Customers have found value in its comprehensive suite, utilizing various tools like Studio, Replay, Storyline, Rise, Peek, and Preso for e-learning development. The software has been widely adopted across different sectors ranging from K-12 education school districts to large customer service organizations. It is used for a multitude of purposes such as ongoing training, onboarding and development of internal corporate employees, and creating SCORM learning modules on compliance, leadership training, product knowledge, and soft skills.

Instructional designers recommend Articulate 360 for its speed and ease of use, particularly with tools like Rise and Review. The ability to efficiently gather feedback within courses is also a standout feature that allows learners to make comments directly within the course and track them at the slide and layer level. Additionally, the software's integration capabilities make it easy to package webinars into on-demand formats and implement components onto websites. Users appreciate Articulate 360's mobile device support, collaboration through Review, and the extensive Content Library available for creating well-designed e-learning solutions.

I use Articulate 360 to design scientific training courses our customers use in Biotechnology. Our customers use an Online Academy to get trained on our products. Articulate 360 has a suite of software for creating interactive courses. I mostly use RISE and Storyline which are software within the Articulate 360 products.

I use Articulate 360 to build safety training lessons in Storyline and Rise. I love the programs and think they are very intuitive. My only complaint is it crashes a lot. I realize it's partly a compatibility/memory issue with my computer, but I don't have that issue with other training sites. I've opened a ticket and was given troubleshooting, but it didn't work....

We primarily are using Articulate 360 to develop and create online/self-paced courses for our membership base for a variety of classes. This has allowed us to significantly upgrade and refine the user's learning experience, both on a cosmetic level and an interactive level. The tools and options at our disposal with Articulate 360 specifically have greatly expanded our ability to enhance our online offerings and have made the learning experience much more dynamic and involved. Students are no longer simply scrolling through PowerPoint slides and are more immersed in the information they are reviewing.

We use Articulate 360 to create in house training courses to be uploaded to our LMS. Some problems we face are not being fully knowledgable on how to use the product as well as not being able to speak to anyone directly. Note: communication is only provided via email I've found.

We have two major use cases: we have a large MX (customer service) organization that needs ongoing training around SLAs, changes to product, supply, chain, constraints, and all sorts of ways to help our customers when they call in or email. Some of these trainings are part of a certification program, and other ones are just in time trainings. we also have do use case for our internal corporate employees for their on-boarding and ongoing learning and development.

We are a K-12 education school district. As members of the instructional technology department, my team and I are responsible for the design, administration, and support of a variety of training materials for our district's teachers, staff, and administrators as part of our responsibilities. Learning opportunities range from mandatory state and federal training initiatives to professional development. From in-person training offered at our training center, to presentations administered over Teams, our team supports a wide variety of learning including the development of self paced courses.

I use Articulate 360 to develop SCORM learning modules on compliance, leadership training, product knowledge, and soft skills as needed for my company. I primarily use Articulate Rise, as well as the Review feature to have Subject Matter Experts (SME's) perform content reviews. I've also started sharing content access with another learning designer so we can edit each others work as needed.

This platform is used to create meaningful learning modules for our enterprise and for our clients. Being able to use a platform that allows the end-user to be more interactive with what they are learning has been a great experience. The polished and professional look of the modules continually impresses our staff and our clients.

Articulate 360 is the key product used for creating our WBT training for the company. Not only is it extremely user friendly, it works extremely well with SumTotal LMS. This was the most important factor for using Articulate 360 as previous training material did not work well with the LMS.

Articulate 360 is used in our organization to meet the business problem of lack of availability of our leaders and core staff members to complete learning. Additionally to help improve the learning culture amongst core staff and leaders. There is a specific need to support leaders, new hires, and role specific training.

We use Articulate 360 to make all of our internal training courses. Our industry has 2 points of learning. On hand training and online. With so many various topics and operational tasks the Articulate 360 software allows us to make content for online training fast and great looking. It is also nice that you have multiple ways to publish your course. We have a learning management system that allows a SCORM file upload. Makes it fast and easy to build the course into our current LMS.

We have purchased this software to use for our e-learning modules. We create specific courses and do not outsource any of our e-learning.
This software allows us to create engaging and interactive courses that even our employees that are computer challenged can take and succeed using.

We use Articulate 360 pretty much every day at 4pt. It enables us to deliver well-designed eLearning solutions to our customers. For complex interactions we use Storyline, where we can really flex our creativity and build engaging learning interactions. When the content is more simple, or where budget is more of a consideration, we use Rise. Rise allows us to turn around projects more quickly.

My company is currently using Articulate 360 as our primary tool for all of your eLearning development. We use Storyline 360 for or large courses, Rise for quick builds and Review to allow our clients to review all of our courses. There is not a better tool on the market for this.

We have an LMS and use Articulate to create our own content. Mine is a company that has its own products (Electronic Health Records and Medical Practice Management Applications) and we do a lot of "how to" videos. Articulate makes it easy to create good looking, professional content for all of our products. I have done and re-done at least one of our libraries of content and do not know how it could have been done in the time I did it without Articulate.

Articulate is being used within our customer success team to create training modules and quizzes for our customers after their deployment. This helps their staff review and learn our product.

This helps us to provide added value during the on-boarding process and also to track who is completing training very easily within our partner companies. They can host in their LMS or we also self-host if needed.

Articulate 360 is our primary method of creating online learning content. It is used by learning and system specialists with the Human Resources department.

The solution it has solved for us is to be able to create online learning content compatible with Learning Management Systems, both rapidly with Rise 360 and more sophisticated with Storyline 360.

Articulate 360 studio plays a critical role in our organization. We utilize the tool in many ways. Mainly in packaging webinars into an on-demand format so our customers and potential customers can gain knowledge on our various products and services through our LMS. We also generate custom eLearning tools as well. The Articulate studio comes with other handy tools which allow us to implement certain components onto our website.

These webinars and eLearning tools are compliant with popular eLearning formats such as SCORM and AICC. We can track the user's progress and provide reporting based on quizzes and answer fields. Users can gain continual education credits and print certificates.

We purchased Articulate 360 to use in our Learning & Development department as well as within individual contracts, for more tailored training development. This platform has helped us convert standard "paper" policies and procedures into interactive LMS training sessions. The LMS export is easily uploaded to our employee database platform for en masse enrollments and tracking of completions.
