How to Create Interactive Learning Content with Engageli Studio

Most of us rely on video to teach or train, but watching a video isn’t the same as learning from it. Without interaction or feedback, important ideas just don’t stick.

Engageli Studio is an AI-powered course authoring platform that transforms any video into an active learning experience. Upload videos of your lectures, training sessions, presentations, or informational content, and Studio creates engaging, self-paced modules with embedded quizzes, polls, and activities.

Studio’s AI significantly lowers production costs through faster content creation and reduced manual quality assurance efforts. By automating the technical aspects of course development, Studio provides instructional designers and producers with opportunities to focus on what matters most: promoting higher-order thinking and creating innovative teaching and learning experiences.
