Digitalchalk Reimagines Chalkboard To Power Next-Generation Video Learning Experiences

Enhanced built-in authoring tool helps training teams create, update and deliver interactive eLearning courses, without SCORM or third-party tools.

ASHEVILLE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#ATD2025--DigitalChalk, a leading provider of Learning Management Systems (LMS) since 2006, proudly announces the release of its most significant authoring upgrade to date: the enhanced Chalkboard video editor. The updated Chalkboard combines powerful video and audio tools, an all-new slide editor, and a fully customizable and responsive learner experience inside the DigitalChalk LMS.

The original Chalkboard has been a foundational part of the DigitalChalk platform for nearly two decades. With this reimagined version, DigitalChalk empowers course authors to create polished, professional training content without leaving the platform. No SCORM packaging, external tools, or file uploads are required.

Training Leaders will experience these key benefits of the enhanced chalkboard:

Modernized Video & Audio Support

With advanced encoding, you can upload large files faster and stream more reliably. Plus, content creators can leverage a completely new audio element designed for today’s podcast-style training and narration.

Learner-Controlled Layouts

Give learners complete flexibility to choose how they view content, resize panes, switch positions or expand to a full-browser immersive mode. This responsive flexibility works seamlessly across device types.

Smart AI Captions

Automatically detect audio and generate captions in seconds. Make quick edits with a built-in caption editor without the need of third-party tools..

Revamped Chapters & Checkpoints

Easily add chapters for better navigation. Include visually enhanced checkpoints with embedded images and dynamic controls to keep learners engaged and on track.

All-New Slide Editor with Unsplash Integration

Build slides directly in DigitalChalk using 1,900+ fonts, styling tools and embedded royalty-free images from Unsplash. No more PowerPoint uploads, just create and publish.

Updated Timeline Management

With intuitive editing tools, you can drag, drop, reorder, and auto-fill slides across your video or audio timeline, saving hours of course production time.

How It Works

The enhanced Chalkboard is built into the DigitalChalk LMS. No additional software, plugins or integrations are needed. Users can author, edit and publish multimedia-rich learning content all within one streamlined experience.

Real-World Use Cases

For employee onboarding, use welcome videos, branded slides and interactive checkpoints to deliver consistent, up-to-date training right inside the LMS. For customer product training, combine narrated demos, embedded tutorials, and knowledge checks to build scalable, self-serve learning experiences without external tools.

“We’ve completely rebuilt Chalkboard to support how modern learning happens,” said Troy Tolle, Co-founder and CTO of DigitalChalk. “From automatic captions to custom layouts and an incredible timeline editor, this release gives both learners and course creators more control and power than ever before.”

“This upgrade is a major leap forward,” said John Leh, CEO of Talented Learning. “DigitalChalk’s updated Chalkboard enables organizations to create interactive, professional-grade video training without the complexity. It’s a game changer for both internal and external training teams.”

DigitalChalk will demonstrate this innovative functionality from May 18-20 at the ATD International Conference & Expo in Washington, DC. Attendees can stop by booth #1532 to see it, and training leaders can also visit www.digitalchalk.com to learn more.
