I built a free, open-source authoring tool for interactive learning content
Hi everyone,
I’ve been building Scaffold, a free and open-source authoring tool for creating interactive learning content for the LMSs organisations already use.
The aim is to make authoring feel less like configuring software and more like writing in a modern editor.
Scaffold can be used to create scrolling lessons or slides with structured content, media, interactive activities and assessments. You can add and configure blocks directly in the editor and quickly switch to the learner view.
It currently supports Moodle and Open edX, and the core is open source.
It’s still pre-alpha, so there are bugs and rough edges, but it’s ready for people to explore and I’d genuinely value feedback from anyone working in e-learning or course authoring.
I’d be especially interested to hear:
Does the authoring experience make sense?
Which activity or assessment types are missing?
What would stop you from using something like this?
Which LMS integrations would be most useful?
You can try it here:

Happy to answer any questions about how it works.
