Coursecast and course authoring tools: different jobs, better together
Authoring tools are built for designing interactive e-learning by hand, and many now add AI assistance. Coursecast starts earlier and runs longer: it drafts from your source documents, and its roadmap focuses on keeping courses true to those sources as they change.
