Articulate endorses Kineo Rapid E-learning Flatpacks

May 03, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Kineo, the leading rapid e-learning company, and Articulate, designers of the award-winning Articulate rapid authoring tool suite, share a view on rapid e-learning: To create rapid e-learning that works, you need an authoring tool to get started. To ensure it’s of the highest quality, you need learning design and content as part of that toolset.

That’s why Kineo has designed Rapid E-learning Flatpacks. Rapid E-learning Flatpacks provide everything required to quickly build high quality e-learning out of the box, at a fraction of the cost of bespoke e-learning, but with all the flexibility. Flatpacks contain a complete script, professionally designed graphics, a high quality set of templates and quiz questions.

Kineo’s Rapid E-learning Flatpacks are fully compatible with the Articulate suite of products, combining to create a powerful offering of tools, design and content to enable the learning professional to get a head start on rapid e-learning.

Mark Schwartz, Executive Vice President at Articulate said: “Kineo's Flatpack E-learning offering is a great example of how Articulate's rapid e-learning authoring tools empower learning professionals and subject matter experts alike to easily create and customize rich, compelling e-learning courses. The Flatpack provides mass customization of rapid e-learning content, enabled by Articulate and brilliantly conceived by Kineo."

Kineo’s Stephen Walsh said: “Creating flatpacks is a major step in making rapid e-learning available to everyone. With a powerful and easy-to-use authoring tool like Articulate, combined with the Rapid E-learning flatpacks, it’s possible to create quality e-learning with proven content in rapid time – and then make it your own through easy customisation.”

Rapid E-learning Flatpacks are available for topics including Equality & Diversity, Fire Safety Awareness, Recruitment, Performance coaching, Sales skills and Absence Management, with new Flatpacks being added constantly.
