From static to interactive
Transform PDF and
InDesign files with
the MosAIc tool
Avallain Author’s unique MosAIc tool harnesses the power of AI to transform your PDF and InDesign-based content into interactive Learning Objects (LOs). Simply import your PDF or InDesign file and MosAIc will extract the text and images. This then allows you to compile them into interactive exercises, reducing the time required for this task by up to 30%.
MosAIc also allows you to select specific areas of text or images within your document, choose the Activity Type you want to add to your LO, and enhance it with additional images. Once your LO is ready, you can preview it and seamlessly publish it to Avallain Magnet, our out-of-the-box learning management system.
Moreover, MosAIc can automatically detect activities on the page, select the appropriate activity type, and generate interactive activities in the standard Avallain Author format.
