Description: 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.
