What is SmartBuilder?
An authoring tool for creating scenarios, games, mobile and other serious elearning, faster.
Key differentiators include:
1. Create logic by selecting objects directly on the page: SmartBuilder allows you to create action logic by selecting objects directly on the page, rather than by drilling down through popups and menus.
2. Actions with multiple responses: Most authoring tools only allow single trigger, condition and response combinations. SmartBuilder allows you to combine multiple triggers, conditions and responses in a single action.
3. For beginners - wizard based templates: SmartBuilder allows advanced authors to create new wizard-based templates by using the SmartBuilder tool itself. This results in a growing library of wizard-based templates which allow beginner authors to create content using form fields rather than having to learn the intricacies of the tool.
4. For experts - advanced logic: Advanced logical structures such as lists, conditions, loops, text manipulation and motion enable expert users to quickly create content that would normally require JavaScript.
5. Responsive, interactive output: Most responsive authoring tools rely on a rigid template-based approach, which limits custom interactivity. Using SmartBuilder, you don't need to sacrifice interactivity for mobile-friendly delivery.

Overview of SmartBuilder benefits
Our primary is on enabling you to create elearning that drives performance improvement. Our secondary focus is making the process of creating meaningful interactivity faster and easier. Competitors typically prioritize speed and ease over meaningful interactivity.
Using SmartBuilder, you won’t hit a ceiling when you want to go beyond traditional ‘tell-and-test’ content.
SmartBuilder’s breakthrough innovation is a system of objects and action blocks, which provide two key benefits:
- The system provides greater power for creating meaningful and memorable elearning than other technologies.
- Feedback from comparison tests and from users indicates that the authoring process is also significantly faster.
If you believe that meaningful interactivity is an essential component of effective elearning, check out SmartBuilder.Â

What do you like best?
To find SmartBuilder, I searched a lot, but knew it instantly by looking at the sample lessons! Then I was supported from the moment the free trial started, with instant replies. The software also provides understandable fundamental instructions, within itself, No need to waste your time searching for instructions on YouTube. There are free live instruction sessions, as well. My overall experience has been very promising! I intend to build a lot of lessons!
What do you dislike?
This will not be a drawback to many, but the price might be a little high, if you come from low-income back country/ background.
I’ve used many authoring tools. SmartBuilder is by far the best.

What do you like best?
I love the way SmartBuilder creates actions using drag and drop blocks that snap together. It’s different from other tools – much faster and easier, especially when I want to create more custom elearning. With other tools I spent hours pulling my hair out trying to create learning exercises that I now do in a fraction of the time. I can’t say enough about their support. I can contact them on chat, and they are always willing to look at my projects if I can’t figure out something on my own.
What do you dislike?
I can’t say this is a real negative, but with so much flexibility, it was sometimes hard to know where to start. However, the recent addition of full course templates provides ideas for layouts and interactivity, which would have been helpful when I was learning the software.
