Articulate 360 vs. CourseArc

Great for creating eLearning games and online puzzle games (like an escape room). Not great for traditional video games - stick to puzzle-type interactions. The various interaction types open the door for the creation of fun and engaging games (again - eLearning).

CourseArc allows nearly anyone the ability to build attractive, accessible, interactive products. The platform is easy to use, has some great features and allows access to courses a variety of ways, via LTI with an LMS, open public courses, or packaged into SCORMs for access via non-LTI functional LMSs or via a webpage. CourseArc does need to enhance their image library. Because their library is very limited, users do have to upload their images the majority of the time.

• Unrivaled Power and Customization. After 15 years in the training industry, Storyline 360 remains my favorite tool because it is, simply put, the most powerful authoring tool I have ever used, giving me complete creative control.
• Advanced Interactivity. I love being able to 'overengineer' content using Triggers, Variables, States, and Layers, which allows me to build the most sophisticated and deep functionality.
• Superior to Basic Tools. Storyline's capability to build detailed branching scenarios and realistic simulations sets it leaps and bounds apart from basic tools like PowerPoint, which is essential for high-impact training.

• 508-compliant natively
• Amazing customer service
• Minimal technical issues or downtime
• LTI functionality so courses are LMS agnostic
• Consistently implement updates and enhancements to the system

• I would like to see features like video creating software within the tool.
• Triggers could be made easier for new users. This may be solved with AI (i.e., tell AI what you want, and AI will create the trigger for you).

• Easier access to course settings would be helpful
• The included image library is the least impressive part of the system. You will need to upload nearly all images.
• Some jumping on the page after saving

I haven't seen any other platform for developing learning materials that is as comprehensive or as reliable as Articulate has proven to be for our use. Because our group has a number of PowerPoint power users, the PowerPoint integration with Articulate is particularly beneficial.

Overall, the usability and feature set of Articulate 360 is best of class. The interface is user friendly despite the incredible depth of creative tools available. Onboard help is always available, as well as a huge catalog of educational resources for using both Rise and Storyline. Two screens always helps for creating projects with many elements due to the real estate required for the timeline.

I love how when there is any downtime that the user can still access the tool

Pages load fast, the videos play normally, and I haven't seen any delays in the system

I rate the overall support for Articulate 360 ​​with a 9. On the one hand because of the smooth and accurate support from Articulate's support team (usually within 24 hours) and on the other because of the commitment / use of a community (e-learning Heroes) where I have all kinds of insights from other helpful users.

The instructors don't know how to use it.

The online training options given by the online tutorials, forums, and "E-Learning Heroes" community are simply awesome. Examples galore, easy to understand descriptions including step-by-step guides, images, occasionally videos, and the "Articulate Insiders" sub-community give you more materials to learn about Storyline than you are likely to be able to read.

Outside of having to dedicate a powerful enough PC for the installation and having to update Flash in our browsers there really isn't much pain involved in using Articulate. For the most part this is an easy to implement and roll-out product. The installation occurs quickly and smoothly with no additional steps needed.

Articulate 360 is very easy to use and can create a variety of different media and interactive activities - more than Camtasia. Camtasia is very video centered. Articulate 360 can use video but it can also use still photos, audio, interactive content, and allows users to go through courses in different, non-linear ways.

The learning curve is much easier and I don’t have to worry as much about the 508 compliance quality of our outputs. Knowing that most components are natively compliant frees my mind from worry and my time from checking our products with a fine tooth comb. I can now perform spot checks and remain confident that we are ‘legal’.
