Redmond, WA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/07/2010 -- Harbinger Knowledge Products has announced the release of Raptivity’s brand new Active Learning TurboPack. The new pack includes a variety of meaningful interactions to achieve comprehension, application and analysis - three key middle layers of Bloom's taxonomy - in adult learning.

These interactions include Analysis Based Learning, Fact Based Learning, Timeline Activity and many more. With this new TurboPack, the Raptivity library now has over 230 ready learning interactions – unmatched in number and depth.

“The state of the art of interactivity has gone beyond drag and drop exercises and simple games. Learners, particularly adults, need a way to do things and at the same time, think about what they are doing. With this new TurboPack, Raptivity has answered this need through ready scenarios and activities”, said Vikas Joshi, Chairman and Managing Director, Harbinger Group.

A recent article by Vikas Joshi discusses some examples and applications of active learning interactions. The new Raptivity Active Learning TurboPack delivers on that promise.

The Raptivity Active Learning TurboPack includes interactions in two categories: Scenario Based Learning and Activity Based Learning. The Scenario Based Learning activities provide real-time scenarios to the learners and allow them to actively participate by taking certain actions as the scenario proceeds. The Activity Based Learning interactions encourage learners to discover knowledge in a fun way by involving them with the learning content.

“Raptivity recently bagged top slots in ‘Time to Proficiency’ and ‘Ease of Use’ in a global eLearning Survey by eLearning Guild for Rapid eLearning tools. Going with this reputation, Raptivity has maintained the same ease of use for these new complex interactions as well. Existing Raptivity users have an added advantage as they have a zero learning curve. With this new pack, eLearning designers worldwide can very easily take their online training to next level”, affirmed Seema Chaudhary, President, Harbinger Knowledge Products Inc.
