COVID-19 and its impact on business and education
This pandemic has made us reconsider all the rules. Distance education is the new preferred way of educating as students now learn from home. Work habits are changing. Hello, you work from home! With so many of us trying to switch to online learning, it is critical to make sure instructors and trainers are armed with the right set of tools to create the same thing.
Online learning: challenges to tackle
We must bear in mind that online training, although it is a very effective way of providing learning remotely, carries its own set of challenges. The greatest of these is student engagement, in the absence of a physically present instructor. This is more relevant, especially in the current health crisis, when students can be very distressed or anxious.
Another important consideration is obtaining the proper length for an eLearning module. It should be long enough to keep students interested but not long enough for students to tire. Short, crisp interactive nuggets can be one of your best bets to engage remote learners and keep them motivated.
Raptivity 2020: the new age tool for interactive learning
Enter Raptivity 2020, a fast interactivity building tool that helps build visually stunning and short learning interactions, without any programming. With these ready-to-go interactions, teachers and coaches can engage any type of remote audience, be they students or staff. Here are some highlights that make it a must-have for creating online learning.
A growing library of visually stunning interactions
Raptivity 2020 is packed with interaction templates you've never seen before in eLearning. The templates are specifically tailored to modern design and learning styles. Vertical and horizontal parallax, 3D image, layered screen, panoramic slides, cheese search, bowling, and happy meter are some of the templates currently included in the tool. Here's a sneak peek at what some of these templates look like. You can search detailed previews on the Raptivity website.

Some of these templates are game-based, while others are interactive presentation aids, the perfect combination for engaging students online. Additionally, Raptivity 2020 comes with the promise of a growing library of interactions every few months.
Quick and easy customization
Raptivity 2020 comes with a fairly intuitive and easy-to-use interface that allows you to quickly customize your interactions. The best part is that using Raptivity does not require any programming or triggers, making it one of the easiest tools to use. You just need to customize the interactions with your content and graphics, and you're ready to go. Reason enough for you to evaluate it considering there is no learning curve!
Receptive interactions
Raptivity 2020 houses mobile-ready interactions that work on a wide variety of devices. These interactions are truly responsive and preconfigured for various devices and designs. This implies that there is no need to manually customize an interaction for individual devices. Raptivity 2020 takes care of this important modern learning and makes learning available anytime, anywhere. Your remote students can take a lesson on their laptop or mobile device, whichever is most convenient for them, and you don't need to create two different versions of the same content. A feature that definitely gets some additional marks.
SCORM and xAPI compliance
Raptivity 2020 comes with SCORM and xAPI tracking capabilities. This feature makes it easy for you to track the completion of the experience and student performance with the click of a button, a very important consideration when your students log in remotely and cannot evaluate them face-to-face.
With such engaging, experimental, and powerful interactions, Raptivity 2020 can be a great addition to your online learning toolkit. It can quickly engage students in times of a pandemic like the one that occurs today, and even in times after the pandemic. Try Raptivity 2020 with its free 14-day trial.

This is a difficult time for all of us. Let us try to navigate with patience, humility, the solutions we have and, of course, social distancing. Keep your students and staff clearly informed of your options. Let them know what is expected of them. Also, let them know you are with them on this and after this. I wish you all good health.
