Articulate Storyline vs Edmodo

• Simplicity and functionality- the tool is powerful, but the differentiator for the product isn't the power itself, but the fact that users come up to speed and get so productive in the tool in a short time. The learning curve is very low.
• Superb support- All software will encounter a problem at some point, so support is key. Articulate support is second-to-none.
• Community- beyond support is a large community that offers templates and tutorials that enhance your experience with the tool.

• Running posts dialogue: Helps students answer each other's questions. Helps the teacher see where the mis-understanding happened in instruction.
• Quiz feature: Creating and immediately graded feedback is helpful for the teacher in time management and provides students with instantaneous information.
• Interface is really user friendly. Very similar to Facebook and many of our younger middle school students weren't age appropriate for a Facebook account yet.

• I'd like to see a more centralized storage solution for states and layers-- logic that can be ready by all states in certain situations. Right now, all of this information is held on the slide level.
• The timeline can be a bit finicky at times, although this seems to be improved with each update.
• Zoom regions are only available on the base layer of a slide, and must be ended prior to the slide's conclusion or learners are stuck with a zoomed view for the rest of the course.

• Easier connection for parents. They get lost in the steps of signing up and monitoring.
• A more mature interface would be appropriate if you were trying to market high school aged students.
• It would be interesting to allow principals to add comments and participate by seeing the results of the entire department. For example, is there statistical information on the 6th grade English department's use of the Edmodo license?

• We've seen ROI's of up to 600 for our Learning & Development department since we began using Articulate Storyline.
• We've been able to convert processes into eLearnings in a matter of a couple of days and have created eLearnings with original content in as little as a week and a half.
• The above mentioned improvements have helped minimize the impact on our staff by letting them access courses at their own leisure or at scheduled times.

• One example personnally was the fact that at a site, I was one of few teachers providing lesson plans and had documentation to prove it.
• It allowed me to use very little paper and was great in preparing students to do online assessments, which will be the norm, going forward.
• It really helped me save time and money as it has built in reinforcers, (Badges), that can become costly and only profitable for $0.96 type stores that often result in trash/plastic products.
• I found it excellent that I spent zero monies, while districts pay thousands if not more for systems that only force exams to be input and provide almost the same level of statistical data.
