Articulate Storyline vs Lessonly

• 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.

• Open to feedback and ideas and constantly innovating and iterating on their product to serve new needs that arise
• Making me feel like more than just a customer: They aren't transactional and focus on building the relationship and making me feel heard.
• Extremely easy to use product so building content takes little time, and I can leverage other subject matter experts to build content as well.

• 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.

• Media import (audio, video) are still in infancy. Reliability of uploaded content isn't 100%.
• The Events function lacks some features that are more built out in other platforms.
• Reporting interface has a bit of a learning curve, but overall isn't bad.

• 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.

• We've had an increase in quality overall as a company, as we are able to continually train our employees outside of our New Hire Training program.
• We've seen stronger communication as we are able to send out material to our stylists about products, policies, procedures, etc. and they are able to provide us with feedback. After all, it is their tool for learning and we want to know the best way to provide that information to our Team Members.
