I am new to ID but not to e-learning and content creation. I work a lot with Powerpoint and the transition from Powerpoint to iSpring made my learning much easier.
I don't dislike much. Maybe I would suggest a more "crisp" and sleek typography.
Probably the fact that, since it is easier to learn, we have saved time.
I am probably the opposite of a power user as e-learning was completely new to me. As someone outside of the e-learning industry looking to get started, I chose iSpring because it is integrated with PowerPoint and I didn't waste time learning the ropes. It is stable and I have found their support to be outstanding (both sales and technicians). I first learned of iSpring on this site which is why I am writing the review for others. They also have a Non-Profit Organization rate which was appreciated (Note that you will have to provide proof that you are an NPO which our accountant provided) For anyone out there getting started, I used Wordpress.org as my web platform, LearnDash as my LMS, Grassblade as my LRS, and iSpring for content creation.
I had an issue early on where I added some narration and then moved the file without moving the associated directory. This resulted in my thinking that my voice work had been lost but tech support helped me easily re-integrate it to my lesson. I wish I had known about that off the start but it seems obvious in hindsight.
This is being used to offer our educational content to the design community across Canada and reach out to those who are further away.
Most impressive is ease of use - the user interface and the wealth of content consistently presented therein allows you to make the creation of your content your number one focus.
I would prefer that a distinction be made between a simulation and a scenario.
Employees are completing routine English emails faster and giving technical presentations more fluently.
Ease of use, speed of delivery. No need to read the manual.
The progress window minimized after a while - but no big deal
We have users who insist on inserting full size photgraphs into Powerpoint presentations and bloating them. Add to that they want to share over the network. Nightmare! Ispring shrinks them down to a manageable size and reduces network load - perfect.
iSpring is very easy to use and the support team has been brilliant so far.
I have no complaints, so far everything is working the way it should.
I have been using iSpring Converter Pro for the past months to convert PowerPoint slides into HTML content that can be easily embeded in a web page and to present a brochure in a more engaging way. Using iSpring allows me to create animated content without needing to learn how to code.
How it integrates with PowerPoint and provides a back-end LMS that works in concert with the authoring tool.
All is good so far! I would like a comprehensive webinar on getting started.
Employee efucation
PPT 2010 and 2013 integration. If you are a wizard in PowerPoint then this tool is an absolute MUST!
Not much to dislike in this product. The only thing to note is that your machine should be up to scratch as publishing video heavy E-Learning which iSpring does brilliantly does require at least an I7 processor with 8-16 RAM (16 at least is better to avoid slow downs).
All the e-learning we produce is published in iSpring Suite. We regularly produce e-learning solutions for numerous clients from SME's to large corporates. They all want and need e-learning solutions that are cost effective and flexible. We have found iSpring to be the BEST and most hassle free tool to fulfil the needs of our clients. We use a variety of tools to produce various outcomes for e-learning but what is great is that we can incorporate any and all videos into iSpring and publish everything in one place. This tool is really brilliant for this.
The product is easy to use and the support staff really know the product and are able to help.
nothing - they are great and I have no complaints
Creating ongoing education - self paced tutorials and training presentations
The easy way to create awesome and dynamic Scorm packages. And the number of options i can use to do those.
There is not something i really dislike in ispring.
The benefit is the time i spend to make thing. I used a lot of software since 1999 to create elearning packages, but for the first time i decrease 60% of time to do the same work with ispring
Intuitive interface. Easy to incorporate into PowerPoint and creating tutorials. The customer service is also top notch.
There is not much I dislike about this software. The only thing is that I hope they continue to develop to incorporate some of the animated transitions (like the new morph feature) when exported from iSpring.
It is easy to turn out complex tutorials. The integration between PowerPoint animations and audio syncing is awesome.
