Is Elucidat easy to use?

We are rated 5* for ease of use on Capterra. As with any technology, there is a learning period while you get familiar with the tools. We cater for a wide variety of skills sets. Elucidat is a truly collaborative platform and with our unique granular user permissions, you can have complete control over the functionality your users have access to, giving you the ability to cater to all skillsets. 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, we do have clients who 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.

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.

Does Elucidat support translation into multiple languages, including right to left?

Can I author in other languages?

What are Elucidat’s authoring accessibility standards?

We believe that learning should be accessible to the widest possible audience – it’s one of our people-centered pillars. Although a lot of accessibility comes down to the authoring choices made, we are committed to making it as easy as possible for our users to achieve accessible elearning.

Elucidat supports Section 508 in the US and the Equality Act in the UK. Released courses can be used with JAWS screen reader, Window Eyes and OS X Voiceover.

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 via live-chat and email 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 support center.

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. Learn more here.

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.
