Surprised not to find Lumi and Activepresenter in the list

[@DrRYeap]

1. Thank-you for your useful comment. 2. I've just checked out Lumi (as a freeware and leveraged on H5P) and found it useful for my e-learning learners. 3. Activepresenter was also in my list indeed. 4. Nearpod was my original choice.

[@naveenselvaraj3977]

Vmaker, as well.

ISpring is not Free

[@iSpringPro]

Hello, in this video we are talking about iSpring Free - www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring-free

[@mar56313]

I agree. All these tools are 'free' with limitations and are cut down versions to wet your appetite to buy the real deal. There is very little free in any of them.

[@mar56313]

You can't make a presentation with more than 15 slides so it is "Free" but limited (for basic authoring of any decent course completely useless). The use of the word 'free' is a marketing tool. I'm just being honest here. There is no free. Everything is set up to entice/frustrate you to buy the real deal once you installed it and had a good play with it.

[@iSpringPro]

@@mar56313 Hello, thank you for your response. We're sorry to hear that your experience was not up to standards. We understand that a free version of the product is not enough for a course with more than 15 slides. But there can be situations when a person needs quickly make something small, for example, a quiz with several questions. For such tasks, free versions of products are perfect. The products usually also have trial versions, which have all the features, but for a limited time. In this video, we are talking about free versions of programs that are not limited in time for use. That is why we use the word "free". In case you want to try all the features, you are more than welcome to download the trial versions of the programs. For example, you can download and use iSpring Suite for 30 days: www.ispringsolutions.com/ispring-suite/trial Hope my answer will help you :)

[@mar56313]

@@iSpringPro Thank you for the reply. As the saying goes 'let's agree to disagree'. I took the review I read on face value and only after installing the product and actually wasting time creating slides it became apparent that it was not in fact free but limited use. You have a fantastic product in my opinion. In fact of the 6 products I installed and reviewed I found yours to be the best and easiest to use. I was creating a proof of concept for a work project to showcase a shift from eLearning/ assessment into reference style and it required more than the limited 15 slides thus eliminating iSpring from the list. Instead I used 'Open eLearning' (a lesser more bland product) to showcase the capability to my colleagues. Time wasted is opportunity missed. I truly wish you all the best.
