Last Updated: March 2026
A course authoring tool enables instructional designers and subject matter experts to create eLearning content without coding. These tools produce courses that can be uploaded to an LMS for delivery and tracking. Standalone tools like Articulate Storyline and Adobe Captivate create SCORM packages, while built-in authoring tools (like Arythmatic's course builder) let you create and deliver courses in the same platform. Built-in tools eliminate the export/import workflow and simplify content management.
