It enables users to collaborate with team members and automatically track revised content using versioning capabilities. Lectora Online allows businesses to import/export question banks on the platform and embed quizzes or media files into formative assessments. Managers can access various digital assets including photos, videos, templates, and sound effects from the in-built media library. Additionally, it comes with an administrative dashboard, which lets users assign projects to reviewers and send request notifications to team members, streamlining approval processes. With Lectora’s authoring tool, you can jump-start course creation by converting your files from PowerPoint, using the AI Course Wizard to instantly generate courses for you, or by integrating templates or assets. All courses are easily customizable, with accessibility functions, meeting the Section 508 \& WCAG 2.2 requirements, and a responsive design, to ensure an optimal learning experience for everyone. Lectora allows organizations to use SCORM, xAPI, HTML5, AICC, and cmi5 to publish content across multiple external platforms, such as CourseMill, Healthstream, Docebo, and SABA. With Lectora, you can also collaborate or integrate VR, games, screen recordings, and other assets.

Lectora makes meeting DHS Trusted Tester requirements easy\! I also love that you can truly develop responsive courses rather than just a player being responsive and shrinking things down as that isn't accesssible. > > **Cons**: The QuickLaunch Toolbar on the new interface can be a bit difficult to see what is what as it is very dark and blends in. ----- ### "Power to Unleash Your Potential" — 5.0/5 > **Domenic** | *10 November 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The interface is super easy to use and provides quick access to advanced features. I usually work from a blank page or corporate template where I have complete control of design and programming. Adding actions to objects is very helpful. The properties ribbon gives me quick access to all the information I need. There is often many ways to do something and I can easily experiment to find the best method. Adding exams, surveys, knowledge checks, progress bars, custom menus, variables, HTML windows, and JavaScript, are all easy to do. If you want to create adaptive courses to personalize learning, Lectora is by far the easiest program to use. > > **Cons**: With power comes a few caveats. Occasionally a deleted action does not get deleted. The solution is to rebuild the action using a different name. Moving an object using xy coordinates is easy, but there is no easy way of detecting those coordinates. Having that feature would make designing games much easier. The recent addition of Elearning Brothers assets is great. I just wish the search feature worked better. After each search you have to start from the beginning. There is no way to select multiple objects or save searches. > > The Lectora support team and community is very helpful. ----- ### "If you're willing to be frustrated, Lectora is the right app for you." — 3.0/5 > **Cat** | *30 September 2025* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 1.0/10 > > **Pros**: Lectora can be robust with complex, nested interactivity and can tackle a large product. It is highly customizable and provides professional results. > > **Cons**: What I like least about Lectora is that it can sometimes be buggy, which interrupts workflow and slows projects down. The learning curve can also feel steep, especially with the more advanced features, making it a bit overwhelming at times. In addition, while the responsive design tools are helpful, it isn’t very easy to retrofit older, page-size–specific courses into a truly mobile-friendly format. This makes updating legacy content more challenging than expected. > > I used Lectora between Flash-era e-learning and mobile-first e-learning. I am thankful for the knowledge it provided about variables as I move forward into other programs. It's like the C++ of the coding world—wouldn't want to use it but thankful for its foundation. ----- ### "Lectora Review" — 5.0/5 > **Heidi** | *5 November 2020* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: This is the most powerful and flexible authoring software, although there is a learning curve. It is great for those that are responsible for developing eLearning. > > **Cons**: Support has not been as responsive as they used to be. However, now that ELB is in charge, I'm sure that will change for the better. When new updates are released, there can be problems when updating older courses because the new programming does not always match to previous programming. > > We have used Lectora for over 10 years and find it to be the most stable authoring software, and the most flexible if we need to add additional programming outside of what is available within Lectora. ----- ### "Lectora, a decent middling software package." — 4.0/5 > **Mark** | *5 March 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: It's robust feature set and ease of use. Costs. Integrated well with other products. > > **Cons**: Only about 3/4 of features of biggest players - Captivate and 360. > > Decent for what it is. Limited and you can tell there hasn't been a ton of development into it over the years. Probably best thing ELB has done when they purchased it. ----- Page: 1 / 4\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/432411/lectora-online?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.uk/software/432411/lectora-online) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
