eXeLearning

eXeLearning is a free, open-source editor for making interactive educational resources with text, images, video, and activities. Teachers and other creators can build materials without programming, then export them in formats such as SCORM, HTML, and EPUB for sharing or publication. It can be used online and has official desktop installers for Linux, Windows, and macOS. For server-based use, eXeLearning CLOUD offers cloud storage and collaborative editing, with multiple users able to work on the same project simultaneously. Official plugins connect the editor with Moodle SCORM, Moodle Web, WordPress, and Omeka-S; the Moodle SCORM plugin supports tracking and grade collection. The project is coordinated by CEDEC-INTEF with regional education administrations, and is distributed under the GNU Affero General Public License 3. Version 4.0 brought accessibility improvements, while 4.0.1 improved ZIP extraction, authentication, and API access controls. There is no Android or iOS editing version, although eXeReader can display materials on mobile devices. Users can consult manuals, guides, tutorials, and FAQs or contact the community.
