It is a fabulous simulation development tool for creating simulations of actual applications.

What do you like best?
How easy it is to do what I want it to do. I teach my informatics students how to develop interactive training modules on Electronic Health Records. They take off running with it.
What do you dislike?
Initially there was no Mac version and many of my students use Macs. However they can now use the Online version.
It can be 508 compliant quite easily which is a plus.

What do you like best?
I like the book structure and the use of variables. Variables are really powerful but they are a bit complicated to learn.
What do you dislike?
I wish there were more videos walking through projects and how to use features. Most videos are very surface level or really old and not useful anymore.
Lectora is very user friendly and fits my company's needs.

What do you like best?
I have been a Lectora users for over 13 years and I love it! Lectora Inspire allows me to build online courses that are engaging and enjoyable. It is super easy to build training that doesn’t look like all other training course out there. It allows me to be creative and to make courses that are interactive. Lectora Inspire variables have never been so easy to use and work with. Inspire comes with access to so many templates and images. The TechSmith tools (SnagIt and Camtasia) are great!
What do you dislike?
N/A I have no complaints and I find Lectora to be a great tool to use to create training. The TechSmith tools are great!
Easy to use and with all of the tools available, it will be all we need.

What do you like best?
The book structure and ability to import outside media. I also like the ability to insert tests and surveys and the publishing options.
What do you dislike?
I do not understand the variables and find it confusing. I wish that there was a class or tutorial on what we would use them for and how to use them, scenario based learning.
Awesome robust course authoring tool with lots of great features
Jun 17, 2020
What do you like best?
I like how detailed you can get into the program. While other companies focus on getting the developer in and out as quickly as possible, Lectora gives Instructional Designers the power to make learning engaging and interesting.
What do you dislike?
Because of its robustness there is a bit of a learning curve. Nothing super long. But you'll want to read, watch, and practice a lot in the first couple of weeks of working.
It's such a flexible tool to make creative learning solutions!

What do you like best?
I love that I can be creative in how I use the different features. It isn't a cookie cutter program. While, there are templates and features that make it super easy for non-technical people to make eLearning easily, I love that it can be used by those more proficient in using variables and javascript, etc. I have made many high-powered and super-interactive eLearning projects using Lectora Online. I was happy I wasn't stuck with Storyline.
What do you dislike?
New features can be a little quirky with different browsers. Sometimes the preview feature can be finicky too. Syncing audio is getting better - but it has been cumbersome in the past.
Good tool for Responsive elearning course development
Aug 9, 2019
What do you like best?
Lectora is great if you need to build complex courses, it gives you a lot of freedom. Adding Javascript is quite easy too. Responsive output is very good and very little bugs overall.
What do you dislike?
It has a bit of learning curve in the beginning, but once you are past it, it is amazing tool.
A powerful, professional tool for eLearning professionals
Jun 14, 2019
What do you like best?
The interactions most eLearning authoring tools provide never work quite how I want. But Lectora variables enabled me to build interactions that worked exactly how I envisioned. I've heard it said, "If you can think it, you can build it in Lectora!" I was skeptical of this at first, but over the years, found it to be true. Like Photoshop, Lectora takes time to master, but it enabled me to build immersive interactions and learning experiences, and THAT's an eLearning professional's job, right?
What do you dislike?
Specific things take a little time. For example, making a Bullet list that animates line by line requires a separate text box for each line. In this situation, I would build the course in PowerPoint and then import into Lectora.
