Need to know...•iSpring needs to be installed on your machine.

•Free (limited), Trial (30 days watermarked) and Paid versions are available.

•Good tutorials, help and forums on the website.

•Simple to get started, but creating something complex rapidly increases time / learning curve.

•iSpring sits outside of your VLE – but you can upload the resulting files – work out how to do this before creating a massive project!

•Quiz questions can be exported and imported between quizzes and presentations – you can even use Excel to do this – very handy.

•Tracking – via VLE – this *might* be complex
