Install the GitHub App, link a repo, and push to main — Cloud builds and deploys automatically.
Zero-Config Services
Error reporting, learning data collection, and real-time course communication are auto-wired when linked to Cloud.
Course building is overdue for a modern framework
Most tools force course teams to choose between speed and control. CourseCode gives you both, with modern workflows that keep focus on content quality.
Protocol complexity handled for you
CourseCode handles the hard SCORM, cmi5, and LTI details so authors can stay focused on learning outcomes, not LMS headaches. When paired with CourseCode Cloud, delivery and management after the build are effortless.
Content-first, text-based authoring
Build courses with text-based authoring for layouts, interactions, and assessments. Move faster, review diffs clearly, and keep work reusable.
Precision instead of rigid GUI constraints
You get fine-grained control when you need it, including layout and branding control, without fighting drag-and-drop editor limits like alignment and spacing that slow real course production.
Built for every kind of course builder
From instructional designers to process-driven teams and hands-on builders, CourseCode fits how you work without forcing high-cost, locked-in tooling.
Instructional Designers
Build visually with optional AI guidance, then publish without getting pulled into infrastructure, packaging, or deployment complexity. Ship full courses to clients without giving up ownership of your source.
- Point-and-click authoring
- GitHub Desktop friendly versioning
- One-click Cloud delivery
Builders and Process-Driven Teams
Use the open-source framework in your own tools and workflows. Ideal for tinkerers, dev-oriented teams, and anyone avoiding expensive authoring-seat subscriptions.

Which delivery format is right for your client?
Every license picks a delivery method. Here's what each one means in practice.
LTI 1.3
No files. Your LMS calls us.
Your client's LMS launches the course directly from CourseCode Cloud using a secure handshake. No packages to upload, no files to manage. Every update you push goes live across all LMS instances immediately.
Best for: Clients with a modern LMS (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, D2L, etc.)
SCORM Proxy
Upload once, update forever.
Generate a thin SCORM wrapper your client uploads to their LMS once. The wrapper calls back to Cloud for content, so every update you push goes live without your client touching their LMS again.
Best for: Clients on older SCORM-only LMS systems who need ongoing updates
cmi5
The modern SCORM replacement.
A newer, lighter standard that gives you LMS-independence plus xAPI tracking depth. Better offline support and richer learning data than SCORM.
Best for: Modern LMS platforms and clients who need detailed learning analytics
How CourseCode Cloud works
CourseCode Cloud is the hosted delivery layer for courses built with CourseCode Framework or imported from a supported e-learning package.
2
Deploy once to Cloud
Cloud hosts the course, tracks versions, creates preview links, and lets you promote or roll back production deployments.
3
Connect it to your LMS
Use CourseCode Cloud to generate a file or link for your LMS. Learners launch from the LMS while you keep ownership and control of the course source.
4
Manage delivery after launch
Update hosted courses, manage client licenses, enforce access rules, collect runtime errors and learning data, and generate LMS-ready exports.
Your LMS remains the learner portal and system of record. CourseCode Cloud handles course hosting, package generation, licensing, previews, and analytics, making distribution and updates simple.
Common questions
Straight answers before you sign up.
Is CourseCode Cloud an LMS?
No. CourseCode Cloud does not replace your LMS, enroll learners, manage transcripts, assign training, or act as the learner portal. It hosts and manages course delivery so your courses can launch from an LMS through standards like LTI, cmi5, and SCORM.
What is an LMS?
An LMS, or Learning Management System, is the platform an organization uses to assign, launch, track, and report training. Examples include Moodle, Canvas, Blackboard, Cornerstone, Docebo, TalentLMS, SAP SuccessFactors, Workday Learning, and similar systems.
What LMS systems work with CourseCode Cloud?
CourseCode Cloud works with LMS platforms that support standard e-learning launch formats: LTI 1.3, cmi5, SCORM 1.2, or SCORM 2004. The best format depends on the LMS. LTI and cmi5 are preferable when available; SCORM 1.2 is the broad compatibility fallback.
Where does the learner go to take the course?
Usually the learner starts in your LMS. The LMS launches the CourseCode-hosted course or a CourseCode-generated package, then receives completion, score, and learner-state data according to the selected format.
Do my learners need to install anything?
No. Learners open your course through their existing LMS, the same way they always do. CourseCode Cloud is invisible to them. Nothing to download, configure, or sign up for.
What happens to my courses if I cancel?
Your course files are yours and are not locked into CourseCode Cloud and can be hosted elsewhere. If you stop using Cloud, Cloud-hosted delivery, licensing, analytics, and preview links stop.
Can I upload content made in Articulate or Captivate?
Yes. Upload any zipped SCORM or cmi5 package as a BYO Zip course. You get hosting, licensing, and delivery features regardless of what tool made the content.
Can I deliver to more than one LMS from the same course?
Yes. Create one hosted course, then issue separate licenses to each client LMS, each with its own delivery format, seat limit, and expiry. One push updates all of them.
What does "kill switch" actually mean?
Each license has an active or revoked status you control from the dashboard. Toggle it off and new launches for that client stop immediately. Useful when a contract ends or you need to pull a course before a re-release.
Do I need the CourseCode Desktop app to use Cloud?
No. Cloud works with any tool that produces a standard SCORM or cmi5 package, including Articulate 360 and Adobe Captivate. The Desktop app and Framework are optional companions that add AI-assisted authoring and code-based workflows.
How does CourseCode Cloud work with an LLM or AI assistant?
CourseCode courses are regular project files, so an AI assistant can read and edit the course source. With CourseCode tooling, the assistant can use course context, preview state, screenshots, lint results, and runtime errors to help build and fix the course. Cloud then hosts, delivers, and monitors the finished course; the LLM is part of the authoring workflow, not the LMS.
Does my client need a CourseCode account?
No. Your clients never interact with CourseCode at all. They access the course through their own LMS the same way they access any other content. CourseCode is entirely behind the scenes.
Can I share a preview before a course goes live?
Yes. Every deployment can generate a time-limited preview link you can share with stakeholders or clients for review. The preview is separate from your live production version and does not affect learners.
Where is my content hosted?
Course files deployed to Cloud are stored on Cloudflare R2 and served through Cloudflare's global CDN. Your editable course source remains yours; CourseCode Cloud stores the deployed course files needed for hosting and delivery.
Ready to own your course stack?
Build in the open-source CourseCode ecosystem, then use Cloud to deploy, deliver, and license courses without vendor lock-in.
