ActivePresenter is an 3-in-one screen recorder, video editor, and eLearning software. This tool makes it possible to create video tutorials, as well as eLearning content in HTML. Users can also import a PowerPoint presentation into ActivePresenter and then edit it, together with including different types of activities in their eLearning materials such as quizzes or fill-in-blank questions. ActivePresented offers a limited free version. It was developed by Atomi Systems. Evaluation: ActivePresenter is an interactive tool with which users can create online content from scratch. It contains a wide range of features, which render the programme fully customisable. This makes the creation of video tutorials or eLearning content flexible and individual. The free version includes all the features and does not have a time limit, although it generates “watermarks” when exporting a video into other formats. It requires average IT skills and time to get familiarised with the tool.
