The Platform
How is Elucidat different to other authoring tools?
We’re truly people-centered. Unlike other tools which focus on the author only, we care about the learning experience for your learners, so we pride ourselves on a platform with quality baked-in to help you achieve people-centered learning. We care so much about the impact we have, that we even have a live learner counter on our office wall!
Beyond the ability to create high-quality, engaging elearning content easily, with Elucidat you get measurable outcomes: smarter workflows to scale up content production more efficiently, a collaborative approach to authoring with a platform designed for large teams, actively involved in the product development and unparalleled support and coaching from a team whose sole focus is client success.
Is Elucidat easy to use?
As with any technology, there is a learning period while you get familiar with the tools. We cater to a wide variety of skill sets. Elucidat is a truly collaborative platform. With our unique granular user permissions, you can have complete control over the functionality your users can access, allowing you to cater to all skill sets. We also offer a range of services to help you get up to even more quickly and achieve your goals.
Why use a cloud-based authoring platform?
Cloud-based authoring allows teams to create content and review collaboratively online, always working on the latest version. You can manage and launch updates and multiple variations of content far quicker than with desktop tools. And, of course, you will always have the latest software updates and features with Elucidat.
How does Elucidat facilitate collaboration?
Elucidat allows users to work together, simultaneously, on content. You can invite reviewers and SMEs to add comments directly to content within the platform, speeding up the production and review process. Elucidat is perfect for larger teams, so our top plans come with high allowances of users to allow for collaboration at scale. We do not provide a per seat model like other authoring tools, we provide an allowance of seats so teams can work together.
Is Elucidat a Learning Management System (LMS)?
Elucidat is not an LMS. However, customers have used the combination of Elucidat’s URL release and our xAPI-driven analytics to eliminate the need for an LMS. To find out more, speak to us.
Does Elucidat integrate with my LMS?
Elucidat is fully SCORM-compliant, so we can integrate easily with most LMS to better support the world’s leading companies. Check our list of integrations and partnerships.
Is Elucidat’s authoring tool SCORM compliant?
Yes, courses created in Elucidat are fully SCORM-compliant. Our SCORM for LMS release mode also allows you to use our re-release feature, which means you can push updates straight into your LMS rather than uploading a new SCORM file. Elucidat supports both SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004.
Is Elucidat xAPI compliant?
Yes, Elucidat is xAPI (Tin Can) compliant. This feature allows you to send data to your LRS from Elucidat.
Getting started with Elucidat
How much does Elucidat cost?
Elucidat’s product plans are based on how many users and elearning projects you have. As you grow, plans include features that will help you produce and manage elearning at scale. Elucidat is perfect for large organizations and large teams and our product plans are designed to allow for production at scale.
What constitutes a learner?
We count a learner as an identified individual. A learner may be identified by either your LMS or a different method.
So, a learner may return to Elucidat and take many courses over a certain period on many devices, but they’ll only count as one learner.
What coaching and support does Elucidat offer?
Our support team is on hand to answer questions. We have extremely high rates of customer satisfaction – 98% of users rate themselves ‘satisfied’ or ‘very satisfied’ with our responses.
You can also find step-by-step guides and videos in our Help Center.
Whether you’re a total beginner or a seasoned learning designer, you can access coaching and design services to take your learning to the next level. Find out more about our Learning Consultancy services.
And if you have any special support needs, just get in touch.
Can the Elucidat team create content for me?
No – but we do have extensive services to help your team create people-centered elearning. They extend from helping you design prototypes based on your needs to supporting you with learner-ready reviews.
So while we have coaching and design services, we are not a content creation agency.
We can, however, recommend some brilliant agencies and freelancers who are experienced with working in Elucidat.
We care for your success
