Now, with iSpring Free, you can <strong>create quizzes<\/strong> too! Plus, the new release introduces a cleaner, simpler interface which helps you do your tasks faster.<\/p>\n<p>You can go and <a href=\"\/ispring-free\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">download the latest version<\/a> right now, or read on for the nitty-gritty details of how to build quizzes in iSpring Free.<\/p>\n<p>By happenstance, this month marks the eleventh anniversary of iSpring Free. On May 11, 2008, we released the free Flash authoring tool to help everyone create web-ready presentations in PowerPoint. Yes, it published only to Flash back then. After three years, we added the option to <a href=\"\/blog\/how-to-create-and-play-scorm-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">create SCORM courses<\/a>. And when it became clear that the era of Adobe Flash had passed, the <strong>PPT to HTML5 version<\/strong> of iSpring Free appeared.<\/p>\n<p>And after all these years, we still believe the same thing: you don\u2019t have to have a big budget to launch eLearning. Actually, you don\u2019t need a budget at all to teach your learners online.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Loved-by-millions\">Loved by millions<\/h2>\n<p>iSpring has come to win the hearts of millions of educators and course creators all over the world. It\u2019s little wonder \u2013 for absolutely free, you can create interactive eLearning courses on par with some paid tools. Here\u2019s a clue: iSpring Free has the best-in-the-industry PPT-to-HTML5 conversion engine, the same one <a href=\"\/ispring-suite\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the iSpring pro tools<\/a> use. It ensures unrivaled accuracy of conversion so that all animations, transition effects, triggers, and links are kept intact.<\/p>\n<div class=\"phrase\">\n<p><strong>It worked straight out of the box<\/strong> and faithfully converted the source PowerPoint to its HTML5 counterpart \u2013 all with a single click.<\/p>\n<p>My current conversion involves a presentation with more than 200 slides, heavily interlinked, with links also to external documents (Excel, PDF, Word, etc.). A single click and it worked!<\/p>\n<div class=\"phrase_author_wrapper\">\n<p class=\"phrase_author\">Colin Brown<\/p>\n<p class=\"phrase_author_post\">Review from <a href=\"https:\/\/alternativeto.net\/software\/ispring-pro\/reviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">AlternativeTo<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>iSpring Free is extraordinarily easy to use. You simply create slides in PowerPoint and click on Publish. If you opt to <strong>publish your presentation as a SCORM course<\/strong>, you can upload the .zip file to an <a href=\"\/blog\/what-is-lms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">LMS<\/a> and track how your learners progress.<\/p>\n<p>Courses created with iSpring Free instantly adapt to every screen and play beautifully on tablets, smartphones, and laptops. The result is true learning on the go for your users, as they have reliable 24\/7 access to your content from their devices of choice.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Quizzes-are-here!\">Quizzes are here!<\/h2>\n<p>With the new iSpring Free, you can add a new dimension to your courses and easily assess your learners online.
