Create company-tailored training at scale

An e-learning authoring tool is software you use to create digital training content such as courses, quizzes, interactions, and assessments, which you then publish to a learning platform for delivery. An authoring tool is where the content gets built, while a Learning Management System (LMS) hosts and tracks it. Modern authoring tools like Easygenerator let non-specialists produce professional training without coding or design skills.

Employee-generated Learning (EGL) is an approach where an organization's own subject-matter experts create training content directly, instead of routing everything through a central L&D or instructional design team. The idea is simple. Nobody understands the work better than the people who do it, so giving them the tools to share knowledge produces more relevant training, faster. Easygenerator supports this model by giving non-experts an intuitive authoring tool and AI guidance to turn what they know into structured courses.

Yes. You can import existing PowerPoint, PDF, and Word files into Easygenerator, and EasyAI can turn them into a structured first draft in minutes. With EasyVideo, you can also convert a PowerPoint deck into a ready-to-publish training video. This makes it easy to reuse knowledge your teams have already documented rather than starting over.

Yes. Easygenerator's built-in AI, EasyAI, guides subject-matter experts to create structured courses. It turns existing documents or decks into a first draft, suggests sound didactic structure, and helps experts polish content faster. EasyAI is built for people who are not learning designers, and it comes with every plan at no extra cost.

Yes. You can export your courses as SCORM or xAPI files that work in virtually any LMS or LXP. Easygenerator also offers dynamic SCORM, so you can update a published course without re-exporting and re-uploading the SCORM file. For multilingual content, one SCORM file can hold all language versions, which keeps distribution across regions simple.

The best e-learning authoring tool depends on who will create the content and what you need to produce. Specialist tools like Articulate 360 give you deep customization options but may be a bit more difficult to use, while tools like Easygenerator focus on ease of use so any employee can create training without prior experience. If your goal is to scale content creation with the help of your internal experts, an easy-to-use platform with built-in AI, localization, and LMS publishing tends to be the better fit. If you need precise creative control for a small number of courses, a specialist tool may suit you better.

The cost to create an online course depends on whether you build it in-house or outsource it. Agency-produced custom e-learning can cost thousands of dollars per finished hour, while authoring tools let you produce courses for a predictable software subscription instead. Time is usually the higher cost. Traditional course development can take weeks per course, but Easygenerator customers create courses up to 9x faster by letting subject-matter experts create courses directly, and keeping content in-house removes recurring outsourcing and translation costs.

Microlearning is a way to deliver training in short units, usually a few minutes each, that target one skill or piece of knowledge at a time. It works best for just-in-time learning, knowledge reinforcement, onboarding, and compliance refreshers, where learners need answers in the flow of work rather than a long course. Authoring tools like Easygenerator make microlearning practical because subject-matter experts can quickly create and update small modules as needs change.

An authoring tool is where you create training content, and an LMS (Learning Management System) is where you host, deliver, and track it. The two work together. You build a course in an authoring tool like Easygenerator, then publish it through SCORM or xAPI to an LMS that handles enrollment, completion tracking, and reporting. Some organizations use Easygenerator alongside their existing LMS to create e-learning courses.
