Articulate Alternative
While Articulate is the number one industry-standard suite for e-learning authoring, iSpring is often preferred when production speed and simplicity are the most important factors. iSpring cannot replace Articulate, but it can fairly compensate by creating visually engaging, interactive courses inside PowerPoint. Simply convert your existing slides into LMS-ready packages in no time.
PowerPoint Plugin
The truth is that organizations have stored and shared knowledge through PowerPoint from early on, and this instinctive habit still hasn’t changed much. PowerPoint often serves as a tool to transfer and develop knowledge, in which case there is a fair need to have it all right there. This is what iSpring offers, making it popular enough to compete with Articulate. iSpring is a PowerPoint plugin; you can build all the classical course elements directly in PowerPoint (quiz, drag and drop, etc.) and simply export it as a SCORM from there.
As a previous presentation designer, I was not only an official Prezi.com expert but a PowerPoint expert as well. I fell into the temptation too early on: what a beautiful world it could be to create all those amazing presentations, make them clickable and interactive, and even export them as a SCORM. Sounds too good to be true. And it was, “unfortunately.” I say unfortunately because this opened up a long years of technical learning process for me to understand why.
HTML is way more complex than a simple click-through presentation view. Being able to interact with the material as a learning experience, then even storing that, and collecting data about it in an LMS is much more complicated than it seems. It’s all doable, of course, but with massive limitations that are already making the idea of those beautiful presentations pointless. This is the hard truth of iSpring as a tool.
However, I would lie if I said it’s not worth implementing, because it is in specific cases. When the outcome is more straightforward, scaling and reproduction at a really fast pace are important, while still keeping a good user experience, then iSpring is a great choice. See the learning products that I created with iSpring in this explainer.
