MindTickle's New Course Authoring Feature Enables Organizations to Create Remarkable Learning Experiences

San Francisco, CA, October 31, 2013 --(PR.com)-- Most organizations these days have a plethora of tools to create training content in the form of videos, presentations, Brainshark videos and Flash or HTML5 based e-learning. The missing piece is an intuitive platform that can transform content into an engaging learning experience.

This is where MindTickle’s course authoring feature stands out. “MindTickle empowers organizations to create, deliver and track engaging learning experiences without any assistance from programmers and IT specialists,” says Deepak Diwakar, Chief Technology Officer of MindTickle.

Traditional LMSs and training software fail to engage the new millennial workforce because they do not have the richness and innovativeness of the next generation of web applications. “For the online learning experience to be engaging and effective, the course authoring software should empower instructors to easily design experiences that learners love,” remarks Nishant Mungali, Chief Products Officer of MindTickle.

"The Groupon team is super happy with the new MindTickle platform, and thoroughly enjoys working on it. This intuitive platform helps me build an interactive web based learning program and allows me to take the engagement level of the learners to the next level," said Shivani Kapoor, HR Leader, Groupon Asia.

MindTickle’s unique ability to organize content into ‘fun to navigate’ themes, create highly interactive quizzes, use gamified and social learning features and in-depth analytics makes it possible for organizations to engage their millennial audience and track training ROI. "After the initial demo, we were convinced. It was a no-brainer decision," said Collin Lane, District Technology Training Lead, Des Moines Public Schools.
