cBook Creator

The expert authoring tool that lets you keep building even when other tools stop.

The authoring tool for experts

For maximum design freedom

The cBook Creator is an authoring tool for interactive digital learning content — known as cBooks. You build layout, interaction, and didactics via drag & drop, without a single line of code.

And if you want to go beyond the tool: in Expert Mode, you write your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript and add your own page types via the extension system. Other authoring tools end where your concept begins.

The result: eLearning that looks like your concept — not like your authoring tool’s template.

That makes the difference

The most important features at a glance

Accessibility

Your content complies with WCAG 2.2 AA – including subtitles, media descriptions, and picture-in-picture video for sign language.

22 languages & translation

Translate an entire cBook with one click – or export it via XML to external translators. 22 languages.

AI assistants

From ideation to text and image through to subtitles and translation. GDPR-compliant, on EU servers, and with your own system prompts.

Page Builder & Expert Mode

You place text, images, and interactions using drag & drop. If you need more, write your own HTML, CSS, and JavaScript – or add your own page types.

Review & Approval

Interactive formats

Hotspots, drag-&-drop interactions, quizzes, and community formats – directly in the cBook, without any additional tool.

Templates & Reuse

Save layouts as templates and mark slides as copy templates across the organization. Assets are stored centrally once, not scattered ten times.

Standard export

Export to SCORM 1.2 or as standalone HTML: runs in any compliant LMS – or entirely without one.

How does the AI support you – and is it GDPR-compliant?

The AI assistants help you with ideation, content creation, image generation and editing, subtitles, and translation. The AI is GDPR-compliant, runs exclusively on servers within the EU, and does not use your content to train the models.
