Harbinger Releases Elicitus Studio

Online, May 13, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Harbinger Knowledge Products has released Elicitus Studio - the perfect eLearning platform. It is a rapid authoring and interactivity building solution that can fit any budget. Elicitus Studio allows online training developers to create highly interactive courses - easily and affordably. It includes the ability to import existing PowerPoint presentations, WYSIWYG course creation editors, pre-built library of a dozen Raptivity learning interactions (including games, simulations, active video, and more to create interactive courses) and SCORM publishing options.

"For organizations embarking on their eLearning initiatives now in the year 2010, simply converting the material to online books is not going to be good enough. Learners, today, are exposed to a variety of digital experiences and they expect their eLearning also to be highly interactive. Elicitus Studio is designed for such organizations that neither have a lot of time to spend looking for different tools nor a huge budget. Elicitus Studio bundles everything in one package to get them started in no time", said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director, Harbinger Group.

Elicitus Studio includes Elicitus Express, which is a leading eLearning authoring tool, Elicitus SlideConverter for importing existing PowerPoint presentations and a set of dozen meaningful and instructionally sound Raptivity learning interactions including learning games, branching simulations, active videos and more. Interactions help transform an otherwise dull page-turner course into an interactive experience, thereby improving learner engagement and hence retention.

"With an unbelievable $495 price tag, Elicitus Studio becomes a very attractive choice. The ability to include cool learning games and simulations right in the courses without the need to use Flash or any other tool reduces the time and cost in course creation. Elicitus Studio is an ideal solution for organizations looking for quick time to market in developing a wide variety of visually appealing and engaging courses with a short shelf life", said Seema Chaudhary, President, Harbinger Knowledge Products Inc.
