2. Advantages and Disadvantages of iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max)

Let's take a look at the advantages and disadvantages of iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max).
●Benefits
The benefits of iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max) lie in its simplicity, as mentioned earlier.
● Even without specialized knowledge or skills, you can complete an e-learning course simply by selecting commands and materials
● You can use the familiar PowerPoint interface
● Rich content such as interactive elements and narration can also be created by selecting commands
● Conversion of e-learning courses into various formats (SCORM, HTML5, MP4, etc.) can be done with one click
● It supports mobile environments
● The text-to-speech feature in multiple languages allows creation of narration audio in various languages
●Disadvantages
So, what are the disadvantages?
First, there are prerequisite conditions for use.
You need to have the desktop version of PowerPoint installed in your environment. It cannot be used in a cloud-based PowerPoint environment.
Also, to fully utilize the features of iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max), it is desirable to have a basic understanding of how to operate PowerPoint.
Additionally, it is not possible to create educational materials with complex structures that exceed the capabilities of PowerPoint.
For example, let's consider a case where a selection is made on a slide. It is possible to change the next displayed slide based on the selection (branching).
However, when performing the operation to return to the slide before the branching and make a selection again, the educational material cannot retain the history of the operations.
In other words, when you select option (1) and branch, and then return to the question screen, the history of having selected (1), as shown in the figure "A", cannot be retained. Therefore, if a link is simply set to go back, it will display exactly the same state as the original screen.

* Strictly speaking, there are corresponding measures for this, but they will be omitted in this article.
Additionally, iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max) is available via subscription and requires regular updates.
However, since iSpring Suite / iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max) is constantly updated, you can use it in the latest version.
* iSpring Suite also offers a perpetual license plan, but it is not eligible for updates.
3. Examples of Using iSpring Suite AI (iSpring Suite Max)

You can use the PC camera to capture the instructor's explanation and synchronize it with PowerPoint slides. Additionally, you can record the operation on the PC.
