Epiplex 500 is an amazing tool

Just learned how to use the tool Epiplex 500.

It’s an amazing e-learning tool. We can do so much with it.

Generally, for creating a training for system application, we create simulation based training. Earlier I used Adobe Captivate4 as the authoring tool for this. But for the last project, we were facing some challenges. So, we opted for Epliplex 500. There may be another explanation to the situation that since I am not well aware of the pros and cons of what Adobe Captivate4 can do, we switched to this tool.

Anyway, the point is that I came to learn Epliplex 500 from a very senior colleague of mine who took care to teach me even the inner functionalities of the tool. Big thanks to him!

With Epiplex500 we can create one entire e-learning course including guided simulation and practice simulation for the course. We can also choose a template and have the logo we want at the top. Even more, we can go to every slide, open it in any image editor and edit it! Even more, it creates two sets of images so that we have the original image set always untouched for future requirement.

Another interesting thing about the tool is that we can generate the output in Flash, HTML, Word document, PowerPoint presentation, PDF document, and more.

So once you have captured one simulation, you can either create a WBT with Flash and HTML files or create one ILT with PowerPoint presentation and documentation in MS WORD.

Actually Epiplex500 is a training and process improvement tool. The e-learning output that it generates is just a part of the mammoth it offers. I am still to gauge the mammoth from its trunk to tail. For now, I am happy with the functionalities that I have learnt.
