The problem

Producing SCORM content normally means a separate authoring tool, exporting a package, and uploading it — a slow round-trip that lives outside your course and is awkward to update.

The solution

Edzrise Builder lets you author a rich, interactive lesson in a modern drag-and-drop editor and publish it as a standard SCORM activity in the same course. You build in a full-screen visual editor and learners launch the result like any SCORM package, with completion and score tracked normally — no separate app or login.

Part of your LMS

Edzrise Builder runs inside your Moodle LMS. You open it from a course (More → Create SCORM), build your lesson, and publish — and the result is a real, native SCORM activity in that course.

Key features

Drag-and-drop editor

Drag, drop, reorder, and nest blocks on a full-screen canvas — including moving blocks between lessons — with continuous, versioned autosave.

Flexible starting points

Begin from a blank canvas, import a .docx / .pptx / .pdf, reuse an EDZ Rise lesson, or seed an outline with the AI Course Builder.

Design without touching content

Most blocks offer Rise-style design variants from a thumbnail picker, plus build-wide branding and a cover page — switching a variant never changes your content.

Publish to SCORM

One click creates a self-contained SCORM activity in your course; re-publishing updates the same activity in place, preserving tracking where the standard allows.

Guide

How to use

Authors and teachers

1. Open the course, then More → Create SCORM to launch the full-screen builder scoped to that course. See Getting started.
2. Choose a starting point, then build in the editor using blocks from the block reference; set the cover, branding, and media. Use the AI text assist on any text field.
3. Preview to see exactly what the learner gets, then publish to SCORM; re-publish later to update the same activity.

Learners

A published lesson is a normal SCORM activity — take the course from a cover overview, a paged reader with a table-of-contents sidebar and search, and interactive checks, with completion and score reported back to the LMS.

Administrators

Configure AI providers, the SCORM version, and who can author and publish in Settings & permissions.

Features

Editor and structure

A build is a sequence of lessons grouped into sections; each lesson is a stack of blocks. Blocks can be reordered, duplicated, deleted, moved to another lesson, and nested where supported. A media library manages reusable images, audio, and video (bundled into the package so the SCORM works offline), and work autosaves continuously and versioned.

Design and branding

Most blocks offer several presentational variants chosen from a thumbnail grid — Accordion, Tabs, Gallery, List, Callout, Flashcards, Image + Text, and Cover page all have variant sets. Build-wide branding controls colours, font, and text spacing, and a cover editor sets the title, subtitle, description, hero image, and layout style. The same look renders in the editor, the preview, and the published player.

AI text assist

On any text field the ✦ control can rewrite, shorten, expand, fix tone, make bullets, or suggest a heading — with accept, regenerate, or discard, so AI never silently overwrites content. Providers (OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini) are enabled by an administrator; if none is set, a built-in offline transform keeps the control working. Block/section and image generation are designed but not yet active.

Publishing

Publishing builds a conformant, self-contained SCORM package and creates a mod_scorm activity. Re-publishing updates the same activity in place — but because each activity bakes in its own player, a player fix needs a re-publish. Current window is the recommended display setting for the full-screen reader.

FAQ

Where do published lessons end up?

As a standard SCORM (mod_scorm) activity in the same course. Learners launch it like any SCORM package, and completion and score are tracked normally.

Can I open the builder from the site front page?

No — open it from inside a real course. Publishing needs a valid course context, so starting from the front page will fail at publish time.

Does editing a build re-create a new activity?

No. Re-publishing updates the same activity in place (versioned), preserving learner tracking where the SCORM standard allows.

Why isn't a player fix showing in an existing lesson?

Each published activity contains its own copy of the player, generated at publish time. Re-publish the build to pick up a player fix. Theme and styling fixes apply at render time and don’t need a re-publish.

Do I need an AI key to use it?

No. AI text assist is optional — without a provider key the ✦ control uses a built-in offline transform. Authoring and publishing work without any AI.
