Easily create impactful training with an innovative authoring tool

Training managers, instructional designers, and trainers are constantly evolving. They strive to stay ahead of the curve, develop new skills, and adapt to ever-changing expectations. One of their biggest challenges? Designing blended or fully digital training programs that are effective, engaging, and tailored to business experts—without losing too much time in the process. 

This is no small task, especially when the tools at hand are outdated or too complex. Many traditional LCMS platforms are strong on LMS features but weaker on pedagogical performance and learner experience. That’s where an innovative authoring tool like Teach Up makes all the difference—turning complexity into simplicity, routine into engagement, and helping L&D teams and subject-matter experts create highly impactful content.

As a large organization, mid-sized company, or training provider, you likely already rely on LMS or LCMS platforms to create and deliver your courses. At first glance, investing in an innovative authoring tool may not seem essential. Yet if your goal is to optimize the efficiency of your instructional teams, diversify your learning content, re-engage learners in their online courses, offer your employees truly innovative training experiences, and unlock the full potential of your existing tools, then now is the moment to integrate a powerful complementary authoring tool and take your approach to the next level.

What is an authoring tool? 

An e-learning authoring tool allows trainers, instructional designers, and even business experts to create digital learning content, using text, images, video, quizzes, surveys, and more. 

With a user-friendly interface (often drag-and-drop), authors can build courses, modules, evaluations, or even blended learning journeys. More advanced platforms like Teach Up go further, offering collaborative creation and adaptive pathways. 

Content can then be exporte, most often in SCORM, for seamless delivery within your LMS. 

7 reasons to invest in an innovative authoring tool

1. Break learners out of routine 

Generic “catalog” courses no longer engage employees. Today’s learners expect personalized, high-quality, and relevant training experiences that fit their operational needs.

 2. Personalize learning with AI 

Adaptive learning transforms the training journey by tailoring content in real time to each learner’s knowledge, pace, and goals. This results in higher engagement, better retention, and measurable mastery of skills.

3. Re-energize your authors 

A modern, intuitive authoring interface motivates both L&D professionals and subject-matter experts to create. Advanced options give flexibility to experienced designers while keeping the process simple for non-specialists.

4. Save time with faster creation 

With Teach Up, module creation is 10 times faster than with traditional tools like Storyline, thanks to built-in AI and automation.

5. Update content without re-importing SCORM 

Forget time-consuming updates. With Teach Up, edits made by the author appear instantly online, without needing to repackage and re-upload SCORM files. 

6. Ensure learner mastery 

Adaptive pathways ensure that every learner reaches 100% mastery, without relying on summative exams. Trainers can then focus on community engagement and coaching rather than repetitive content delivery. 

7. Reduce wasted screen time 

Adaptive learning optimizes training duration: studies show a 36% reduction in screen time on mandatory training programs, with equal or better outcomes. Some experts save up to 70% of their time.
