Raptivity Demo
Go through cards giving amLearn specifics from military. Transition to 3 samples from website, taxation, homicide, quiz. Then show regular samples quickly to give an idea of templates available. Use key phrases like reinforcement, knowledge review, assessments, encourage and increase retention. THEN go into Raptivity, ready to see how you can create an interaction that can be published for viewing on mobile devices? Give brief overview of software, copy script from other webinars, then customize FLASH CARDS. Remember the mobile learning approach in Military example we saw a few minutes ago? Let’s re-create that as much as we can with the time left! PUBLISHING: 1 click publishing allows you to cross publish to multiple devices. PUBLISH to MOBILEThat wraps up the Raptivity demo, have some announcements and information to share with you all.
