Hi guys. It's been so long since my last post. I'm sorry. I have been working on many assignments lately so this blog has become quiet. Today, this post is about SmartBuilder. SmartBuilder is the fastest e-learning authoring tool for creating serious e-learning including scenarios, gamification, branching, assessments and more. SmartBuilder is a software created to design an interactive courseware offline. It is very entertaining and fun to use and the result is beautiful (if you done it perfectly with effort😁). With this kind of application, it helps teachers to learn on how to make an interactive courseware and also make the teaching learning process more interesting. At first, the process might be a little difficult but with practice it can be done easily. So, we have been assigned with an assignment which we need to create our own learning videos using SmartBuilder. We (my friends and I) have three weeks to complete the video. So here i have pictures to show the p...

Basically it is about creating instructional experiences which make the acquisition of knowledge and skill more efficient and effective.
