Articulate 360 vs HealthStream

• Articulate 360 has lots of options: Rise is for simple, HTML-based course content delivery. Storyline is an animation/interactive eLearning designer that is robust yet easy to learn.
• It totally simplifies the review process. When I want to have my boss look at a course I made, I create the Articulate Review link and he can make comments at any point in the course for suggestions/corrections, and the program takes a picture of where he is looking so I know exactly what he is talking about. I can also comment back.
• The content library is high quality and professional. You can search images of people, backgrounds for Storyline projects, or entire project templates that you just plug your content into. It allows you to create content really fast and good looking.

• Storyline is a bit heavy for some computers to handle—both the design side and even the viewer side. Outputs can occasionally be glitchy.
• In Rise I would like to see more customizability, like choosing different fonts and locations of images and things like that. It's very cookie-cutter, which is actually great for newbies because it is difficult to make it look bad.
• It would be cool if Rise had a "page logic" option so you can jump to different pages based on button logic. Pretty pie-in-the-sky.
• The quiz functionality in Rise leaves a lot to be desired, but the quiz function in Storyline is SCORM compliant.

• Very difficult to run any type of report using Healthstream. It would be more beneficial if you could run a report indicating who finished set assignments
• Very difficult to search for classes. If you do not put in exact titles for particular assignment you will not find it.
• Cannot print out any listing of upcoming classes on a certain topic or email a list if requested, the product really falls short
• If an employee is not in Healthstream and you must complete their testing and you must use a "place holder" the product is not very good. If the tester does not go back into the Healthstream record once the individual is registered and enter a learning event then you do not have an accurate transcript.
• Not really user friendly for all managers, if an older manager is not computer literate. then training can be painful and you will find the product is not used.

• I really do not see very good ROI, the product was not used efficiently and it was too difficult to use efficiently.
