Create Authoring Tool

Getting started with our Authoring Tool

dotty about our DLE

It really is easy to create your own e-learning and we have a User Guide and workshops to help you get started.

Our Authoring Tool is available to all Learning Pool subscribers as part of your core subscription.

Once you've installed the AT software you are free to create fantastic e-learning using all the new features of the tool.

With the latest ATV5 you can add video and podcasts to your e-learning, plus sound.  Your e-learning will look more professional due to the look and feel enhancements we've made.

See details below for how to install, upgrade and register your copy of the AT.

Installing your Authoring Tool

Your Learning Pool core subscription allows anyone in your organisation to download and use the Authoring Tool.




Click here to download the installation programme for the latest version of the Authoring Tool.  View AT5.4 User Notes.

The installation programme is a standard MSWindows installation package.

Installing on a Citrix system is a one-off activity and we've produced a guide to help you and your IT colleagues with this process.

We're happy to work with your IT colleagues to ensure a smooth installation whatever your network.

ATV5 is fully compatible for projects written in previous versions of the tool. Any course written in ATV4 can be upgraded in a matter of seconds.

Free Authoring Tool upgrades


Your Authoring Tool improves over time due to the upgrades requested by you. So the Tool is shaped by you, our community of users.

Download the latest upgrade for your existing version of the ATV5.  View AT5.4 User Notes.



We don't supply the AT to anyone outside the Learning Pool community.  We aim to improve the AT so you can create exactly the e-learning you want. This means that all new releases feature upgrades as requested by users of the AT.

Upgrades are optional but we recommend you upgrade to ATV 5.4 to get the latest features.


ATV5 is 100% backward-compatible for projects written in a previous release of ATV5.  Any course written in an earlier version will load seamlessly into the latest release.
