Transform content into engaging roleplay assessments

Author is an essential platform for higher education institutions that value delivering experiences that shape their learners' performance, sharpen their skills, and prepare them for real-world career settings. Building assessments in Author is streamlined, with Production Assistant creating high-quality content straight from your materials.

Learners are placed in realistic scenarios, step into a role, and practice skills in a safe environment. Our clear pedagogical frameworks keep every assessment aligned with meaningful learning outcomes, and assessments can be delivered to your institution's LMS at scale.

Authentic Practice

Place students in real-world scenarios to safely apply skills from course concepts and engage in authentic learning in the AI era.

Learner Feedback

Assessments built with Author can auto-grade all question types. Students and educators instantly receive feedback data for deep analysis of learner trends.

Integration and Accessibility

Assessments run natively on any device, meet WCAG 2.2 AA standards, and support LTI 1.1/1.3 for easy integration and scalability.

"Muzzy Lane's tools are a game changer. With the use of a solid prompt and concept, the tools create an engaging interactive simulation in minutes with the ability to fine-tune and edit as needed. I was able to create simulations that allow learners to practice their skills in a real-world scenario without spending countless hours developing the content from scratch. It allows open-response interactions that require learners to think critically and provides the opportunity for honesty in a safe space."

"I've used Author in Teacher Education courses, Nursing courses, and General Ed courses, and it's great for engaging students with complicated, abstract concepts in fresh and compelling ways."

Kelly Morris

Western Governors University

"As an instructor, I have used Muzzy Lane simulations because they promote critical thinking and problem-solving, which are important career readiness skills. The activities allow students to analyze information, make decisions, and quickly see outcomes - something I couldn't do in my classes in the past!"

Patrick Soleymani

George Mason University

"I had a great experience working with Muzzy Lane on the development of three simulations for our course HIS350: World War I. It is a credit to their development process and the Author tool that the simulations have continued to run smoothly for each group of students in the course since 2016, even as we changed our LMS."

Mary Berkery

Excelsior University

"Muzzy Lane's tools and capabilities for creating interactive simulations have helped us solve two critical issues. First, the simulations have dramatically enhanced the learner experience. Perhaps more importantly for our institutional partners, they have helped us scale assessment, which is a game-changer in the world of digital badging."
