PowerPoint on Steroids!
Being a non-techie and in the early stages of adding rapid elearning to my face-to-face instructional skills I was attracted to Articulate Studio, Engage and Quizmaker because of their relative similarity to, and integration with, PowerPoint. Then came Storyline and I decided that this was my go to tool. I like the flexibility and usefulness of variables and triggers to engage the learner with interactivity and the ease with which amendment is possible. Most importantly I love the ability to confirm learner improvement with the use of tests, quizzes and checks that are only limited by my imagination and which may not appear to be collecting results to the learner. I would like to see improvement to the printing of triggers and variables because this is difficult to do on the screen. There are work arounds but since this is where the magic happens and it would improve workflow. But Storyline is only the tool. What really keeps me with it is the Community which supports and inspires improving my knowledge of the software and introducing innovative ways to extend its capability. Despite the minor frictions mentioned, I recommen Storyline 2 to everyone who shows an interest (and even those that don't!).
