I think your perceptions are correct. Mostly what we’ve seen is a way to turn a powerpoint show into a lesson. It might be fast to produce but I’m not sure there’s any “learning” involved.

In past jobs as an instructional designer I’ve been able to take material developed by SMEs and, using Rapid-e-learning tools such as the Articulate suite, all I had to do was to make this content “pedagogical”, add evaluation tools and publish it. No need of a third person to make it “deliverable”.
This is where, in my mind, the “Rapid” is.

Creating compelling learning experiences requires more time and money than throwing together a Powerpoint and a quiz.
