This tool allows you to take your existing PowerPoint based learning content and convert it to interactive SCORM compliant e-learning presentations.

This tool comes with the backing of a big, reliable brand, (Adobe), who have been in the game a long time.

It’s more suited to advanced users, however.
5. Kotobee

While their software is known for creating interactive ebooks, they have other attractive features that keep educators coming back for more, like Tin Can integrations, performance tracking, auto-correct questions, and score reporting.
You’ll find many options for importing content from PDFs, DOCs, and even websites and blogs, but you’ll find far more options for exporting ebook formats: SCORM packages, PDFs, EPUB, MOBI (for Kindle), apps, and ebook libraries, etc.
