Raptivity Version 6.5 adds media support and additional customization options

Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/21/2011 -- Harbinger Knowledge Products today announced the release of a new version of its flagship interactivity building software, Raptivity. The new version 6.5 includes a string of features that enable more flexibility and extensibility for E-Learning course creators to design interactive courses.

The new release sports several exciting features. While some of the incorporated features are ideas derived from customer feedback, others are designed to offer greater flexibility to the interactivity templates. The two core packs, Essential and Zest now come with a new media toolbox, which allows users to add additional media such as videos, images, textbox and buttons to the interactions. eLearning course creators can now incorporate additional media objects within the Raptivity interactions for an enhanced professional look. After releasing mobile publishing in its core Essential Pack last year, this release now extends the feature to five more packs out of the total fourteen packs.

"Flexibility and extensibility have always been vital to E-Learning course creation, right from the early days of CBT [Computer-based Training]," said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director of the Harbinger Group. "The emergence of new rich media, faster connections, near-ubiquity of laptops, devices and Internet connections has added a new meaning to interactivity in online learning. The new release sets the bar even higher when it comes to flexibility as course creators have novel and easy means to build media rich rapid interactions."

The new customizability in the six product packs is christened 'FlexiRaptivity' in keeping with the theme of flexibility afforded by the new design. Seema Chaudhary, President of Harbinger Knowledge Products, commented, "What is required of a rapid development tool is constantly evolving among the course designer community.

Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) --06/06/2011 -- Harbinger Knowledge Products, the company behind leading eLearning products Raptivity and Elicitus announced a major release of Elicitus 8.1 (http://www.Elicitus.com). Elicitus is a leading desktop authoring tool for trainers, educators, subject matter experts and other e-learning creators worldwide.

The new Elicitus 8.1 release is a big step for the product, and adds many significant features.

YawnBuster Connect to support live presentations, webinars and virtual meetings

Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/10/2011 -- Harbinger Knowledge Products, a global leader in interactive eLearning, presentation and website software, announced today that it has released the next generation of online audience response systems (ARS) that will allow teachers, trainers and business presenters to easily and affordably engage and interact with their audience.

The cutting-edge ARS combines with YawnBuster, Harbinger's award-winning presentation software, into a new program called YawnBuster Connect. The advanced response system lets presenters and speakers collect, view and instantly share audience responses in real time without the need for traditional audience clicker pads or any software installation for viewers.

YawnBuster Connect works for both online meetings and webinars as well as in-person seminars and lectures. Attendees need just a mobile device or a laptop to become an active part of the session. The audience can interact with the presentation by simply visiting a URL on their mobile phone or laptop's web browser.

For presenters, YawnBuster Connect is a significant step forward from what has been available until now. Traditional hardware-dependent audience response systems – slammers or clickers that look like a remote control – are very expensive and are limited to only face-to-face meetings, and software keypads can only be used in virtual meetings.

"Audience response systems create an interactive and fun learning environment, but the previous generation of ARS came with limitations that prevented most teachers, trainers and presenters from using them, " said Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of Harbinger Group, parent company of Harbinger Knowledge Products. "With this next-generation ARS, many more presenters will be able to take advantage of this tremendous teaching tool to really have an impact on their audience."

Joshi said YawnBuster Connect will help presenters keep their audience's attention, increase knowledge retention, and confirm that their audience ¬is understanding the material they are presenting – whether they are students in a classroom or executives at a corporate meeting. Speakers can quickly collect data from viewers, take anonymous polls, track individual responses, and display polling results immediately for all to see.

"YawnBuster Connect truly connects presenters to their audiences like never before," said Seema Chaudhary, president of Harbinger Knowledge Products. "The system not only allows presenters to adapt their material as they go along to make it more relevant for viewers, but they can review reports afterwards to improve their presentations the next time.

"Our goal was to provide a cutting-edge ARS that is powerful and yet simple to use," she said. "We think we've done just that with YawnBuster Connect. Because it's so easy to operate, teachers and other presenters can focus on what they do best – present the content, rather than spend their time managing the hardware or software part of an audience response system."

Every YawnBuster Connect session is given a unique id and a unique URL, which the presenter can show on the big screen in the room or via web meeting software. The attendees can answer questions, participate in a poll or game, and even type in free-form text to chip in with their opinions.

YawnBuster Connect is available in a periodic subscription model from the YawnBuster website, http://www.yawnbuster.com.

Interactive Graphs Pack designed to enhance all types of PowerPoint presentations

Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2011 -- Harbinger Knowledge Products, a global leader in interactive eLearning, presentation and website software, announced today that it has released a new library for its Raptivity Presenter software that will allow users show graphs and charts interactively in PowerPoint for the first time.

The library, named Interactive Graphs Pack, is now part of the PowerPoint add-in software for Raptivity Presenter. The software helps in creating meaningful and expressive interactions for PowerPoint presentations.

"The Interactive Graphs Pack has the potential to dramatically change the way people present information in charts and graphs," said Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of Harbinger Group, the parent company of Harbinger Knowledge Products. "This will help present complex business concepts, ideas and information in a much clearer, more relevant way."

Seema Chaudhary, president of Harbinger Knowledge Products, said most presenters show important statistical information in the form of graphs and charts. "But more often than not, there is more information to communicate than what is just visible on the slide," she said. "The Interactive Graphs Pack will enable presenters to communicate the context, and bring out the implications and insights hidden behind these graphs."

Although the graphs and charts include the traditional types –line, bar, pie, bubble and others - the interactive elements make them entirely different. With the new library of interactive charts and graphs, presenters will be able to add notes right alongside the data points. For example, presenters might be able to explain more clearly why the sales of a product were low in a particular month than in other months.

Another set of interactions in this pack is called Cluster Annotation Graphs. These interactions help the reader focus on the interpretation of graphs at the series or cluster level instead of each data point of the graph.

The Interactive Graphs Pack adds 11 new interactions to Raptivity Presenter, bringing the total to well over 50 interactions. Last fall, the company added a Business Presentation Pack, which included a powerful set of interactions that covered customer testimonials, showing of hierarchies, memos and others.

"Between the Interactive Graphs Pack and the Business Presentation Pack, Raptivity Presenter provides great value to corporate users who want to create presentations that communicate complex business information to various stakeholders in the right way," Joshi said.

Gensco developed 250 courses for 20,000 attendees using Raptivity and Elicitus

Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/01/2010 -- Five years ago, Morris Mutal, the training coordinator for Gensco, was researching ways to augment the Fife-based HVAC wholesale distribution company's training program of traditional classroom style learning by incorporating online education.

Mutal understood that the distribution and manufacturing company didn't easily lend itself to formal classroom courses since many of its employees were on the road a lot or worked in one of their 26 stores in 5 northwest states. Yet they worked in a fairly technical business and required continuous training to keep up with the latest products, services, or processes.

After researching a variety of eLearning software products, Mutal chose Elicitus, developed by Redmond-based Harbinger Knowledge Products. He liked the ease of use and how quickly he was able to develop compelling, interactive curricula. Since his first class, Mutal has seen the development of 250 courses for 20,000 Gensco attendees using both Elicitus and Raptivity, another of Harbinger's eLearning products.

Last week, executives at Harbinger gathered to honor Mutal and Gensco for reaching that important training milestone.

Courses with Raptivity interaction models will now play on iPhones and iPads

WA, PO Box 2827, Redmond, -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/25/2010 -- In a significant move, Harbinger Knowledge Products today announced the addition of a set of HTML5-based interactions to its Raptivity Software. The product now enables users to create and add some of the learning interaction models as HTML5, in addition to Adobe Flash. HTML5 is the next major revision of the HTML standard on the web. It gained much popularity recently when Apple favored it over Adobe Flash for the Safari web browser on its iPhones and iPads.

The immediate impact of supporting HTML5 is that courses with HTML5 interaction models can play on iPhone and iPad devices, but HTML5 is a standard that is fast being supported on all web browsers. HTML5 is already supported on Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers, and a new version of the dominant Internet Explorer browser from Microsoft, slated to come out soon, will also support the technology.

"We see HTML5 as a critical component of the future web, and a great technology for delivering interactive learning content." said Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of the Harbinger Group. "There is an unprecedented proliferation of devices today, and our goal is to enable course creators to create interactive learning content and deliver it to learners using a variety of [these devices]. Both Flash and HTML5 are important and standard mediums for doing that."

Raptivity allows trainers, educators and subject matter experts to create effective learning interactions quickly and easily. It uses Adobe Flash technology for its interactive learning content like quizzes, game shows, and has a list of over 240 interaction models. Like Flash, HTML5 supports many relatively complex interaction abilities, and the company claims that course creators will get a broader reach for their courses with HTML5.

"The new HTML5 pack supports our most popular interaction models. We want to provide our users with a choice of using the most popular and standard mediums for delivery of their courses," said Seema Chaudhary, president of Harbinger Knowledge Products. "We look forward to adding more interactions in HTML5 and growing the product with the emerging standard."

Savvy Web Marketers Influence Interactive Technology Innovation

SiteJazzer is an online software service that enables web marketers and ad agencies to quickly and inexpensively create exciting web elements to jazz up their websites.

"Ever since we launched SiteJazzer and its online community, we have seen a lot of activity inside the product as well as the community. The community provides a great platform for our users to discuss among themselves, yes, but these public forums also enable us to understand the real needs of our users." said Vikas Joshi, chairman and managing director of the Harbinger Group. He cites as an example, SiteJazzer's newly-added support for Apple's Mac OS X operating system and the Safari browser; a direct result of its "users asking for Mac support".

"It's not just the features that are being driven by [the community], but also the language and semantics," Joshi said. "The users are now creating 'jazzers', a word coined by them to describe the web elements they create using SiteJazzer. They have truly not seen anything like this before." When one of them asked about how Jazzers can be added to their Facebook page, Harbinger led by example, adding a Jazzer into their web page and sharing the steps with the community.

Other feature enhancements that the company claims are a direct result of community feedback include the availability of horizontal and vertical banners in different sizes to suit different website layouts, ability to share Jazzers with colleagues and clients right from the publish window, and even a 'blank template' feature that enables one to start their jazzer creation over a clean slate.
