Creating Video-based Learning Materials
iSpring Suite has features that are suitable for creating video-based learning materials. Basic editing tasks such as inserting videos and cutting out unwanted scenes can also be done. In addition, you can record a series of actions performed on the screen and save them in video format. With this feature, you can also create learning materials that explain how to use software, such as Office, by recording a series of actions.

Creating Educational Materials Using Animation
iSpring Suite is also useful for creating educational materials using animation. You can utilize PowerPoint's animation effects to create rich and dynamic content. Additionally, it also has the ability to add narration and synchronize it with the animation effects.

〈No Need for Professional Narrators: Voice Synthesis Function〉
The "voice synthesis function" that reads narration with artificial voices is also convenient. Since there is no need to rely on professional narrators, it is possible for one person to complete all stages of material production just by working at their desk.

〈SCORM Function〉
Generally, in order to operate and manage e-learning, the materials are installed in the LMS (Learning Management System). This is called "SCORM conversion※" of the materials, but in order to convert the materials to SCORM, specialized knowledge and skills are required, such as defining communication with the LMS. However, with iSpring Suite, you can simply select a menu to export the materials as SCORM.

※Create data that works as designed on the LMS by conforming to the SCORM standard. By making it SCORM-compliant, it becomes possible to manage learning history and test pass/fail on the LMS.

Variety of Materials Collection
iSpring Suite offers approximately 90,000 materials such as teaching templates, characters, locations, icons, and buttons. By combining these, you can easily create content without the need for illustration or material photography.
In addition, a variety of question templates are also available, making it easy to create quizzes and surveys.

What we have introduced is just a part of the diverse functions covered by iSpring Suite. In addition, it also includes convenient features such as language translation for narration and collaborative editing tools. By utilizing these, you can expect to reduce the time, effort, and cost involved in creating educational content.

iSpring Suite, which has various functions, is an ideal content creation tool for beginners in e-learning development as it is easy to use even for those who are not familiar with content creation.
