## Overview

### Key benefits of mAuthor

The design concept of mAuthor is based on Modular Architecture. It provides highly interactive electronic content that can be built from parameterized blocks without any knowledge of software programming. Thanks to this approach users of different specialties may take an active role in the complex publishing processes.&#10;&#10;mAuthor is not just an authoring tool. It is a complete Development Platform to support and manage the ePublishing process. It allows the assignment of different tasks to different roles including: authors, instructional designers, editors, graphic designers, reviewers or testers. You can also create your own roles to customize the development environment to your specific needs.&#10;&#10;Thanks to Big Data functionality Educational publishers obtain the powerful tool that allows them to really assess the quality of their materials. By analyzing the interaction of thousands of students with a particular activity, they can see how difficult it is for the users and perform corrective actions to make it clearer and more effective. By regular analysis and improvement of all their eContent elements, publishers can perfect their new electronic “textbooks” and make them gradually more and more intelligent and reactive to students’ different behaviour.

## Reviews

### "Great product" — 5.0/5

> **Caroline** | *9 February 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I really like the variety of activity modules : we do not feel limited in our creativity. The support service is great, always quick to respond and very helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: Sometimes the ease of use is not there. The editor is a quite heavy product to handle, and not as smooth as i would like it to be. As a designer, I necessarily compare it to design software (like Figma or Sketch) since it uses the same principles of layers and artboards, and it's not that easy to use.
> 
> The product is not always easy to use at first sight, but with a little practice is really great to create a wide variety of activities for our students. I work with a publisher in France and we are very happy to works with mAuthor.

### "Accelerated our Development" — 5.0/5

> **Bruce** | *6 September 2019* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to use with a wide variety of templates and interaction types already built into the authoring tool.  We also appreciate that, for the most part, you can develop the content in mAuthor and it will render responsive content for multiple device configurations.
> 
> **Cons**: We don't have any significant complaints.  I think it would be interesting to make a 'free' version of mAuthor available for a teacher community which would allow educators to create and exchange 'Teacher Created Material' with each other.  This ad hoc community of developers could then grow the overall exposure of users to mAuthor, but also can be tapped by commercial publishers as new content developers.
> 
> We use mAuthor to develop online learning resources to complement our hands-on science kits products, and also to enhance our comprehensive K8 science curricula.  We have developers distributed throughout several locations that are use mAuthor and have formed a 'user group' to share best practices, ideas, and expertise.  To our company the greatest benefit of using mAuthor is that it allowed us to rapidly accelerate the development of digital learning content, using existing non-technical, science content experts.

### "mAuhtor a powerful tool to achieve great goals" — 4.0/5

> **titouan** | *24 November 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Basically the flexibility and the possibility offer by the product and the transparency of the development done with an easy access to the code details and a really nice documentation.&#10;Eventually to update some of the old example from the documentation access could be nice :)&#10;Having a direct view of the editor works as a company admin can be very nice too (currrently we have it by a specific request), but to have a simple dashboard who give details of how many time our editor spend in one lesson, one project, one activity or even in preview mode can be very interesting for internal challenging and to be hable to identify easily where our editor have difficulties
> 
> **Cons**: One of the biggest issue we are facing internally is the capacity to have non-technical user to go on the software to create content, i think it's pretty much the same issue with mInstructor, that is supposed to be the software for the teacher, but except if we have a total "geek" teacher profile most of them are lost. &#10;Plus adding a template library to give to our integrator the capacity to pick a page from template from a template divided by categorie will be nice for them.
> 
> Really good, I get the possibility to increase my overall knowledge of LMS and integration tool. The capacity to modify directly CSS and create specific addon to implement specific behavior on our Template is really nice. &#10;The “free” example provided from the documentation give a good newcomer starter pack and the documentation for each module is really nice and complete.&#10;We had few issue or specific request that were quickly handle by the mauthor ticket manager.

### "The Best Authoring for Education" — 5.0/5

> **Myron** | *24 November 2020* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The ability to meet all the needs of the educational community
> 
> **Cons**: The complexity of the feature set requires training time in abundance.
> 
> Awesome through many years.

### "Overall great and better than all of the other tools, but could use a few upgrades" — 4.0/5

> **Bogdan** | *25 November 2020* | Publishing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It offers, by far, most options for customization.&#10;For less complex pages it is easy to use (though for work with more complex materials, or customized templates users need to be very careful about how some modules or scripts might affect the whole product).
> 
> **Cons**: It would be great if more pages could be selected and copied to different lessons.&#10;In some cases, when the pages are long, mAuthor needs a few seconds to respond and when changing one measure it affects the other (shortening height of a module shortens its width, but only sometimes).&#10;It is very difficult to create responsive pages. Pages need to be created in multiple resolutions to achieve somewhat responsive screens.
