A Cloud Guru (Linux Academy) vs Articulate Storyline

• The videos are short and easy to ingest. This is super important! Long videos get boring and people lose interest quickly
• New training videos for new technology are always being added regularly
• In addition to new videos, existing training videos are updated when software or technology changes, ensure that you always have current information while you're learning

• Storyline integrates with the Canvas LMS fairly seamlessly. There have been a few glitches, but for the most part, the interactions we have created will play directly in the Canvas LMS.
• Storyline is great for creating short drag and drop interactions for self-reviews or even graded assignments. Its many options for quizzes such as "answer reveal" or using tabs help the student get a different perspective on the content rather than just an "A, B, or C" answer.
• Storyline is great for tutorials or training sessions. There are many options to help guide the learner (or employee) through a process. it is not just linear, but you can branch the slides based on the answers. A great way to engage the learner or employee.

• The merger with A Cloud Guru has confused things a bit. They're slowly replacing the Linux academy branded training with ACG training (which is fine) but if we found ourselves losing access to training videos while we were in the midst of watching them
• A more robust community would be nice. There's the Slack channel, but I wish there was more robust community features
• It would be nice to be able to download videos locally on desktops and laptops. This helps greatly with rewinding the video to reiterate key learning points

• I wish that you could customize the UI ribbons to bring features you use frequently to the front and to hide options you rarely use.
• It would be great if there was a way for non-technical collaborators (SMEs, management, etc) to be able to open a *.story file directly and provide comments. You currently have to publish the course, load it to the LMS, update the LMS, and then hope that users can find it in the LMS. A Storyline Viewer/Previewer standalone application would be awesome.
• The price is too high for freelancers to purchase and use. I no longer contract and work exclusively for the firm, but even with our resources, the high price limits the number of licenses available to use.

• Allows for on-demand training that is accessible to anyone in the organization instantaneously.
• Heavily reduces travel expenses by eliminating the need for in-person training classes.
• Gives my department creative liberties in designing content that can be customized to each and every subject/business group in the organization. No two courses are ever the same.
