Lectora Publisher

Lectora Publisher: easy to use, easy to create, easy to publish. Well, why should e-learning have to be hard?

Developing e-learning needn't be complex to be powerful - and, with Lectora Publisher, it isn't. While Lectora Publisher is a hugely powerful e-learning authoring tool, it doesn't need years of e-learning experience to get the most from it.

With Lectora Publisher, you build e-learning courses using easy-to-master drag-and-drop techniques - no programming is required. It can easily incorporate pretty much any form of media (text, animation, video and sound) into one seamless e-learning course. In fact, it has the tools built in to do this - you don't need to buy and learn lots of different specialist applications. It now even features HTML5 media support for mobile devices - see below for more new features.

Lectora Publisher might be suitable for e-learning newbies, but as you become more experienced, you won't outgrow it - because Lectora Publisher is so fully featured that you're unlikely to need another e-learning tool (well, unless you step up to Lectora Publisher's big brother, the Lectora Pro Suite).
