CoursePan is a precision macOS authoring studio for instructional designers and educators. Build slide-based lessons with layers, states, timeline animations, variables, conditional triggers, and graded quizzes—or import existing .story archives directly on macOS and publish to standalone HTML5 or SCORM 1.2.

How CoursePan protects your files: When you import a .story archive, CoursePan embeds the original archive inside your .atelier project so you can always export an unchanged copy. When you choose Export Storyline Copy…, CoursePan patches only the modified XML nodes, verifies the resulting archive through StoryExportReadback, and refuses to write unproven edit types rather than risking silent file corruption.

Built for Instructional Designers on macOS

Work With `.story` Projects Without Booting a Windows VM

Instructional designers on Mac shouldn't need a 60 GB virtual machine just to inspect, update, preview, or republish a .story course. CoursePan gives you two clear, honest workflows.

Workflow 01 · Open as Editable Course

Convert Scenes, Slides, Question Banks, Layers, States & Triggers

Choose File > Import Storyline Project… and select Open as Editable Course. CoursePan parses the .story archive directly on macOS—converting scenes, slides, question banks, slide layers, shapes, rich text runs, embedded images, audio/video tracks, object states, timeline animations, variables, and conditional triggers into an editable CoursePan document.

Workflow 02 · Linked .story Custody

Byte-Exact Original Retention + Checked Writeback

CoursePan retains the original .story archive inside your project package so Export Original… always produces an unchanged byte-identical copy. When you use Export Storyline Copy…, every edit is checked by StoryEditProofs and verified by StoryExportReadback before a single byte is written to disk.

Interactive Elements

Hotspots, Markers, Sliders, Dials & Freeform Drag-and-Drop

Author rich interactive slide elements beyond static text and rectangles: interactive buttons, hotspots, labeled callout markers, numeric sliders, rotary dials, audio/video tracks, and freeform drag-and-drop interactions.

Hotspots & Markers Sliders & Dials Drag & Drop

Assessments & LMS Publishing

Graded Quizzes, Results Slides & SCORM 1.2 Packages

Build single-choice, multiple-choice, and drag-and-drop question slides with configurable attempt limits, custom point weights, feedback overlays, and a graded results slide. Export a self-contained HTML5 web archive or a standard SCORM 1.2 ZIP package for your LMS.

Privacy by Architecture

Zero Accounts, Zero Cloud Uploads, Zero Analytics

CoursePan runs inside the macOS App Sandbox with zero third-party SDKs. Your proprietary training materials, client .story archives, and exported SCORM packages never leave your Mac. Local previews run with connect-src 'none'.

Transparent Engineering Scope

CoursePan 1.0 Capability & `.story` Verification Matrix

We believe authoring tools should be transparent about exactly what they import, what they publish to HTML5/SCORM 1.2, and which edits are permitted by the checked .story writeback gates.

Capability Area	Native Authoring & HTML5 / SCORM 1.2	`.story` Import & Checked Writeback Scope	1.0 Status
Scenes, Slides & Question Banks	Create, rename, duplicate, delete, and reorder scenes and slides in the outline.	Imports scenes, slides, and question-bank draw slides; surgical slide rename, add, delete, and reorder verified by `StoryExportReadback`.	✓ Verified in 1.0
Rich Text, Geometry & Shape Styling	Edit text, font size, colors, solid fills, strokes, coordinates, size, and rotation.	Surgical in-place XML writeback updates edited text runs, bounds, rotation, fill, and stroke while preserving untouched sibling nodes.	✓ Verified in 1.0
Slide Layers & Object States	Author base slide + feedback/overlay layers and built-in or custom object states (`Normal`, `Hover`, `Selected`, `Visited`, `Disabled`).	Imports slide layers and object states; supports adding/removing layers and mutating state overrides with readback verification.	✓ Verified in 1.0
Timeline Entrance & Exit Animations	12 entrance/exit effects in the HTML5 & SCORM 1.2 player (`Fade`, `Fly`, `Swivel`, `Spin`, `Grow/Shrink`, `Float`, `Bounce`, `Wipe`, `Split`, `Wheel`, `Random Bars`, `Zoom`) + motion paths.	`Fade`, `Fly`, and `Swivel` are proven for `.story` import and surgical writeback; HTML5-only effects are clearly labeled and gated on `.story` export.	3 Proven .story / 12 HTML5
Variables & Conditional Triggers	True/False, Text, and Number variables; triggers for slide jumps, showing/hiding layers, opening URLs, and setting/adding variable values with conditions.	Imports Storyline variables and navigation/layer/variable triggers and writes validated trigger and variable edits back to the `.story` archive.	✓ Verified in 1.0
Quizzes, Results & SCORM 1.2 Export	Single-choice, multiple-choice, and drag-and-drop question slides with attempt limits, point weights, feedback layers, and graded results slides.	Publishes standalone HTML5 ZIP archives and standard SCORM 1.2 packages (`imsmanifest.xml` + CMI runtime reporting).	✓ Verified in 1.0
