We
are very proud to announce the launch of the free edition of our
easygenerator authoring tool on October 12th. From that
day on it will be possible to go to our website, fill in a form and
start working in easygenerator within a minute. This edition is
completely free and without any time limits. If you'd like, you may
preregister now at www.easygenerator.com/free
(you will receive your login instructions by email on
October 12th, just before the official
launch).
This
blog post will give you an overview on what you can expect from our
free edition. There is a lot more information on the easygenerator
website than we can put in this blog post, included in this post
are links to relevant pages with videos and presentations that
provide more detail.
SaaS service
Easygenerator is a SaaS solution, all data is securely
stored on our webservers and is accessible anyplace, anywhere and
anytime. For the free version we will start out with webservers
located in the USA, Europe, Asia and Australia. The authoring
interface of easygenerator is a Windows application, so you will
need a computer with Windows to run it. That
said, the courses you create with easygenerator can run on any kind
of computers, browser, or mobile device.
Complete eLearning
courses
This free edition will enable you to create complete
eLearning courses. It will contain the 'What You See Is What You Get
interface'. With the free edition of easygenerator
you can create publicationsin
SCORM 1.2 and in HTML, allowing you to run the courses through your
LMS and on mobile devices.
Didactical approach
Our goal is to enable you to create better eLearning so
we have included all the options around our unique approach of Learning
objectives all branching options, and all adaptive
facilities.
PowerPoint import
The free edition will have the PowerPoint import tool,
enabling you to import your courses made in PowerPoint into
easygenerator and use the texts and images as a starting point for
a 'proper' eLearning SCORM or mobile course. PowerPoint animations
will not be imported, but you can build them in easygenerator with
our timeline function.
External review
We will include the external review
option, we believe this is one of the coolest
things we've developed. From the authoring environment you are able
to send an invitation to anyone through email and they will get
access to your course through our web server. It will look and
function completely just as the learner would see it, but they will
have the ability to include comments on each page. These comments
will automatically become available inside the authoring
environment.
There is a lot more. You can embed
web based content such as Youtube videos, create question
pools and more.
Limitations
In comparison to our subscription edition the free
edition has some limitations. You can only have a single account
(so you can't use our collaboration options) and there is a maximum
of 10 courses. An overview of these limitations can be found
on www.easygenerator.com/free
, this page also contains the form to preregister for
the free edition.
As you can see there is a lot to discover.
In order to help you we will organize a series of free webinars
where we will give you a 30 minute introduction of easygenerator.
If you preregister for the free edition you will automatically
receive an invitation for one of these webinars.
