The Ministry of Higher Education (MOHE) of Malaysia has named Raptivity as one of the top tools used in creating eLearning content in Higher Education in Malaysia. In a research-based book titled, "e-Learning in Malaysian Higher Education Institutions: Status, Trends, & Challenges", the ministry placed Raptivity amongst the top tools used for e-Learning content development, alongside the likes of Adobe® Flash® and Adobe® Captivate® and others.

The announcement from MOHE comes close on the heels of Raptivity's three awards at LearnX Asia Pacific 2011 Elearning & Training Awards.

"Raptivity has a global appeal due to its intuitive rapid interactivity building method. [After winning the LearnX Asia Pacific 2011 Elearning & Training Awards,] hearing of Raptivity being one of the top tools in Malaysian higher education speaks volumes of Raptivity's presence in the region", said Seema Chaudhary, President of Harbinger Knowledge Products Inc.

The comprehensive study by MOHE was conducted through a survey using online questionnaires. A total of 10,019 respondents filled out the online questionnaires, and included e-Learning administrators, lecturers and students from 30 Malaysian HEIs [Higher Education Institutions].
