Articulate 360Reviews of articulate.com

I have used various e-Learning, video capture, presentation, and resource tools in the past. Those include Captivate, Lectora, Snagit, PowerPoint, and Elearning Brothers, etc. What I found is that I had to go from place to place to accomplish what I needed, often having to memorize several logins and/or buy expensive and hard to use software. Along comes Articulate with Storyline, Replay, Elearning Heroes and now Articulate 360 where I can now access all of their best tools in one place with additional features such as Rise that lets you create intuitive and responsive learning web pages. Articulate even has their own content library for access to high resolution photography of characters to use in my e-Learning creation. My biggest complaint about being a training developer is that I have too many tools to use. Articulate thought of everything because they asked users and created a resource that meets ALL of an instructional designer's needs. That's my biggest vote in favor of Articulate, they ask what designers need and then they deliver - big time. I've never seen a software developer commit so much to serve their customers. That makes Articulate exceptional and that translates to the software and services that they make available to anyone, from a simple web login. I am continually surprised at their attention to detail and commitment to raising the bar on providing tools for developers.

Articulate provides a bit more than most companies when it comes to its products. The products are great for the industry of eLearning, of course, no product is perfect, but they have established a great success in providing products that are quick to pick up and advanced as you get more acclimated. I think some of the interfaces could be lifted for usability purposes and efficiencies when it comes to menu items that are so often nested within menus. Overall Articulate provides great services and products for their customers along with a great community of support and inspiration.

No matter what your question or what time of day or night, the Articulate community is always there to help you! It is nice to know they have your back.

I've been authoring online courses and tutorials for almost 10 years and have a choice about which tools to use. Storyline 2 is my "Go To" and is the sole tool I use. It * is easy to learn * is intuitive * offers a tremendous amount of flexibility * gives me all that I need to produce high-quality, interactive products that have changed our learning landscape. I would highly recommend it!

I have been an Articulate user for the past 5 years and absolutely love both Studio and Storyline 2 and cannot wait to get rolling with 360. One of the many amazing things you get with Articulate purchase is the support with the Articulate Community.

As a former virtual teacher and a current professional development coordinator, I have used multiple learning platforms for instruction. I started using Articulate for professional development and wish I knew it existed (or could get approval for purchase) when creating materials for my virtual classroom. It is so easy to use and understand and worth the price. Since users aren't tracked with licenses, the creator is the only one who needs the software. Once the materials are created and posted, anyone can access your course as often as they need to. The support community provides expert advice and encourages peer sharing. The online support community is still growing but I already am able to find an ample amount of templates and resources I need to build my courses. We are able to fulfill a large portion of our training needs using storyline. I am able to create modules that target specific learning goals. I can create paths that target each of the 9-11 different divisions within our organization. I have learning checkpoints and assessments throughout the modules. I can instruct virtually with this tool. So much flexibility to create whatever you need!

I'm pretty excited about the set of tools in Articulate 360. Some nice new features in Storyline, including the dial interaction. The real star is Rise, though, for a trouble-free responsive solution. The output looks very professional and the basic interactivity options are there. Looking forward to how this tool will evolve and provide even more functionality. I plan to build many job aids with this tool. Also, really like the Articulate Review tool where reviewers/SMEs can comment on Storyline output screen-by-screen, similar to Google doc functionality. Awesome way to keep track of change requests. Not sure I will use Studio, and am hoping that Articulate will offer more of an 'a la carte' approach to their subscriptions. For now, though, am very happy overall and highly recommend to other instructional designers who need to wear the many hats of training/education design and development.

A brilliant eLearning authoring tool that's easy to pick up and use - even if you have limited techy skills. Publishes automatically to SCORM, and is cross-platform ready with loads of built in features meaning you don't need to understand coding, HTML, flash etc to be able to produce great, engaging learning. THe support is amazing with elearningheroes.com and fast response to any queries. It's also well-priced against its competitors
