What Lectora is

Lectora is an authoring tool for creating interactive learning courses. Authors can build lessons with templates, themes, page layouts, navigation, quizzes and knowledge checks, or import PowerPoint training for editing and publishing. Lectora Online’s AI Course Wizard creates a preliminary course version in three steps. Variables and conditions can shape learning paths around click behavior, and BranchTrack integration supports branching scenarios. Teams can co-author, assign roles, keep revision logs and version history, and share projects and assets. Accessibility options include predictable focus, lightbox pop-ups, form controls, and settings for layering and tab order. Courses can be exported in seven listed languages, with translation files exchanged through XLIFF. Publishing formats include SCORM, xAPI, HTML5, AICC and cmi5, with direct publishing to platforms including Rockstar Learning Platform, Docebo and SCORM Cloud. Authors can also use custom scripts, libraries, fonts, CSS, HTML and JavaScript. Existing users can continue authoring with a Free Lectora Online account. The Studio Gold Suite is listed at $1,549 a year.
