Block-builder speed, deep custom interactions, AI-graded assessment, and instructional design coaching built in. Whether learning design is your job or the subject is, you can ship great e-learning that changes how people work.
The AI grounds every course in your material, your audience, and your design choices. You stay in the driving seat at each step - change direction, switch language, swap blocks, or take it manual at any point.
Drop the documents, slides, PDFs, or recordings the course should be built on. Add a short brief - what to focus on, what the goal is, what to leave out. The AI grounds the course in your material instead of generic content.
Tell the AI who is learning and why: their experience level, their context (compliance refresher, sales kick-off, new-hire onboarding), and what they need to do differently afterwards. Tone, examples, and pacing shift to match.
Generate the course end-to-end in any of 60 supported languages - UI, content, narration, and image prompts. Choose an image style so visuals share a consistent look across every lesson.
Optional. When enabled, the course is built around a recurring case or character whose situation threads through every lesson - and the same character appears consistently in the generated visuals, so learners see the same protagonist across every illustration. Turns a list of topics into a narrative learners actually finish.
Pick the instructional design approach (scenario-led, exposition, problem-based, drill-and-practice). Set content density (lean, balanced, deep). Tick the block types you want the AI to use. The AI respects your call - it never imposes a shape you didn't pick.
A full walkthrough — outline, lessons, AI dialogue, interactive slides, and publishing.
Practice conversations, graded essays, in-course chat, and rich simulations - configured by you, running on your course content. Each learner gets feedback that responds to their answer, not a canned message.
Drop in a situation and a character role; learners practice the conversation with an AI that stays in character and responds to their actual words. The visual stage shows the character and setting; the AI tracks whether the learner hit the learning goals.
Open-ended questions don't have to be a black hole. Define a rubric or model answer; the AI grades each submission with specific, principled feedback - what was strong, what was missing, where in the course to look next.
Learners ask questions in their own words. The AI answers using only your course material - never the open internet - and points to the slide where the answer lives so learners can verify and dig deeper.
Describe a scenario - "you're a triage nurse with three patients arriving at once" - and the AI builds the interactive simulation with branching, decisions, consequences, and feedback. Authors stay in plain language; learners get a Storyline-grade experience.
Most tools treat learning science as decoration. We treat it as the spec. Every block type, every template, every AI prompt has a principle it's trying to honour.
Cue-point questions pause videos at author-set timestamps. Flashcards run a spaced-repetition schedule learners resume across sessions. Every quiz block reports per-item performance.
→ Roediger & Karpicke, 2006Variables, triggers, and conditional states without manually wiring each path. Describe the scenario in plain text; the simulation block builds the branching for you.
→ Clark & Mayer, e-Learning & the Science of InstructionOpen-ended responses get rubric-graded feedback in seconds. Drag-and-drop, hotspots, and dialogue blocks ask learners to produce, not just recognise.
→ Chi's ICAP frameworkTalking-head videos, generated illustrations, narrated audio, and rich text live as first-class blocks - not embeds in a slide. Every lesson can mix all four.
→ Mayer, Cognitive Theory of Multimedia LearningBuild entirely without AI, or use it only where it helps - every block works either way.
Use AI to create a first version of your course based on instructional design best practices. Then refine and amend the content and interactions.
The blocks below show what's specific to LearnBuilder. Further down: what you'd expect from any serious authoring tool, all included.
Triggers, states, and conditional logic. Storyline-grade depth, authored without writing a single line of code.
Multi-turn practice conversations with AI characters that stay in role and grade against a rubric.

Most AI authoring tools build the course, then hand you off to an external LMS to deliver it. LearnBuilder skips the handoff - enrolment, progress, completion, certificates and revenue all live in the same canvas where you authored.
Click Share on the course, pick one of five access levels - from "Private - Draft" to "Public on the web". Invitation-only courses take a pasted email list and send each invitee a magic link with an expiry date. Paid courses bill through Stripe at the enrolment step.
Per-learner, per-lesson, per-block. Pick up where you left off mid-video, mid-quiz, mid-dialogue.
Group learners by team, role or course. Assign courses at the group level and track progress per group.
Optional, per course. Set a passing score. Anyone who passes downloads a PDF with their name, course title, date and a verification URL anyone can open to check the certificate is real.
Export a SCORM 1.2 package for any existing LMS. Or run courses as LTI 1.3 tools so any LTI-compliant LMS - Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard - launches them directly.
Course-level completion rate, average score, learners by status, and per-lesson completion bars. The Learners tab adds a searchable table with CSV export.
Concurrent editing with team members synchronised on block level. Let reviewers add threaded comments you can resolve inline. No more Google Doc outlines running alongside the course.
Catches the common WCAG 2.2 issues - missing alt text, video captions, keyboard traps, and basic contrast - so you can fix them before publish.
Run a public catalogue on your own domain or keep courses behind invitations - same Stripe checkout, same payout. LearnBuilder takes nothing on top of Stripe's processing fee.
Translation preserves course layout and block structure. Review, tweak, and publish - you have full control over each language version without losing connection.
The authoring fundamentals are well-covered across the category. Where we stand apart: AI that lives inside the course player, block-level collaboration, and a compliance posture you can actually configure.
