Fast and flexible Brightspace Authoring

As online learning becomes more prevalent, you want the courses you develop to be engaging and interactive, so your students get the most of their educational experience. However, if you’re like many Brightspace course developers, you find the course creation options to be static, which doesn’t work for today’s learners.

At SoftChalk, we developed a Brightspace authoring tool designed to provide the fastest, easiest, and most flexible way to create, manage, and share interactive course content with no programming skills needed.

Our built-in authoring tool is where the SoftChalk cloud-based platform shines and what makes it the perfect companion product for your learning management system.

The Benefits of Our Brightspace Content Authoring Tool

At SoftChalk Cloud, we want to make creating content for the Brightspace Content Authoring Tool Learning Management System easier.  That’s why we’ve developed our software with the benefits you need to experience the best of our Brightspace Content Authoring Tool.

Create Interactive, engaging, and accessible lessons

With SoftChalk, every educator can create awesome online lessons that are interactive and engaging for students.  Include games, self-assessment quizzes, and annotated text to give your learners rich, interactive learning experiences that are delivered directly into your Brightspace course.

Efficient Content Management

SoftChalk makes it quick and easy to manage your Brightspace content.  Create a SoftChalk lesson and link it into one or more courses in Brightspace.  When you need to update your lesson, simply modify your lesson in SoftChalk Cloud, and every course in Brightspace that links to that lesson is automatically, simultaneously updated.

Score Tracking

Track student score results from SoftChalk lessons directly into your Brightspace grade book as well as view detailed student score results like time spent on the lesson, number of lesson attempts, and which questions and answers the student completed.

Transition-Proof Content

If you’ve ever transitioned your course content from one LMS to another, you know the challenges. SoftChalk content integrates with any LMS and it’s quick and easy to make the transition.  You can even deliver your SoftChalk lessons into more than one LMS simultaneously.

We pride ourselves on providing a user experience that improves the online learning environment for educators and students.  Here’s a testimonial from a National Board Certified Teacher and Librarian who uses SoftChalk for both her teaching and professional development needs.

SoftChalk allows us to easily organize information for both teaching and professional development because it makes it so easy to integrate our own content and then add SoftChalk’s interactive activities. Here in Hampton City Schools, we love having this resource to assist us in our instruction. Using SoftChalk for my work has helped me be more productive so that I am working smarter, instead of harder.
