Say Hello to Advanced Actions and Feedback Masters in ActivePresenter 7.5

November 21, 2018

Welcome to ActivePresenter 7.5! This release is a major update that adds vast power to the software. There include many new and enhanced features for creating professional-looking screencasts and eLearning content.

New Features

Advanced Actions

Actions lie at the heart of interactive content, and the brand-new advanced actions will take your content to the next level. Advanced actions are designed to combine multiple conditional actions into a single one that can be reused effortlessly. Thus, they streamline the interaction-making process and improve the workflow. Design scenario-based training content faster by using advanced actions.

Feedback Masters

Feedback masters are now ready for use. Similar to slide masters, feedback masters offer a consistent look and feel across feedback layers throughout your course. Go above and beyond the predictable “Correct” and “Incorrect” feedback messages by making use of meaningful, context-sensitive feedback through images, videos, and more.

[HTML5] New Player Design

Being far more elegant, flexible, and thoroughly customizable, the new player will please both course designers and learners. Many skins and presets will extend choice of the “look” of the player. As for the “feel”, more options have been developed to provide complete control over the behavior of the player and many of its elements.

The redesigned player also supports attaching resources to the course. This is great if you want to give learners relevant information, related websites, or a printable copy of the slides. Author video is another useful addition as it integrates presentation slides with a talking head or an explainer video.

[HTML5] Course Review

It’s good for learners to revisit the course after completing it to review what they have done. The review mode, which is accessible from the report slide, allows learners to review their answers after completion. Learners can see correct and incorrect answers, correct values, and the overall result of each interaction and slide.

Equations

Pixel-perfect equations and formulas are ideal for presentations and quizzes on math or any science. Besides writing from scratch, you can copy equations from Microsoft Office for reuse. Using equations, it’s possible to build a quiz for, for example, high school students where they have to divide radical expressions.

Animated Timers

Quiz markers will be glad to hear the inclusion of the animated timer object. Both visually customizable digital timers and progress bars are ready to count up or down at run time and trigger an action when the time is up. For example, you can use a countdown timer to force learners to jump to the report slide at the end of the minute.

Publish to YouTube

For anyone who creates YouTube video tutorials, the Publish to YouTube feature will be a great helper and time-saver. This one-click feature enables you to export your project as a video and upload it to YouTube directly from ActivePresenter. You no longer have to save a video to your computer and go to your YouTube channel to upload it.

Export to PDF in macOS

ActivePresenter for macOS will see the addition of the Export to PDF feature. Make your presentation universal and compact for sharing and printing with high-resolution PDFs.
