The vendor further provides that with their new perpetual version of Storyline, users can deliver mobile and accessible courses with enhanced interactivity, faster.

Articulate Storyline Features

  • Supported: Get started building courses right away, without any training. Storyline is so intuitive to use, even beginners ramp up quickly.
  • Supported: Create engaging interactivity, easily. If you can imagine an interaction, you can easily build it with Storyline. Let learners click, hover over, or drag any object to trigger any action. Build engaging interactions in minutes with buttons, sliders, markers, and hotspots. And create dynamic, personalized interactivity with intuitive variables—no programming required.
  • Supported: Build immersive, engaging learner experiences with video and simulations. Record screen activity, add screencasts from Articulate Replay, and import any type of video. To create software simulations simply record your screen once, then edit whenever and however you want.
  • Supported: Assess learners any way you want. Turn objects on your slide into a decision-making activity–or use 25 different question types to create quizzes quickly. You can test throughout your course to get a clear view of performance, and combine results from multiple quizzes for a final score.
  • Supported: Make it easy for every learner to access your content. Storyline supports right-to-left languages and double-byte character sets and includes Section 508 and WCAG support.
  • Supported: Reach learners on virtually any device with HTML5 and Flash publishing options (Storyline 2) and a fully responsive player (Storyline 360 only).
  • Supported: Publish for learning management systems with Tin Can API 1.0, SCORM, and AICC support.

  • With the SCORM function I am able to track completion and time in the course when published in my LMS.
  • The platform allows for mobile development and you can view your content in those scales.
  • Easy to edit courses make it really great for updating content easily and not letting courses go stale.

  • 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.

  • Making things simpler to create is always a huge plus. It saves time and makes us more efficient as a team, giving us more time to create more courses.
  • For the price, you could do a lot worse. It's definitely not the smallest investment, but if you have the funding to afford it, you'll be glad you have this tool.
  • It saved us a lot of headache with having professors wanting a more hands-on role in creating their courses but not knowing how to use our other programs.

  • We've been able to save time in creating effective courses, and the quizzing feature helps us with courses that need to have assessments for completion (compliance, company policies, etc).
  • A classroom effectively translated to a Storyline course can save many hours (and scheduling headaches) for employee training. Travel is also lessened which makes for more savings.
  • The learning curve isn't too steep, which can save hours training employees how to use the software.

  • We have been able to bring our training development in-house with Articulate Storyline. This has reduced the cost substantially of module development from about $120,000 annually to less than $50,000.
  • It is now possible for the subject matter expert to work directly in Articulate Storyline rather than have to work with a third party and try to explain what needs to be developed as far as content.
  • Articulate Storyline has a bit of a learning curve and not everyone takes to it quickly, so although the training development has been brought in-house, there is now a back-log of work for those who use the software!

  • The cost of outsourcing can be ridiculous, and even if you can afford it, most of your time is then taken up by project management. Storyline in worth its weight in "cyber gold"!
  • I took a three-day class offered by Yukon learning and gain a superb foundation. Taking some sort of formal training will allow you to see huge gains early.
  • I DO NOT like how Storyline 360 is now a subscription-based model. I prefer being able to buy a standalone license like you could with Storyline2.

  • One price for a suite of software and services that offer a wide range of tools to use.
  • Less development and design time = less time on each project
  • Ease of use and low learning curve = less training time spent on the program and more development time spent on our customers

  • Cuts Production Costs: Its flexibility allows me to reduce development costs by eliminating the need to purchase additional software.
  • Increases Productivity/Customer Satisfaction: Their support system (both technical and community) has ensured I have very little downtime if I run into a problem. This allows me to maintain our delivery schedule to clients.
  • Time to Proficiency: With the community samples as well as tutorials provided by Articulate, I felt it was very easy to come up to speed on this product and begin to generate customized deliverables for my clients which translated to increased revenue for both of us.
