ZebraZapps Features

Visual Authoring. Powerful Interactions.

"I am interested in designing 'serious', non-immersive games with technical content and tried various other software prior to looking into ZebraZapps. Initially I played with various ZebraZapps functions just to get a feel, but quickly discovered that it is the tool I've been looking for. I like the wiring features that enable me to design interactions without the need for scripting knowledge. It was easy to learn at a basic level and then move on to more and complex features such as calculations and tables."

Professional Grade Visual Editor

Create Powerful e-Learning with Visual Authoring

Visually Create Interactivity

The most unique differentiator of ZebraZapps is the ability to create complex interactions through the use of a professional grade, visual editor. Each object on the screen, whether you can see it or hear it, has a message center where all the object's properties and actions live. Actions are things that the object can do, or things that can happen to that object. As an author, you create interactivity between objects through the use of a wire, which "talks" to other objects, the entire application, or a LMS.

Prototyping Prowess

Effectively Develop e-Learning within Real-Project Constraints

Brainstorm and Sketch

ZebraZapps celebrates SAM, an iterative design process, and provides a way to get the most effective development possible within the constraints of a real project. Uniquely in ZebraZapps, sketches are full-functioning objects and instantly interactive! Sketch your learning events in ZebraZapps and bring them to life with ZebraZapps’ amazing power of object replacement. Drop finished media onto your sketch or prototype and watch as all logic is maintained. Test your creative design with little effort or expense. You’ll be astonished by ZebraZapps' capabilities from prototype to delivering the finished
e-learning course!
