Raptivity from Trainer1 


Trainer1, one of the UK's leading independent e-learning specialists, has become a re-seller in the UK and Europe for Raptivity, the world's first rapid interactivity builder, which allows users to build the kind of interactive e-learning that gets learners completely engaged with the learning materials. 

Raptivity provides a unique library of over 110 rapidly-customisable interaction models. These interaction models are pre-built, captivating learning experiences that are instructionally sound and easily embeddable as well as professionally designed, engaging, involving and fun. 

The library of interaction models lets users build challenging brainteasers, compelling visuals and attractive presentation elements with ease. 

Users - who require minimal learning about the product and absolutely no previous programming skills - can create instructionally sound software simulations with little effort. Users can even build comprehensive learner surveys quickly. 

"With 12 years of e-learning creation under my belt, it is not often I get excited about a new product," said Trainer1's managing director, Neil Lasher. 

"With Raptivity the term 'rapid development' has really come of age. Users can even continue using their existing authoring environment and processes," he added.

Raptivity - the name is a corruption of the words 'Rapid Interactivity' - has been developed by Harbinger Knowledge Products, of Pune. It plays straight from an internet browser and requires no proprietary plug-ins.
