Quickstart
Get up and running with ChangeLab Creator in just a few minutes. This guide walks you through creating an account, starting your first project, and building a simple learning experience.
Sign in
ChangeLab Creator uses your AVT Google account for authentication.
- Go to ChangeLab Creator
- Click Sign in with Google
- Select your AVT Google account
- You will be taken to your dashboard
ChangeLab Creator is an internal AVT tool. You must sign in with your AVT Google account.
Create your first project
Once logged in, you can create a new project from your dashboard.
- Click New Project from the dashboard
- Give your project a name (e.g., "My First Course")
- Choose a platform:
- Meet — Timeline-based editor, ideal for linear learning flows
- Engage — Level-based structure with branching paths
- Activate — Standalone activities for quick deployment
- Click Create
You will be taken to the project editor where you can start building your content.
Add your first screen
Screens are the building blocks of your learning experience. Here is how to add a start screen.
- In the editor, click Add or drag from the asset panel
- Select Screens from the asset type
- Choose Start V1 or Start V2
- The screen will be added to your timeline or level
Different platforms have different ways of adding content. In Meet, you drag onto the timeline. In Engage and Activate, you add to levels.
Customise your content
Every screen and game can be customised using the sidebar editor.
- Click on a screen in your timeline to select it
- The sidebar will show all customisation options
- Edit the title, description, and button text
- Upload a background image by clicking the image field
- Adjust colours to match your branding
Changes are saved automatically as you work.
Common customisation options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Text fields | Edit titles, descriptions, and button labels |
| Images | Upload backgrounds, logos, and icons |
| Audio | Add sound effects or background music |
| Video | Upload MP4 files for video screens |
| Colours | Set theme colours for buttons, text, and backgrounds |
Connect GitHub (optional)
GitHub connection is only required if you want to deploy your project to a hosted URL. You can create and export SCORM packages without connecting GitHub.
If you want to publish your project to a live URL (rather than just exporting a SCORM package), you can connect your GitHub account.
Why connect GitHub?
- Deploy to a hosted URL — Share your project via a web link
- Version control — Your project files are stored in a repository
- Collaboration — Team members can access the project repository
How to connect
- Go to Settings from the dashboard or project menu
- Click Connect GitHub
- Authorise ChangeLab Creator to access your GitHub account
- Choose which repositories to grant access to (or allow all)
- Once connected, you can deploy projects from the Publish menu
ChangeLab Creator only needs access to create and update repositories for your projects. It will not access your other repositories unless you grant permission.
