This ensures that learners around the world can access and benefit from your content.

Step 4: Add Interactivity

Interactivity is one of the most essential elements of creating any eLearning project. It not only boosts engagement and motivation but also encourages learners to actively absorb and retain knowledge for long-term application.

One of ActivePresenter’s strongest features is its ability to create interactive content. The software offers a variety of interactive tools. These allow you to build engaging lessons, courses, quizzes, branching scenarios, and educational games.

Step 5: Preview Your Lesson

Before publishing or sharing your lesson with students, colleagues, or a wider audience, make sure to preview it first. This helps ensure that the content, format, and all interactions run smoothly.

You can choose to preview the entire project or individual slides using the HTML5 Preview feature available in the Home or Export tab.

Step 6: Export and Share

Once your project is complete, you can export your eLearning course into various formats suitable for different platforms and learning purposes. In the Export tab, you can:

• Export to images or documents (Microsoft Word, Excel, PDF, PowerPoint): This is ideal for creating static learning materials for offline use.
• Export to video: Convert your course into a video format that can be uploaded to YouTube or other platforms.
• Export to HTML5, SCORM, or xAPI: This is the perfect option if you want your course to run in web browsers or be uploaded to Learning Management Systems (LMS). Packaging your course as SCORM/xAPI ensures compatibility with most modern LMSs.

• Publish directly to LMS/uPresenter: ActivePresenter 10 allows you to publish your course directly to uPresenter – a platform designed for building and delivering eLearning content. With uPresenter, instructors can create courses, manage classes, and track learner progress and results with ease.
