game-based design. Don't let this fool you, as these "limitations" are simply shortcomings of that responsive tool. For example, the tool may offer a limited number of configurations for responsive content, or you may need to adjust content for different screen sizes. Certain kinds of interactivity may be missing or limited. If you're going to invest in responsive content, make sure you're choosing a tool that will rise to the top and live up to your long-term expectations. Check out this past article for a list of questions to help you gauge the robustness of a responsive authoring tool. Effective eLearning cannot live by multiple choice and true-or-false alone. A solid authoring tool should have a variety of assessment and activity formats available. Examples currently on the market include formats as familiar as fill-in-the-blank, matching, and sequencing questions, and as innovative as image hotspots, soft-skill scenarios, and software simulation. While the rise of rapid template-based eLearning authoring tools has been a boon for many, authors are often hemmed in by a list of built-in system interactions. This can be frustratingly limiting, depending on the size of the list—your mileage may vary, and authoring tools certainly do. Ultimately, you'll need to decide what fits the bill yourself. While system interactions can streamline your work, experienced eLearning development professionals often need the ability to create complex custom interactions—a capability that's not available in every tool. This becomes increasingly critical to innovative projects like designing an eLearning game. Small-to-medium organizations often hit a tipping point in the size of the content library, the number of collaborators, or both where the features they need from an authoring tool change. Authoring expectations must still be met, but additional features can streamline your workflow and increase the efficiency of eLearning development. Organizations with multiple people contributing to eLearning development need a tool that can facilitate collaboration—preferably in real time. You may try to get by using third-party tools in conjunction with the eLearning authoring tool of your choice, but you'll be shocked by how much smoother things run when you're dealing with native co-authoring, administration, and review features. When these features are part of the workflow, you can not only reduce time by as much as 25% over "integrated" solutions, but also prevent loss of critical information with features such as page versioning. Some authoring tools provide access to stock media and the ability to add custom assets but include little to no support for browsing and organizing a custom media library. Many organizations can benefit from giving their authors a shared pool of organizational assets that can be tagged, tracked, and reused in any project. And when we say "reuse," we mean update once and see all instances of the use in different projects updated. Most organizations want their eLearning courses to have a consistent and distinct look and feel that marks them as their own. Some authoring tools can be hit-and-miss at meeting these expectations. Some tools limit customization to a few key colors and an organizational logo, while other authoring tools let you tailor virtually any aspect of your style or layout. The most supportive tools make it easy to create branded templates with robust WYSIWYG design options to be used by later authors. A designer can set up various custom templates and styles that reflect your organization's branding. Then an author just picks the layout appropriate for their project and focuses on the content. Features like the ability to save a reusable theme will allow you to make universal updates to your branding later. More content, more problems. The needs of large corporations and other substantial organizations demand an extra level of complexity from their digital learning development tools. One of the biggest challenges of a big digital learning development team in the modern age is the need to keep all your intellectual property secured in a central location. Legacy authoring tools that are desktop-based certainly don't help—files can be scattered all over the place for editing, and with a workforce that demands more mobility than ever, remote file access can be a pain. A cloud-based authoring tool with strong security features such as separation of physical installs and SAML2 SSO secure login options can fix this issue. No matter where your collaborators roam, they can access and contribute to projects via browser access. Updates are saved frequently and automatically, backed up redundantly and safe from hardware malfunction, and your IP is reliably accessible to your admins at all times. Large organizations typically manage large volumes of eLearning content. That's why enterprises need an authoring tool that provides multiple levels of project organization, including the ability to create custom labels, categories, and collections. International enterprises often need eLearning projects translated into multiple languages, and while the bulk of the effort belongs to the translators themselves, an authoring tool can make this process easy or especially tedious. Some authoring tools support a larger number of languages than others, which is obviously a key factor. When tools have equivalent language support, look for a streamlined translation workflow, ease-of-use features for unique styles such as right-to-left languages, and organizational features designed for managing multilingual courses. When selecting an authoring tool, strongly consider content development costs. Features such as the ones we reviewed can make a tremendous impact on the bottom line of your business. When we develop features for dominKnow | ONE, we try to exceed your expectations, not just meet them. We do this by listening to our users, considering the evolving needs of the eLearning community, and optimizing the solutions to those challenges. That kind of thoughtful development is why our authoring tool will exceed your expectations in each of the categories above. Want to know more about dominKnow | ONE's capabilities?

H2: Related Resources H3: New to IDIODC? Unless you’re buying every single piece of learning content from a third party, there will come a time when you need an eLearning authoring tool to help you build your own eLearning content. Whether it’s for employee onboarding, mandatory compliance training, or software training, your eLearning authoring tool is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your learning technology stack. It allows you to design more engaging, impactful learning and deliver it to the right people faster. So why does so much of your learning program’s success rely on the course authoring tool you choose? Below, we’ll explore exactly why making the right choice matters, and how to evaluate the tools on the market to find your perfect eLearning authoring tool. Before you look at product brochures, analyst reviews, or comparison grids, it’s vital to step back and clarify your goals. What do you actually need your eLearning authoring tool to do for your organization? What will be most beneficial to your L&D team? And, vitally, what will help you produce the best outcomes based on your learning goals? Some common goals you may want to achieve with your eLearning authoring tool include: Defining these priorities will help you filter out tools that don’t align with your needs. Without clear goals, it’s easy to be swayed by flashy features that might not actually solve your organization’s challenges. Once you know what you need to achieve with your eLearning authoring tool, you’ll have a way to filter out the tools that won’t help you meet these goals. For instance, if you have a large L&D team with lots of contributors and reviewers, an authoring tool that doesn’t support collaboration can instantly be ruled out. Now you know what you need to achieve with your eLearning authoring tool, it’s time to narrow down your search further. An easy way to do this is by considering your specific use case, which will often depend on the size and complexity of your organization (the two are usually, but not always, linked). For instance, does your single-sourcing need to manage eLearning alone, or eLearning plus knowledge support, instructor-led materials? Do you have content that is similar but would benefit from unique differences for different audiences? Usually, larger businesses will need to manage a wider range of content that targets multiple audience roles and different delivery modalities, so choosing a tool that supports everything you need will significantly impact efficiency. So, what’s the best authoring tool for each organizational use case? Smaller teams often want to prioritize speed and simplicity. They may not need all the bells and whistles, but instead require a tool that: In very small businesses, there may only be one person on the L&D team, or learning may even be handled by a non-L&D specialist from the HR team. For these businesses, basic cloud-based tools or lightweight authoring solutions can be ideal. They allow non-technical users to create learning content without a steep learning curve. When the organization grows, you can move up to an enterprise-class system. As organizations grow, their needs become more complex. They might require: At this stage, it’s important to look at more robust authoring tools that balance ease of use with professional-grade capabilities. There will likely be several course authors, SMEs, and reviewers contributing to eLearning content, ensuring content production processes run smoothly. Enterprise-scale organizations typically face challenges of scale, governance, and consistency. Their needs may include: These organizations often need a full-featured authoring platform rather than a standalone tool – something designed not just for creating content, but for managing it strategically. In many cases, a learning content management system (LCMS) will be a better fit than a standalone authoring tool, as it supports end-to-end content creation, management and distribution processes. They will also need greater control over their access permissions – in other words, the ability to give the right people the right access to the right content. This ensures the L&D team has more precise learning content management, and avoids accidental edits to the wrong courses. A general rule of thumb is that the more complex the organization, the more comprehensive the authoring tool will need to be to support the depth and breadth of content needed across the entire business. Once you’ve matched your goals with your organizational context, you can focus on specific features and capabilities. At this point, you can start referring to comparison grids, analyst reviews, and digging deeper into the websites and brochures of shortlisted vendors. The most important criteria to consider include: Each of these areas can have a major impact on your long-term success with the tool, so weigh them carefully against your goals. The larger and more complex your organization, the more likely it is that you’ll need to consider more of these criteria. For instance, if you know for sure you only want to publish courses in English and this won’t change in the future, you can safely ignore the translation functionality of the tools you’re considering. In other words, only judge your tools against the criteria that matter to you, both now and in the future. Many organizations run into difficulties not because they choose a “bad” tool, but because they overlook critical factors during the selection process. Here are some of the most common pitfalls: Avoiding these pitfalls will save time, money, and headaches in the long run. Once you’ve clarified your goals, reviewed use cases, and outlined evaluation criteria, you’re ready to create a shortlist of tools to explore further. To make the process easier, follow these three simple steps to whittle down your list: Building your shortlist should be relatively straightforward. Draw from analyst reviews, customer reviews on sites like G2 and Capterra, and recommendations from your L&D peers, then you can start narrowing down the options according to your predetermined criteria. First, you can immediately eliminate tools that don’t meet your non-negotiable requirements. No matter how flashy or impressive they look, if they don’t do what you need them to do, they’re not worth considering. Second, narrow the list down to three to five tools that align most closely with your goals. You can then move ahead with these authoring tools for vendor demos. When you schedule demos with eLearning authoring tool vendors, give them scenarios that reflect your actual use cases. This way, you can see how the tool performs in situations that matter to you. Bring the same scenarios to each vendor to allow you to assess each tool fairly. Based on how each vendor handles these scenarios, one tool may leap out as an obvious frontrunner, but more likely, you’ll need to drill down a little deeper with some questions. In every single demo, you should have the opportunity to ask questions about each course authoring tool. Some useful questions include: By testing real-world scenarios and asking pointed questions, you’ll quickly see which tools truly meet your needs, and which only look good on paper. Once you’ve seen the demos, you’ll want to further narrow down your search with a selection of product trials for the frontrunners. This isn’t just to “have a go” with the tools or to get a feel for how they work – it’s to answer very specific questions you may have about the features and capabilities of each authoring tool. You should create a list of specific criteria and scenarios you’ll want to try out in each trial, which you can then share with each vendor so they can guide you toward the best way to accomplish your goals in their tool. The course authoring tool market is crowded, and new tools are launching all the time. In order to keep up with the latest technologies and solutions, it’s crucial that you choose a course authoring tool that moves with the times and isn’t stuck in the past. Some of the current and emerging trends to keep an eye on include: Choosing an eLearning authoring tool that’s flexible, scalable, and continuously updated gives you the best possible chance of finding a tool that will grow with you and keep up with industry developments, no matter how learner needs evolve over time. This will help protect you from needing to constantly find and procure new authoring tools, and will support your L&D team in the long term.

In today's corporate landscape, characterized by an increasingly global and remote workforce, effective digital collaboration has evolved from a mere option to a critical component for success. Cloud-based authoring tools have emerged as transformative solutions that democratize content creation, streamline workflows, boost productivity, and provide the necessary scalability to meet the demands of growing enterprises. This guide explores how cloud-based authoring tools are revolutionizing how organizations operate, focusing on enhancing real-time collaboration and ensuring seamless integration with existing systems, and facilitating growth within an enterprise setting. We'll also discuss popular cloud-based authoring tools and their key features, focusing on how they can drive efficiency, innovation, and growth. A cloud-based eLearning authoring tool is an online platform that empowers users to create engaging and interactive learning content, lessons, and courses. These tools eliminate the need for technical programming expertise, as they come equipped with pre-programmed features and a user-friendly interface. With cloud-based eLearning authoring tools, users can leverage a range of ready-to-use templates, media elements, tools, interactions, and assessments. By offering intuitive interfaces and drag-and-drop functionalities, eLearning authoring tools make it accessible to create engaging and immersive eLearning content, regardless of technical proficiency. Users can easily incorporate multimedia elements, such as text, images, audio, and video, into their lessons or courses. Cloud-based content authoring is free from the constraints of typical desktop solutions. Users access authoring software over the Internet via a secure, affordable hosted system – without worries about software set-up, IT configurations, desktop installs, or missing software licenses. Cloud-Based Authoring Tools Provide Consistency and Flexibility For Dispersed Teams The rise of globally dispersed teams and remote work has become a significant shift in the corporate landscape. While the pandemic accelerated this trend, it has proven to have numerous benefits for businesses. The flexibility to work from home has been recognized as a valuable perk that will continue to shape the future of work. Traditional desktop tools often hinder the desired flexibility for globally dispersed teams and remote work. This is where cloud-based software comes into play, offering a seamless transition and overcoming these barriers. Cloud-based authoring tools eliminate licenses, security, and remote file access concerns. With everyone logging into the same interface they are familiar with; work can proceed smoothly regardless of physical location. Moreover, by choosing a cloud-based tool with robust native collaboration and communication features, such as dominKnow | ONE, teamwork remains simple and efficient whether the team is predominantly in the office or fully remote. The focus on globally dispersed teams and the ability to work from home has brought about a paradigm shift in how businesses operate. Cloud-based authoring tools provide the necessary infrastructure and features to ensure consistent workflows, effective collaboration, and enhanced productivity, irrespective of the physical location of team members. Cloud-Based Authoring Tools Eliminate Key Technical Difficulties When your eLearning authoring tool is cloud-based, a lot of little headaches — and some bigger ones — become things of the past. For example, everyone will be using the same software all the time. You don't have to worry about Mac versus PC, "full" desktop app versus limited web app, or whether Dave has delayed his software update so indefinitely, he's three versions back. Accessing the tool via a browser allows it to be platform-neutral and installation-free, making remote or multi-device access a snap. And since the software lives on cloud servers, updates happen automatically and are out of sight. File storage is another one. Cloud-based software automatically saves your progress frequently, securely, and in a centralized location. This means you can't lose your progress (or a whole file) to a crash, coffee spill, or the dreaded case of your desktop app letting you know your project is corrupt…for no apparent reason, and you don't need to waste time transferring files or backing up your hard drive. It also eliminates version confusion; everyone has access to the latest version of a project at any time. Cloud-based software used to introduce its own technical frustrations linked to speed and internet access, but as infrastructure and technical advances progressed, those have diminished with time. To ensure the best performance, look for cloud-based tools that provide CDN support for better global access and make efficient use of caching and state-based changes that minimize traffic and bandwidth requirements when authoring. Cloud-Based Authoring Tools Make eLearning Development More Efficient Due to the centralized storage of assets, cloud-based eLearning authoring tools introduce many opportunities to improve the efficiency of your development process. All your projects and assets are stored in one place for easy organization, backup, anywhere access, and filtering, which makes it easier to locate, update, and reuse existing eLearning. Then there are templates. While almost all solutions provide templates, cloud-based authoring tools enable you to centralize templates, themes, and layouts so your entire team can easily benefit from your collective work. In some cases, you can even do a full text and metadata search across all projects your team has ever developed to easily locate and copy or reuse a previously developed page or set of pages. All this leads to your team being able to adapt content at scale and create a consistent, brand-specific look and feel across all authors and projects. Content reuse can also provide enormous gains, especially if you engage in a lot of localization, audience targeting, or multi-modal eLearning. And don’t be fooled by creative marketing. True reuse is updated once, with changes reflected in all instances. Reuse capabilities can also vary heavily between eLearning authoring tools, so find out exactly what a tool is capable of before you commit. Special features to improve the efficiency of niche processes like translation or screen casting/software simulations can also be invaluable for eLearning teams that need them and, in the not-too-distant past, were solely available in desktop solutions. The savings resulting from these efficiencies aren't trivial or theoretical; companies report that the right cloud-based features have helped them with concrete and significant gains, like 25% development savings due to dynamic content reuse, cutting review time in half due to a built-in reviewer workflow, or a 50% reduction in translation costs by using a simplified translation process. Some cloud-based authoring software can also provide tools for ongoing improvement. For example, dominKnow | ONE facilitates the analysis of project development by providing the ability to track your progress against custom life cycles and your level of reuse. This provides critical data that can be used to improve your process over time and provide concrete proof of your efforts. Cloud-Based Authoring Tools Protect Your IP And Support Better Oversight Safeguarding your intellectual property can become a logistical nightmare when using desktop software to author eLearning. Cloud-based solutions, on the other hand, automatically provide secure access, protection from file corruption or loss, and central control of permissions by administrators. For larger teams, you’ll also want to take advantage of SSO to not only meet your internal security requirements but make access easier for your authors. The sophistication that a tool provides with its permission control can depend on the tool, so consider the needs of your team and look for tools that provide the right degree of granularity. If you oversee a large number of eLearning developers, you'll want a cloud-based authoring tool that can manage multiple teams and assign permissions and projects en masse. In addition to IP protections, cloud-based authoring can provide transparency and support your oversight efforts. Some cloud-based authoring tools let administrators see exactly what individuals have accomplished in a given period, as well as who did what. This improves accountability and credit attribution, regardless of geography or face time. Additionally, certain features can keep a project running smoothly without top-down micromanaging. Look for a cloud-based authoring tool with sophisticated check-in/check-out mechanisms, life cycle tracking, quick project-level insights, publishing checklists, and similar measures to keep the entire team on the same page and eliminate confusion or errors. Cloud-based authoring tools make more business sense In today's globalized and highly competitive business market, driving efficiency has become a top priority for organizations across all operational areas. This holds true for Learning and Development (L&D) departments as well. Just like other critical business services such as recruitment, payroll, and ERP, L&D should embrace cloud-based solutions. It is crucial for L&D to demonstrate the value they bring to the business and adapt to the organization's changing needs. To showcase value, agility is key. L&D must go beyond simply offering "rapid e-learning" and instead focus on responsiveness, flexibility, and efficient use of resources. By leveraging a cloud-based authoring tool, L&D can align with the broader business drive for efficiency and reduce IT infrastructure costs associated with per-user devices. One of the remarkable advantages of cloud-based authoring tools, and cloud platforms in general, is reliability. Unlike desktop applications that may encounter problems requiring time-consuming fixes or replacements, cloud-based tools come with Service Level Agreements that guarantee a certain level of uptime, typically between 99% and 100%. Furthermore, cloud-based authoring tools ensure seamless updates, security measures, and backups, removing the burden of managing these tasks manually. Regular backups and protection against hardware failures greatly reduce the risk of significant downtime or loss of critical work. Working in a cloud-based authoring tool minimizes the local processing power required by desktop stations. This helps reduce IT costs per unit and allows IT teams to manage their workload more effectively. Adopting a cloud-based authoring tool aligns L&D with the broader business goals of driving efficiency and agility. These tools offer guaranteed reliability, seamless updates and backups, and reduced IT costs, enabling L&D departments to deliver value while maintaining an optimized and scalable infrastructure. Cloud-based authoring tools empower teams In any L&D initiative, collaboration and involvement of various stakeholders are crucial for success. These stakeholders may include sponsors, reviewers, editors, and contributors such as Instructional Designers, video and graphics specialists, SMEs, and voice-over artists, all contributing to the final product. The geographical distribution of stakeholders doesn't have to be a barrier to effective collaboration, although it can pose challenges. Office floors or different campus locations may physically separate organizations in the same metropolitan area. This setup becomes complicated when using desktop-driven applications that rely on local storage for working files. It quickly leads to a tangle of network file transfers, email exchanges, shared folders, and administrative overhead to keep everything organized. As the famous saying goes, "Ain't nobody got time for that." This is where a cloud-based authoring tool becomes invaluable by providing a central meeting spot and repository for managing all assets. It eliminates the need for complex file transfers and facilitates content and location transparency. The beauty of a cloud-based authoring tool shines when collaboration needs to happen across distances, making it difficult or impractical to work synchronously. Cloud-based authoring tools serve as bridges, connecting you with stakeholders and the project, regardless of geographical distances. They enable real-time collaboration, build confidence through visibility, and eliminate the limitations posed by desktop tools. With a cloud-based authoring tool, you can seamlessly collaborate with stakeholders, enhance transparency, and create a truly unified and efficient learning and development experience. Cloud-based authoring tools offer better storage and revision management In the past, our file storage options were limited to our computers. We depended on the size of the C:\ drive, and when we ran out of space, we resorted to offloading files onto floppy disks (remember those?) and reloading them when needed. Now, let's fast-forward a decade or two. While modern hard drives offer significantly more storage capacity, the reliance on external devices for file storage has diminished. Instead, we rely on network drives within the work environment. However, this approach doesn't necessarily address the issues of speed and flexibility of access. If you've ever tried accessing working files exclusively through a network drive, you'll know that it can work for smaller files but becomes cumbersome as the complexity of our L&D projects increases. But don't worry. We'll delve into that further in the next section. Then we come to the challenge of file naming conventions and version management. This is where most cloud-based authoring tools shine. Cloud-based authoring tools save files incrementally, allowing you to roll back changes and work from previous versions if needed. It's truly a glorious feature. Cloud-based authoring tools provide incremental saving, version control, rollback capabilities, and consistent file management. Your files are organized, version-controlled, and easily accessible. By leveraging these tools, you can say goodbye to local storage and network drive limitations and enjoy a seamless and efficient workflow for your L&D projects. Cloud-based tools are successful for other areas of an organization because they solve real business problems. Here are five things that won’t be problems for your eLearning development team because a cloud-based authoring tool will solve them every day. ‍Cloud-based authoring tools help you work well with others This benefit is the most obvious. Creating projects in a centralized, cloud-based authoring tool can be accessed from anywhere at any time. More importantly– they can be accessed by anyone* from anywhere at any time. (* with permission – more on this in a minute!) And that sets up real opportunities for collaboration. You can work on one part of a project while your colleague works on another section, all in real-time and without any limitations on where either of you is located. No more waiting for your colleague to finish their work and send the file back to you or save it to the shared drive on the network (and then remember to let you know). I’m working on the first topic in this project, shown by the checkmarks to the left of each page title. And you can see by their avatars that my colleagues are working on pages 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 at the same time. A cloud-based authoring tool can extend collaboration beyond authoring – it also covers the review process. When it’s time to get your subject matter experts (SMEs) to provide feedback, invite them into the tool as reviewers. In the case of dominKnow | ONE, we provide a tracking workflow for all comments. And reviewers can access the project from their laptop, tablet or even smartphone to review. Cloud-based authoring tools help you share Since everything your eLearning development team creates is in one place, you can easily share content across projects. Why start from scratch if a topic is already covered in a project you did last year? You can share topics across courses and keep them synchronized for updates and changes, so it's always up to date no matter what course a topic is used in. Plus, you can mix in new topics, allowing you to address specific needs for specific audiences while still leveraging shared topics for identical content. You know that saying, “Sharing is caring”? Well, with content re-use, sharing is also cost-saving. A few years ago, a client team was rolling out an update to its employee benefits software. They needed to target two learning audiences: The course for the 20-task group was built first. Once that was done, the course for the managers was created, the lessons for 10 already-created tasks were copied into it, and a new title page and conclusion page were created. All of this took mere minutes. Plus, later on, the shared task lessons only needed to be edited once because the two courses were synchronized to receive the updates at the same time. You can also share at the more granular level of media assets as well. An image added to a page in one course is actually stored in the cloud-based authoring tool’s Media Library and is easily re-used in any other project. No need to upload a new logo for every project – just re-use the one already uploaded. And when the marketing team send you a new logo because of a branding change you can easily replace the image in the Media Library which automatically updates every page using the logo. The Media Library makes it easy to re-use any asset file like a company logo and see exactly all the courses where it’s being used. Obviously, this covers media like images, audio and video files, but it also includes documents like PDFs. Upload a PDF of the company personnel policy once and use it as a downloadable resource across a dozen HR-related courses. Next year when the policy gets updated, you only need to replace the PDF once in dominKnow | ONE, which will automatically be updated in all the courses sharing it. Cloud-based authoring tools help you keep control It’s probably obvious, but in a cloud-based authoring tool, every user has an account. Of course, this means security in the form of unique usernames and passwords. It also means the tool can provide roles and track based on each unique account. In dominKnow | ONE, we have three roles, Administrators, Authors and Reviewers. Each of these has different permission levels, so users only have access to the content they should have access to and can only perform actions related to their role (Reviewers can only provide feedback comments but not make any edits, for example). The tool also tracks users’ comings and goings. You can see reports for login details, for example. A cloud-based authoring tool automatically knows who has logged in and when, and can track that as a Login History report. Plus, as authors work on a course all the changes they make are tracked based on their unique user identity so you always know who did what. ‍ Cloud-based authoring tools help you keep it all together With a cloud-based authoring tool, your eLearning projects are all in one place. There’s no wondering, “Did Alex save the latest version of that course to the shared drive, or is it still on her computer hard drive?” If Alex leaves your team, there’s absolutely no concern about where her projects are – they’re exactly where she made them, in dominKnow | ONE. As team members change, you can assign them permission to edit past courses whenever needed. The licence seats and permissions are totally in your organization’s control. As well as searching, you can set up categories and other filters to help you find those past course projects quickly, which is a big help after your team has worked in a cloud-based authoring tool for a few years. ‍ Cloud-based authoring tools help you cover your assets Here’s one last problem your eLearning development team will never have: losing the things they’ve made. You will never lose a course project because someone’s computer hard drive has crashed. If one of our team is working and their computer goes down, they just log in on a different computer, and everything is right there just as they left it. Heck, it doesn’t matter if one computer is Windows and the other is a Mac. The tool is browser-based, so literally just log in and get back to work. You will never lose a course project because someone forgot to save it. Everything an author does is saved automatically. And cloud-based authoring tools have automatic backup policies at the server level to make sure your content stays even safer. Other features like checking content in and out and creating page versions automatically as part of the same Commit process give you even more confidence in your content. Look for the Cloud (-based Authoring Tool) with the biggest silver lining Most cloud-based authoring tools offer similar functionality at a glance, but the breadth and depth of what their software can deliver may be drastically different. It's important to dig into the limitations and capabilities of a given tool's claims when making the jump to something new. Consider your biggest challenges and what features are critical for helping you overcome them. These are the areas of functionality where you'll want to ask the most questions so you can get to the bottom of exactly how far the tool can take you. When selecting a content authoring tool, it's best to plan for the long term. Check this list and consider the numerous benefits that cloud-based software can provide as your organization grows: Best Cloud-Based Authoring Tools When it comes to eLearning authoring tools, there is a wide range of options to choose from.

H2: How a Convey user easily publishes learning as website content H2: Related Resources H3: New to IDIODC? For organizations delivering learning without an LMS—or managing training content for external audiences outside of an LMS—keeping content updated can be a relentless challenge. Tracking everything, maintaining version control, and making countless edits and tweaks can feel never-ending. Just as you finish, it’s often time to do it all over again. Supporting content outside your LMS doesn’t mean learning content management needs to be a struggle. In fact, there’s a surprisingly simple solution that will make your life a lot easier … and no, it has nothing to do with getting an LMS! The traditional content management process is far from ideal for learning teams publishing content outside of an LMS. You will (hopefully) have a spreadsheet detailing where each version of your content exists, whether that’s on an intranet, on SharePoint, in an eCommerce catalog, on different customer platforms, on a website or natively within a product. Every time you need to update a piece of eLearning – for example, to update product training in a support portal – it kick-starts a multi-step process to trawl through your documentation, find every single course, make the updates to the source files (or work with multiple platform owners to make the updates), then publish the new file version(s). This, understandably, can take days, weeks. or even months. If you have to do this every single time you need to update a piece of content, it’s easy to see how fast this process can become unmanageable. There are all sorts of reasons you may need to update your eLearning content, including: If you spot a typo or a broken image in an eLearning course, and you face the traditional content updating process, it can be very tempting to let it slide until you have enough issues to make the effort worth it… but if this is part of a customer training program, how will these little errors affect the way they perceive the value of your product? And what happens when the inconsistencies between versions start adding up? There’s a better way to manage your content! Even if you’re not using an LMS, you can still benefit from the efficiency of dynamic content delivery. Dynamic content delivery means you can edit source content once, and update every single existing copy, no matter where they’re hosted, at the touch of a button. That’s right – no need to painstakingly edit, reupload, and republish tens or hundreds of versions of the same eLearning course. Simply update your existing publish targets, then updates are sent to the live link, whether they live on your internal systems or on customer platforms. So, how does it work? It’s surprisingly simple: using a self-hosted “web package,” dynamic content delivery allows you to use a dynamic link, not a static file, on each platform. Think of it like accessing a Google Doc, which can be updated in real time, vs a static text document, which needs to be reuploaded and republished every time a new version is created. Then, with a single click, any edits made to the source files can be published instantly, to your course, wherever it lives. A dynamic publishing service can reduce the time spent finding, posting, updating, and maintaining informal learning content by as much as 90%. It can often surprise learning teams who use content outside an LMS, as well as inside it, that dynamic content delivery is a viable option for both delivery methods. In fact, almost all of the time, it’s a significantly better option than the traditional method of content delivery, and it pays higher dividends the more content you have to support! Dynamic content delivery is suitable for everything from full eLearning courses to job aids, and from instructor-led materials to just-in-time performance support assets. Maybe you email them to learners on an ad hoc basis, or they’re stored on SharePoint, or they’re available directly within your HR system, or are hosted and sold on a website. Traditional learning content management, where you upload static files, results in a nightmare of spreadsheets and manual processes to track content consumption if you’re hosting content outside the LMS, while an LCMS and dynamic content delivery can take care of the entire content management and tracking process for you. With the LCMS you’ll have ways to better organize your content, reports that can help confirm if content was updated since the last publish, and with Dynamic Delivery, your distribution process will be made painless. These aspects are particularly useful for organizations with limited content manager or webmaster resources. For these businesses, dynamic content delivery puts the power into the hands of the content authors themselves, making them much more self-sufficient by allowing them to share new and updated content instantly, no matter where the eLearning content is accessed. With traditional eLearning content delivery, it can be challenging to track and measure learning that takes place. You’re usually reliant on a collection of disparate tools to report back with your data, if you even bother going to that length at all, leading to inconsistencies and patchy reporting. With a dynamic content delivery engine, you can see how many learners are accessing a piece of content online, even without an LMS or LRS. This helps you understand if the content is useful and being visited, and can give you an insight into the way learners are engaging with your learning content. If you need even more information, you can either connect to Google Analytics or if you have an Learning Record Store (LRS) launch the package as an xAPI web link and get even more details about the learning experience. Convey is dominKnow’s dynamic content delivery tool. It streamlines the learning content distribution process by allowing your authoring team to quickly get content updates online, whether that’s on your knowledge base, intranet, website or otherwise, without being reliant on webmasters or content managers to publish content to their final destinations. Ed Hjorth, Digital Content Lead, MicroFocus (an OpenText company) With Convey, any organization managing learning content outside of an LMS can speed up the content distribution processes, no matter what or how many platforms are being used to house web content. It’s ideal for any business hosting learning content on shared workspaces, customer platforms, knowledge bases, websites or directly within products as just-in-time job aids. Keeping web learning experiences up to date is significantly streamlined thanks to Convey’s hosting server. It provides a web-accessible destination where content is hosted, giving organizations without their own LMS total flexibility over where they share eLearning resources. Convey also works seamlessly with the dominKnow | ONE Learning Content Management System (LCMS), which allows you to create, update and publish all your own content from a single authoring interface. Learning content templates mean you can create powerful learning resources at speed, and dominKnow | ONE’s single-source content approach enables you to create content once and reuse it in a multitude of formal and informal formats. When all of your formal and informal learning content is ready to go, you can publish it all simultaneously, and the updates will be reflected in every single instance of the content thanks to the SCORM stubs or web packages. There’s no duplication of effort required, making it just as quick and easy to publish a single eLearning course to a website as it is to update that same course 500 times across various knowledge bases, customer sites, intranets, file systems and more. Convey is the best dynamic content delivery tool for everyone from small businesses with one-person L&D teams to large multinational organizations delivering learning to thousands of customers worldwide, as you don’t need an LMS to update and publish eLearning content with ease. A large financial institution sought a replacement for its legacy LCMS, requiring high customization and support for HTML, JavaScript, and xAPI data. They selected dominKnow | ONE due to its powerful content creation capabilities and the ease of content distribution with Convey. The Convey dynamic publishing and hosting service allowed the client to provide a wide range of content to its learners through structured, formal self-study learning programs, which can be easily edited and updated in real-time without the need for uploading new SCORM files, and informal access to self-study learning programs. For the self-study programs, the client publishes the same courses to Convey as Public Share Links (instead of SCORM) to create website versions, with content updates automatically available when they are published to the same link. Convey's dynamic publishing and hosting service enabled the client to provide a wide range of content through structured, formal self-study programs, which can be edited and updated in real-time without needing to upload new SCORM files.
