The Genially alternative that reports to your gradebook
Genially is a genuinely beautiful tool and wins on visual polish — if the goal is a striking interactive presentation, it is hard to match. The gap in a school is what happens after a student interacts with it: whether the attempt was scored, whether it reached the gradebook, and whether the content matched the chapter being taught. Edukali H5P Smart Studio authors standards-based H5P from your chapter with AI, embeds it as a course activity, and reports results.
What Genially does well
Genially is a visual-first tool for interactive presentations, infographics and gamified content.
- Outstanding visual design and templates — the most attractive output of any tool in this category.
- Strong gamified and animated interaction types.
- Easy to use for non-technical teachers producing showcase material.

Frequently asked
Is the output as visually polished as Genially?
Not yet — visual design is where Genially genuinely leads. Edukali leads on curriculum alignment, standards-based output and gradebook reporting.
Do you support SCORM export?
Not today. It is on the roadmap; the .h5p download covers any H5P-capable LMS in the meantime.
What is H5P?
An open standard for interactive content. Because the output is standard H5P, it embeds in other platforms rather than being locked to ours.
Can the AI build content from my chapter?
Yes — that is the core of Smart Studio: board, class, subject and chapter in, drafted interactive content out.
Can I buy it on its own?
Yes, H5P Smart Studio is available standalone as well as part of the platform.
