PS What about LMS?
In my articles on “Which PowerPoint to flash converter is the best one?” I shared my thoughts and ideas. I tried to be objective but since I knew that I am not a professional in this like I said before I realized that there could be some things I missed…
I was happily using my iSpring Pro 3.2 version being sure that this is the best software ever before I received the following comment:
“Something you did not say, It support LMS(learning management system) and quizzes. Our teachers would benefit a lot from them.”
It made me think: “May be I missed something very important doing my research and the results might be not true?” I was not in panic, all I wanted to do is to make sure that my information is correct. LMS and e-learning in general are very big part of our teachers’ life and there are times when we need to create the content that can be published to LMS. So I went to iSpring Solutions web site and was happy to know that I was wrong doubting my iSpring. There is such an e-learning authoring tool that generates SCORM 1.2 and SCORM 2004 compatible content. This software is called iSpring Ultra.
In my opinion, e-learning is a huge topic to talk about. It has many sides and aspects that are not so easy to discuss in one short article. There is a wide range of tools that help teachers to create courses and publish them to LMS of different types. At the moment I am not working with any LMS, so I’m not familiar with that kind of software.
Innovations are great and some people may consider me a little old-fashioned for what I am going to say but as for me I got used to PowerPoint presentations much and I am not ready to switch to a different tool. So iSpring Pro covers my needs in my distance teaching (or e-learning) completely. Any way I would like to thank Sabrina for bringing this out and sharing her thoughts. If you have any idea on which e-learning authoring tool is real good, let me know. I’ll be happy to take a look!

katarinanovak, thanks for your additional information about the ispring ultra. I went to the link you provided and found that the ultra version cost $299. $100 more than the pro version. But Wondershare PPT2Flash Professional just need $199 and support LMS, Quizzes for teachers. If contrast with Ispring pro version. I think PPT2Flash Professional wins higher score.
Maybe you could have a look at the new release of V5.0 with two new template players.
