Create courses
without leaving Hotline LMS.

Not everyone has Articulate or Captivate. The built-in course builder lets you author complete courses (lessons, quizzes, and assessments) directly inside the platform. No external tools, no export/import cycle.

Two ways to build courses.

upload_file

Upload existing content

Already have SCORM packages from Storyline, Captivate, or iSpring? Upload the ZIP and Hotline LMS handles the rest. Full SCORM 1.2 and 2004 runtime compliance.
