Award-winning Raptivity Announces New $395 Raptivity Zest - Additional 200 interactions available as optional add-on packs combine affordability and extendibility

August 16, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
Harbinger Knowledge Products, the creator of Raptivity, the world’s first rapid interactivity builder, announced the release of Raptivity Zest. Raptivity Zest packages full featured Raptivity with 12 instructionally sound interactions. Currently priced very affordably at $395, Raptivity Zest considerably lowers the startup costs for interactivity.

"We did not want to leave behind potential users of interactivity simply because of budget limitations. Raptivity Zest gets them up and running at low cost, and helps them champion rapid interactivity in their organizations. This can justify investments in additional interactions as they realize a return on Raptivity Zest. Needless to add, the choice for additional interactions is huge: after all, Raptivity library ships over 200 of those,” said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director of Harbinger Group.

Raptivity Zest includes instructionally sound interactions for presentation, exploration, reinforcement, testing, feedback and reference. Thus, users can add interactivity through all stages of an eLearning course.

Users can easily upgrade to additional interactions any time. Raptivity Core Pack provides 35 interactions, and Raptivity Standard Packs together provide 105 interactions. These include brainteasers, presentation aids, interactive diagrams, surveys, flow diagrams, overview visuals, software simulations, SCORM objects, interactive questions and others.

Games, Video and Simulation interactions are available in Raptivity TurboPacks. Raptivity Booster Pack provides interactions for games, soft skill simulations and learning aids.

Raptivity users in over 30 countries appreciate the high instructional design value in Raptivity. The same is maintained in Raptivity Zest as well.

“With an additional 25% off, individual teachers in schools and colleges now have an easier entry-point for the award-winning Raptivity. Raptivity Zest truly combines affordability, extendibility and high instructional design value. We are sure Raptivity Zest will accelerate the spread of rapid interactivity,” added Seema Chaudhary, Director, Business Development.

This new release comes on the heels of Harbinger’s recognition in global top 20 specialized learning process providers by TrainingOutsourcing.com.
