iSpring Suite

"Great product!"

Comentários: I use it all the time to create eLearning content. It has multiple applications, such as learning courses, quizzes, conversation simulations, flip books, and more. Highly recommend.

Vantagens: I have been using the iSpring Suite for a few years now, primarily as a PowerPoint plugin to create eLearning and publish it in Scorm 1.2 format. It's very easy to turn a regular PowerPoint presentation into an interactive eLearning course.

Desvantagens: It's a great product. Using the suite through PowerPoint is powerful, but limiting if you don't use Office365.

"The most user friendly solution for creating interactive online courses"

Comentários: I love this software and the customer service, so despite I don't actually use all functionality (not collaborating and not using the cloud space offered) I am still happy to subscribe to the suit max.
This is the most intuitive and easy to use course authoring software perfectly integrated in Microsoft PowerPoint.

Vantagens: Its perfect integration with PowePoint makes the creation of an interactive online lecture easy and a joy. Compared to other products, the learning curve for iSpring is days rather than months. It's under interface is extremely intuitive, the functionality is near complete - hard to find any other option which might be necessary.
The customer service is brilliant, responsive and supportive.

Desvantagens: I think that some functionality is not necessarily needed for a single author (like collaboration) and some might not be worth the annual subscription (content library). It is unfortunate that even with a lifetime licence, I cannot get regular maintenance updates without subscribing to the full package. It would be a bit better if subscription options could be better optimized for individual needs.

"An intuitive time-saver"

Comentários: My job entails training those in caring professions how to use software - be it bespoke packages, or how to use Microsoft Excel to analyse statistics and everything in-between. Taking time out of busy and unpredictable schedules to attend an all day course on Advanced Excel is often not an option. iSpring Suite is allowing courses to be broken down into 15/20 minute 'learning episodes' that are more manageable. Furthermore, staff working nights are able to more readily access learning - something that was difficult in the past... Overall the software will improve access and participation, reducing IT Support workloads and helping ensure compliance, competence and ultimately provide more stimulating, engaging work.

Vantagens: The iSpring Suite bridges the gap between mundane PowerPoint based training, and more complex flash or HTML 5 based digital training, that requires a specific skills set that does not necessarily correspond with those of a teacher or trainer. It provides the right mix of interactivity to engage those of all learning biases, the versatility to cover almost any topic and a good range of assessment and analytics to simplify assessment and training effectiveness. Given that there is almost zero learning curve with the software, and the SCORM compliance enabling use with any Learning Management System worth it's salt, it's a extremely cost effective solution that simply lets you get on with creating content. Furthermore, should you be au fait with HTML and CSS, the output generated can by tweaked if required, but the standard interface and options provide a clean, user friendly and attractive front end to courses.

Desvantagens: The only slight tarnish on an otherwise perfect product is the lack of titling facilities within the screen/video capture module, iCamPro. This is a minor niggle, given that the iSpring Suite is integrated into PowerPoint, which can be used to bridge this shortfall through appropriate use of animation and export to WMV which can then be spliced into video files as required...

"Great software to develop your online course"

Comentários: It was easy to learn, has lots of great tools and options that make a course look so professional and highly interactive. I would recommend it!

Vantagens: I love the fact that it's a bolt-on to Microsoft Powerpoint. I don't have to learn a whole other software and I can use a combination of Powerpoint and iSpring features and functionality. It has a lot of cool tools, like different kind of user-interactions and quiz types that are super easy to set up and look amazing.

Desvantagens: The software is a bit pricey, especially if you need more than one developer. Some basic tools, like text-to-speech was only available in their Max software. I like the fact that they have a course-hosting software too, that it easily works with, I just wish it had more marketing features otherwise we would have chosen it.

"Agile Instructor"

Comentários: My support representative was excellent. Very knowledgeable and patient with me as a relatively new user. Thanks [SENSITIVE CONTENT]

Vantagens: It is built as an add-on in PowerPoint. It does a great job of taking advantage to features already built, but adds the functionality you need for authoring courseware. Really each to use.

Desvantagens: I'm not yet qualified to point our any negatives. The portions I have used have exceeded my needs and help me solve real problems for our students. My next area to explore is the Quiz Maker. My hope is that it support a number of question types and answer formats along with applying themes to each question.
