Kallidus® 6 Author is a powerful application that allows you to create your own multimedia training programmes. You may deploy your lessons as a Standalone CD, Intranet or LAN course. Alternatively you can integrate your content into a Learning Management System. Kallidus® 6 Author integrates seamlessly with Kallidus Learning Management System and other 3rd Party Learning Management Systems using recognised standards such as AICC and SCORM. 

This system provides facilities for the authoring of Kallidus lessons. It runs off-line and operates entirely within the context of the author's machine. It is a WYSIWYG system: The author is able to browse through the lesson and see exactly what the student sees.
