An innovative collaborative authoring solution, Firefly Publisher enables developers of any skill level to simultaneously create engaging, interactive eLearning courses with exceptional ease of use, improving workforce productivity and development efficiencies.

Firefly Publisher embodies the basic tenets of KnowledgePlanet’s design philosophy: high quality eLearning that’s cost-efficient and easy to build, maintain, and deploy to your workforce – without requiring plug-ins or downloads.


Do you have a team of geographically dispersed developers? Not a problem. Firefly Publisher’s Web-based authoring environment gives team members of any skill set— authors, designers, subject matter experts and reviewers— one centralized environment for collaborating in real-time to create engaging, interactive eLearning. Search, access and share your own projects, media and source files-as well as those made accessible by others using your system-with heightened ease of use and flexibility that is unrivaled by even the most sophisticated LCMS solutions. With the introduction of advanced project tagging, you can apply multiple tags, filters, and color-coded flags to any project for more streamlined searching of stored assets. Raise the bar on interactivity to staggering levels, while transforming the way you conduct adult learning tests and assessments. Firefly Publisher enables you to simply insert a series of readily available, visually alluring ’play-and-learn’ games, complete with sound effects, directly into courses. Apply, adapt and even customize playful concepts, including game shows, rescue missions, space bubbles and more, to virtually any of your testing requirements, and watch your learners’ results soar. Intriguing end users and improving training effectiveness has never been so easy, and Firefly Publisher is the only authoring environment that can do the job. An intuitive desktop interface ensures that your team can develop feature-rich eLearning that’s on par with professional standards, without the need for programming skills. And with a detailed, “What You See Is What You Get” (WYSIWYG) environment, Firefly Publisher offers full control over the way elements appear and behave. With a unique, object-oriented approach, Firefly Publisher provides unprecedented control over the reusability of content. Styles, navigation rules, and persistent graphics are kept in distinct layers and objects, which are separate from the learning content. With a central repository, you can save, catalog, and reuse any element from any project – learning objects, assets, themes, and widgets – ultimately saving hours of time and effort. Firefly Publisher makes it easy to create sophisticated, powerful assessments to test your learners. Every interactive assessment feature imagined can be easily implemented using simple objects and widgets, without programming or scripting. Add Drag & Drop questions, Hot Spots, Fill-in-the-blank, and many other interactive objects throughout your courses as learning checks. For comprehensive assessment, you can use single or multi-chapter tests with predetermined or randomly assigned questions. With seamless integration between Firefly Simulation Developer and Firefly Publisher, you can add simulations to your courses with the simple click of a button. Developing engaging and effective eLearning has never been so easy – and neither has deploying it to your workforce.

All Firefly Publisher courses and Firefly simulations are completely compliant with SCORM 1.2 and 2004 protocols and are LMS independent – meaning you can track your learners’ progress, whether through KnowledgePlanet Learning or through your own Learning Management System.
