Simon Date - Adapt Learning Expert
Hi there, my name is Simon Date. I'm a freelance Adapt Learning Consultant and Developer who's spent the last eight years working with e-learning teams using Adapt.
If you're part of an e-learning team looking to create great looking courses in an effective manner, I truly believe Adapt is the best Authoring Tool on the market, for three main reasons:
- It has responsive design, which doesn't treat mobile devices as an afterthought
- It has more interactions and customisation options than any other tool
- It's open source so it's free to use and you are never locked to a single provider
Picking up a new Authoring Tool can be a difficult transistion - Learning all of the features available to you, training staff on how to be the most effective and ensuring consistency so that content looks natural for the end user. It's a hard task to do without the proper knowledge and understanding.
I created Adapt Freelancer for teams just like yours and I've made it my personal mission to help you succeed with Adapt.
On my journey, I've already helped over thirty five e-learning teams, including many successful e-learning agencies and prestigious organisations such as the Office for National Statistics, Shelter, the Engineering and Construction Industry Training Board and the NHS.
Working with Simon was a great experience. He was able to understand the challenges that our employees may have had migrating to a new authoring tool and was keen to offer his assistance to our team.

Why Adapt?
It's the future
Traditional e-learning Authoring Tools like Storyline and Captivate are being phased out in favour of responsive e-learning content as today's workforce expects modern web design in their e-learning.
Adapt offers itself as the best choice for those who are looking to embrace this new trend.
It's flexible
Adapt supports over 100+ unique interactions meaning that your courses will be engaging for learners.
It has powerful themeing options so you can always keep your learning on brand.
We are looking at implementing this way of building knowledge products with Adapt across our internal and external L&D departments.

Adapt's high level of fidelity and customisation have garnered consistent success. The Learning Technologies Awards, which hands out accolades to the best e-learning content are dominated by courses that are created in Adapt.
It's open source
Alternatives exist on the market but Adapt is the open source option. Only by working with open source tools do you have the ability to ensure your ability to access and modify your courses in the future.
It's also totally free to use!
