Award-winning eLearning Authoring Tool
Our eLearning authoring tool is included with our HSI ThinkZoom LMS. Create your own courses or customize our off-the-shelf videos with our recording tool. This tool is not part of other HSI Learning Management Systems.
How to Record
If you are a user of the HSI ThinkZoom LMS, first, you must download the recording tool. Don’t worry, it is a quick installation.
Recording is simple. Click record, wait for the countdown, and record. You have three options with the recording tool:
