Articulate 360 vs Schoology

Articulate 360

If you are looking for a suite of tools to support every type of eLearning development that you could imagine, look no further. Articulate 360 supports PowerPoint native course creation in Studio 360, Rapid eLearning Development with robust configuration and interactivity options in Storyline 360, a responsive drag-and-drop creation tool in Rise, and a time-saving godsend of a review tool in Articulate Review. The mere fact that Articulate throws a huge content library on top of that is incredible icing on the cake.

Schoology

Schoology is perfect for the digital classroom environment where all students have access to a device. It is a great tool to get the entire school on the same page. The student calendar helps them be more organized. The Advisee role allows for counselors to provide focused and direct intervention to struggling learners.

One way in which I believe that Schoology is a high leverage educational tool is its ability to communicate with students and families. I love the intuitive design of the user interface, which allows me to provide the families I serve with information that they can quickly access and use to develop student knowledge.
Another feature of this platform that I find valuable is their assessment features. I utilize these assessments regularly. This feature allows me to quickly ascertain where my students are in their level of proficiency and make quick, targeted corrections to student misconceptions.
Another thing that I enjoy about working with this company is their focus on their users. I have attended their annual user conference twice and I have never met people in a system who are so totally dedicated to making their product work for their customers. They are truly focused on each user or systems success with their platform.

Cons

Self-hosting option is not built in so you HAVE TO have an LMS, which is overkill for one-offs.
Cloud based but a desktop app, kind of annoying.
Price is high if you're not making many courses.

I would like to see them continue to develop their assessment platform to provide more meaningful analytics of both group and individual performances.
I like how the community of users have a forum to aide each other. However, on rare occasion the feed is a little overwhelming.
I would like more information about hooking more parents into the platform so that they could interact better with the school and their children.

While we have taken time to re-evaluate our selected 1:1 devices, Schoology's impact on student learning is unquestioned. Students are able to connect with other learners, create and share products of their learning, and develop their digital fluency through their use of Schoology.

It's very easy to use Schoology. As with any LMS, it helps to learn some tips and tricks prior to getting started. But, each item is clearly indicated within the platform. If I want to add materials, it is right at the top of my screen. If I want to view the calendar, it is indicated to the right of my screen. Navigating a course and the platform is quite straightforward. Additionally, the benefit of Schoology's help center and user community makes asking and answering questions quick and easy.

Alternatives Considered

Having worked with Articulate products and its competitors for the past 8 years I have always preferred to use Articulate, Articulate 360 is no different, you don't need to have a huge amount of skill to produce quality outputs, with skill you can produce very impressive courses.
