Articulate is our recommended tool for building eLearning to be hosted on our Corporate LMS. The ease of use is a major plus, but the simple way it embeds into the LMS is a major defining fact in why we advise departments across a 65k+ employee base to use the software. Beginners pick it up very quickly and the more expert users are often asking me how to "push the boundaries" just a little bit more.
- Ease of SCORM publishing
- Fantastic user based community that is well maintained by the staff, who are always on hand to offer advice or solutions
- Scalability and expandability to build eLearning exactly how you want it
- Need to be able to add your own character packs
- Faster load times into our LMS with less testing required

My organization uses Articulate in order to meet two important aspects of the employee training process. Those are: quick effective training that is cost saving. Articulate is perfect for this because eLearning saves money and time in respect to classroom training.
- User friendly even for inexperienced elearning administrators
- Easy to use
- Creates all kinds of published content (applicable for mobile and desktops)
- Content interaction with user
- Able to use all sorts of multimedia
- More animation options
- Better internet explorer compability of published content
- More publishing options
- Better preview options
- Customer service
- Advanced internal applications knowledge
- More information available
- More saved costs
Articulate provides much more possibilities to make your content more fun. It is much easier to use and in the end your learners like the graphic look of it more than MindManager or similar products.

I use Articulate Storyline for training my students in various areas - using the editor they will be using for developing software, explaining basic programming concepts, and others. Another somewhat different and highly interactive course addresses how a teaching assistant or teacher can deal with a case of plagiarism.
- Storyline is highly flexible, regarding its support for layers, the powerful yet easy to use concepts of triggers and helpful interactive elements such as lightbox slides and markers. These make creating interactive and attractive content easy and even fun!
- The use of variables allows for another great deal of freedom in designing a course. Whether you only want to store the user's name and gender, or want to keep track of decisions or score is up to you. Storyline also lets you modify the content of slides based on the values of the variables, so you do not have to duplicate content but can simply vary it (hiding, showing, or modifying content) based on the value of some variable(s).
- The integrated photographic character (more can be bought) and the sketched characters are highly flexible, provided in different poses and facial expressions. Adapting them to look as you want them to is done in a snap - and can, again, be changed based on a variable that tracked what the user has done before.
- The main drawback for me personally is that there is no Mac OS X version of Storyline, forcing me to start up a VM (which slows down the computer) whenever I work on my content. I understand that developing a Mac version would be a lot of work - but having one would make my life that much easier.
- It is easier to engage students in a "show me" video with Storyline, as this can easily be spread out over multiple steps, or converted into "let me do it myself" interactive "video" - with nearly no effort.
I have also examined Adobe Captivate. Storyline has won easily for me for the following reasons:
- ease of use
- flexibility (variables, adaptable characters)
- support for internationalization
Also, since I am not normally a user of Adobe software such as PhotoShop, it was far easier to become familiar with Storyline - which is loosely based on PowerPoint UI-wise - than Captivate, which seems to be more patterned after PhotoShop and other Adobe products I am not really familiar with.

If the users master PowerPoint, they can work with Storyline. However, to teach users how to achieve goals with Storyline and think outside the (narrow and restricting) box of "what I can do in Powerpoint", a more hands-on assistance is required. This means outlining features, hinting (often) towards the great online documentation, and giving ideas on what can be done.

- Prior Experience with the Product
Storyline is easy and even fun to use, making the challenge of creating useful e-learning content a task to be (mostly) enjoyed, not a labour that "needs to be done, even if there is little fun in it". The high flexibility also makes you want to experiment with additional features to improve your course.
