Capabilities

Build beyond the slide.

Smart Studio supports the complete instructional system: structured content, practice and testing, remediation, branching, media, simulations, reporting, packaging, and delivery.

Smart Studio content, media, analytics, AI, and multi-device capabilities

Structured authoring

Make the instructional design visible.

Scribe represents lessons as meaningful structures rather than a sequence of disconnected screens.

01

Lesson architecture

Organize objectives, containers, Storyboards, sequencing, and remediation in a navigable lesson map.

02

Purpose-built Storyboards

Use reusable screen types for layouts, media, menus, questions, branching, and project-specific content.

03

Visual canvas

Arrange visual content while preserving the structured data that drives Courseware Engine behavior.

04

Live preview

Review the learner-facing viewer without leaving the authoring environment.

05

Templates

Start from reusable lesson structures and project standards instead of rebuilding common patterns.

06

Recovery tools

Autosave, undo and redo, deleted-Storyboard recovery, and recoverable logs help protect production work.

Intelligence in context

AI inside the authoring process.

Smart Assistant works with the lesson rather than beside it. Use it to research a subject, generate and revise instructional content, create supporting images, and develop structured lesson material that remains editable in Scribe.

Because the system can work from project context and defined templates, AI output can follow the same content model used by human authors instead of becoming isolated prose.

  • ResearchExplore subject matter and gather source-supported background.
  • Draft and reviseCreate, transform, and refine content within the active lesson.
  • Supporting mediaGenerate imagery that can be incorporated into the course.
  • Structured generationUse lesson templates and guidelines to produce content that fits the project model.

Practice and assessment

Feedback is part of the design.

Support different testing and remediation strategies within the same project.

  • Question patternsBuild standard and custom question types, including selection, ordering, categorization, hotspot, and drag-and-drop interactions.
  • RemediationConnect feedback and remediation to the learner's action, objective, or instructional path.
  • BranchingUse results and conditions to control the path through lesson content.
  • ScoringLet the Courseware Engine evaluate responses, maintain state, and communicate outcomes to the LMS.

Simulation-based learning

Author procedures, actions, and consequences.

Smart Studio provides a framework for integrating simulation-based training with the instructional lesson. Authors can define procedures, expected actions, testing behavior, remediation, and feedback while the Courseware Engine manages the simulation interface.

Procedure logic

Represent ordered tasks, acceptable actions, errors, and recovery paths.

External integration

Connect courseware with browser-based or external simulation environments.

Project control

Extend the Courseware Engine and authoring model for specialized equipment or workflows.

Report Generator

Create the lesson once. Use its data everywhere.

Turn the structured content already in Scribe into the documents your work requires—from review and quality-assurance reports to instructor guides, lesson plans, and project-specific deliverables.

Titles, text, Storyboard properties, graphics, media references, and other project information already exist as lesson data. Report Generator reads that source directly, so authors do not have to copy the same information into a separate document and maintain it in two places.

Generate a report for the complete lesson or the active Storyboard as a formatted Word document. When the lesson changes, generate it again to produce a document based on the current source.

Useful from the start

Included Lesson Text, Lesson Graphics, and Missing Media reports support content review, media planning, and quality checks.

Designed for your work

Customize the included report definitions or create your own with the lesson data, layout, headers, footers, and formatting the project requires.

Ready to work with

Open the generated Word document to review, annotate, edit, print, share, or incorporate it into the rest of the production process.

The lesson remains the source of truth. Reports can be regenerated as the courseware evolves instead of being manually rebuilt after every change.

Impression Connect

Bring specialized tools into Scribe.

Connect extensions adapt the authoring environment to the way a program actually works.

Build web or desktop applications that launch directly from Scribe and remain connected to the active project, lesson, and Storyboard. Extensions can work with Smart Studio's open XML content model, respond as authors navigate, and exchange updates with the lesson in progress.

Custom authoring

Add project-specific lesson or Storyboard editors and focused tools for specialized content.

Production workflow

Integrate media requests, discrepancy tracking, validation, lookup, and other production applications.

Reporting and integration

Create custom reports or connect Scribe with the systems and data sources a program depends on.

Administrators manage each project's extensions in Scribe, including when they are available and whether they are restricted to administrators.

Production and delivery

Carry the same source through the finish line.

Review

Report Generator

Reuse current lesson data in repeatable review, production, and quality-assurance documents.

Prepare

Packager

Package individual lessons or multi-lesson deliverables for target environments.

Deliver

SCORM and xAPI

Prepare SCORM metadata and manifests or report learning activity through xAPI using the Courseware Engine.
