Developer kits

For teams building their own engine.

Most Impression customers never need a developer kit. Impression Scribe and the standard Courseware Engine handle authoring, customization, and publishing on their own. These source kits are for advanced development: building a custom Courseware Engine, or integrating Unity simulations at the source level.

Do you need one?

Probably not, and that is by design.

Everything below works with Impression Scribe and the standard Courseware Engine, with no developer kit:

Author, preview, and publish lessons as SCORM 2004 or xAPI packages.
Brand the learner experience with Canvas settings and your own style sheet.
Adjust navigation, tracking, and lesson processing through the engine’s customization hooks.
Edit viewer layouts and create your own Storyboard templates.
Embed interactive HTML, Adobe Animate, and Unity WebGL content in Storyboards.
Build tools that work alongside Scribe with the free Impression Connect SDK.

Consider a developer kit when you need to change how the engine itself works, beyond what its hooks allow; when your organization maintains its own engine for a program; or when your simulations must exchange lesson data and state with the engine at the source level. Each kit assumes experienced JavaScript or C#/Unity developers.
