Introduction
Many people want to share knowledge digitally—but have no experience with e-learning technology. This is exactly where Lessonator comes in: an editor that enables didactically meaningful SCORM courses—without programming, without training, without frustration. In this article, we’ll show you step by step how to create your first course as a beginner.
Why SCORM – and why Lessonator?
SCORM is the established standard for digital learning content because it offers compatibility with almost all learning platforms. Lessonator, on the other hand, takes care of the technical side for you and guides you intuitively through the process.
Teaching should not be IT training.
