MasterClass is a professional authoring, editing, and presentation tool designed for publishers. It enables you to produce new, or blend existing, animated and interactive content that can be accessed online or as apps, in a very flexible framework, with capabilities far in excess of those of your competitors' applications.

MasterClass enables one-time authoring for publishing across platforms. It gives users a shared visual and interactive experience of your content, whether they use an iPad, Android tablet, PC or Mac.

Any existing content can be repurposed. Bring print, audio, video, and interactive materials seamlessly together in an application format that keeps the integrity of your designs and layout. Your interactive book and CD-ROM content no longer need to be separate entities.

With specialist players for each application, MasterClass is ideally suited for producing training and educational applications for schools and colleges, delivering lectures, tutorials or lessons for front-of-class teaching or delivery over the web, for producing content for self-study and producing assessments and homework assignments.

Users may be permitted to edit the content so, for instance, teachers could edit, customise and save their own versions of lessons or assessments and students could personalise their own revision notes.

One of the important facilities of MasterClass is the ability to create apps for the iPad (and Android tablets or phones) directly from the web application, without any programmer intervention. This offers enormous time and cost savings, without compromising your delivery for users regardless of their device and platform preference.

All of the interactive tools and content work normally and any content designed in MasterClass is automatically optimised for touch-screen devices.

MasterClass has in-built assessment capabilities, allowing you to create totally interactive, self-marking assessment products that are accessed by students over the web. Due to its flexible nature, MasterClass can be used as a stunning presentation layer, which is able to link fully with any custom back-end system, or it can be used to create standalone modules using open standards, such as SCORM, enabling it to work with any VLE. When completing assignments, students can use the full range of interactive tools to produce their working and all of the students' working can be captured. The Assessment Module has facilities for a model solution to accompany each question, which students can view when they have completed an assignment.

MasterClass produces content that will allow access from most mobile devices either online or through apps. A special "tablet mode" ensures optimum performance on Android tablets.

MasterClass has been designed to minimise data traffic and minimise the requirement for processing power. Use of online tutorial content does not require continuous connection to the web.

The sheer scale of adoption of the Apple iPad, however, makes the ability of MasterClass to take existing content and allow rapid conversion into an app for the iPad one of its principal advantages.

Because of its advanced architecture, MasterClass safeguards your investment for the future. Content produced in MasterClass is designed to be capable of delivery in a virtual classroom and the Assessment Module can be integrated into appropriate web conferencing software. It is easy to translate the content in MasterClass into other languages.
