A common challenge faced by most eLearning developers with rapid eLearning tools is that of having no control over the look and feel of the output of the course. Templates, though created for Instructionally Sound courses, sometimes fall short of meeting the design and formatting needs of developers. Moreover, not all tools support inclusion of the vast types of media formats available.

In the constant attempt to overcome challenges faced by developers, Brainvisa has recently innovated the WYSIWYG template within the rapid eLearning tool, RapideL-i. Now, apart from the 100 templates provided to create instructionally rich courseware, this one blank template allows users to design the page the way they like, format it as required and add any media type within that course page.

Using the WYSIWYG template, users don’t have to imagine or visualize the look of the output, instead one can see it building up in front of their eyes. This means precise control over positioning of elements on the page. Moreover, one can easily add media (animations, videos etc) or insert images, tables, lists, hyperlinks etc. with just a few clicks. One can also create multi-lingual courses as this template supports a vast range of languages. In essence, the WYSIWYG template makes it very simple to create a course page without digging through the intricacies of HTML. No prior programming knowledge required – and there is no need to know what the HTML code looks like.

Apart from the ability to create Flash and HTML courses with RapideL-i, some other interesting features which will soon be added include the MS PowerPoint to Flash converter and MS Excel porting to create large volumes of courses offline, in a short time span.

RapideL-i is an internet-based, rapid eLearning content authoring platform which allows a server based collaborative development at anytime, from anywhere. Multiple users can now log on together and work simultaneously to create engaging eLearning at the speed of business. The courses created can be easily published with SCORM compliance, ready to deploy on an LMS. The new version delivers an intuitive end user-experience coupled with a global support plan.
