By now, you’ve learned how to create dynamic, mobile-friendly, and engaging courses that resonate with learners.
Now, let’s learn more details about 3 more standout features of SmartTutor 360 that help you streamline course design and enhance learning outcomes: Symbols Library, LMS Compatibility, and Question Bank & Randomization. These tools will help you save time, maintain consistency, and create more engaging assessments while ensuring your courses are seamlessly integrated with learning management systems.
Symbols Library: Efficient Reuse of Custom Objects
Creating e-learning content often requires the use of custom objects, whether they’re buttons, icons, or unique design elements that align with your course’s branding. However, creating these elements repeatedly can be time-consuming, especially when you’re working on large-scale projects with multiple lessons.
With SmartTutor 360 e-learning software’s Symbols Library, you can create and store reusable custom objects that you’ve designed for your courses. This feature helps you maintain consistency across your content while significantly reducing the time spent on repetitive tasks.
Key benefits of the Symbols Library feature include:
- Reusability: Once you create an object, you can save it to the library and reuse it across various lessons or courses, which eliminates the need to recreate the same elements multiple times.
- Consistency: By using the same symbols across all your lessons, you ensure a consistent visual style that strengthens your course’s identity and improves the learner’s overall experience.
- Faster Course Creation: With quick access to your pre-designed objects, you can focus more on content creation rather than on design work, improving your workflow and efficiency.
This feature is particularly valuable for instructional designers or corporate trainers who need to produce multiple courses or who are working on projects that require a consistent look and feel. The Symbols Library allows for faster content creation without sacrificing quality or consistency.
Extensive LMS Compatibility: Seamless Integration with Leading Learning Management Systems
Learning Management Systems (LMS) are essential tools for organizations, educational institutions, and corporate training programs. They serve as a centralized platform for delivering, tracking, and managing e-learning content. However, ensuring that your courses are compatible with different LMS platforms can be a challenge, especially when using various authoring tools.
SmartTutor 360 e-learning software makes it easy to integrate your courses with leading LMS platforms by supporting industry-standard formats like SCORM and xAPI. This ensures that your e-learning content is compatible with popular LMS platforms, such as Moodle, Blackboard, and Canvas, as well as corporate LMS systems used for employee training.
Key benefits of LMS Compatibility include:
- SCORM and xAPI Support: Whether your LMS supports SCORM (Sharable Content Object Reference Model) or xAPI (Experience API), SmartTutor 360 ensures that your courses will work seamlessly with these formats, making it easy to track learner progress, completion, and assessment results.
- Easy Content Delivery: Once your course is ready, you can easily export it in a format compatible with your chosen LMS, streamlining the process of content delivery and tracking.
- Efficient Reporting: By integrating with your LMS, SmartTutor 360 e-learning software allows you to track learners’ interactions and performance, providing detailed reports and analytics to help you assess the effectiveness of your training programs.
For educational institutions, corporate trainers, and organizations that need to scale their e-learning programs, SmartTutor 360’s LMS compatibility is an essential feature that ensures seamless integration, simplified content management, and streamlined learner tracking.
Question Bank & Randomization: Creating Engaging Quizzes and Assessments
Assessment is a key component of any learning program. Whether you’re testing knowledge retention, evaluating learner progress, or gathering feedback, having the right tools to create professional, engaging quizzes is essential.
With SmartTutor 360 e-learning software’s Question Bank & Randomization feature, you can design quizzes that are both challenging and unpredictable, ensuring that learners remain engaged and focused. The feature also helps prevent learners from memorizing answers or predicting quiz content, which is especially valuable for certification programs or large-scale training initiatives.
Key benefits of Question Bank & Randomization include:
- Extensive Question Templates: With 13 question templates, you can create a wide range of quiz types, including multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, and matching questions, to assess learners’ understanding in various ways.
- Randomization of Questions and Slides: To enhance the integrity of your assessments, you can randomize the order of questions and slides. This ensures that each learner receives a unique set of questions, preventing them from memorizing answers or sharing quiz content with others.
- Customizable Scoring: SmartTutor 360 e-learning software allows you to adjust scoring for different questions and even assign weights to certain types of questions. This flexibility ensures that your quizzes accurately reflect the learning objectives of the course.
Whether you’re creating a knowledge check, a practice exam, or a final certification test, the Question Bank & Randomization feature ensures that your assessments are engaging, secure, and effective in measuring learners’ progress.
