Authoring tool
nectar LMS offers an authoring tool for creating courses (WBTs) with text, quizzes and videos within the LMS. Starting with nectar LMS version 5.0.0, the authoring tool is available upon request and can be licensed separately if you are interested. For more information, please contact us at nectar-support@fkc-online.com.
The courses can be downloaded as SCORM files and then made directly available to learners within the LMS. When creating a new course you can upload a SCORM file (1) or select one SCORM file, which was created with the authoring tool, directly from the LMS (2):
