Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Articulate 360 to create elearning courses to help teach our employees how to do their jobs, safety information, hr topics, etc. It helps us to easily create and deploy solutions to train our workforce. It also allows us to be more productive in the development of learning solutions

Pros

short learning curve which helps me quickly teach others to use
different products for different types of learning
great learning community that helps with ideas and solutions
always looking at ways to make the product better and more user friendly

Cons

more prebuilt interactions that already utilize variables so I don't have to think about how to create
better image library -- can't always find what I need for my industry (gas and electric utility)
continue adding more realistic voices -- even for those who aren't afforded the ability to purchase the AI assistant

Return on Investment

We have been able to bring development in-house vs. contracting with an outside company which has saved budget money
Articulate 360 has allowed us to speed up development time which has lead to the ability to create more course to meet demand
We have found a variety of other ways to use the Articulate tools to create solutions that may not be seen as traditional learning solutions.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Articulate 360 frequently, almost daily, to create e-learning courses for incumbent and new-hire employees. The biggest problems it addresses are reducing the time spent talking in the room and providing learners with a safe place to fail. It can be incredibly challenging to recreate what Articulate does so well, without the tool. It has enabled me to create well-designed courses that ensure my learners take away exactly what I need.

Pros

Reduce classroom talk time.
Assist with assessments to reduce quality failures.
Give facilitators time back for other work requirements.

Cons

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).

Return on Investment

Reduced talk time in class by 50%.
Reduced failures on a particular topic by 70%.
Overall ease of use for new hires.

We use Articulate 360 to build, review, revise, and publish courses to our restaurant level leaders. We focus on training for various leader levels to prepare them for their roles, help them perform tasks correctly and consistently, and deliver great guest and employee experiences. There’s a lot of collaboration that we use Articulate’s features for.

Pros

Consistency
easy of learning the tool
Makes collaboration easy

Cons

Creativity - more options to deviate from the standardized options and try new things.

Professional (201-500 employees employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I teach this software to students in our digital media program. They use it to create eLearning games and escape rooms. Prior to teaching the software, I used it to create interactive lessons for faculty. Articulate is great for creating end-user-driven content that puts the control of the learning in the end user's hands.

Pros

Ability to create multi-step interactions (i.e., must collect a key to unlock a box to get a note with a code...)
ADA compliance features.
Ease of use.

Cons

Not supported for use on Mac.
High price point making it unrealistic for a lot of would-be users.

Return on Investment

Provides students with tangible skills in a sought-after multimedia authoring program.

Creation of states to make the shots individual.
Allows for creation individuality.
SUPPORT NETWORK.

Cons

Ease of accessibility image tagging. its a tedious task currently and time prohibitive.

More comprehensive courses for better client interaction and understanding.
