Screen Tutor

Teach software by walking learners across the actual screen.

Best for: software training, systems, tools.

Build Software Walkthroughs Without Coding

Software training is usually a deck of screenshots with red arrows drawn on them. Learners read the deck, open the real system, and cannot find the button.

Screen Tutor puts the walkthrough on the screen itself. You mark the sequence, write the prompts, and export a single HTML file you embed in Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Canvas, Moodle, or any LMS that accepts HTML.

Use it for system rollouts, tool adoption, and help documentation, where the goal is somebody completing the task without a support ticket.

WHY IT WORKS

Screen Tutor points to each part of the actual software screen as learners work through a task.

Across 145 studies, simulations were among the most effective ways to build complex skills. Chernikova et al. (2020).
