>> 3. Rapid authoring tool road test: Engage

In our experience, there are some key e-learning interactions you want to produce time and time again. These include FAQs, Glossaries, Timelines etc which usually entail some bespoke development. Wouldn’t it be great if you could create these simply and quickly with a rapid authoring tool? That’s Articulate thought too. Their new tool Engage allows you to do just that. We give our verdict:
