When my company was looking for software to help us develop eLearning, I knew I wanted something that was easy to use and cost-effective, but I also wanted the ability to be creative and produce engaging courses that were interactive and eye-catching. After reviewing many software options, I recommended Articulate Studio because it met my criteria, and then some. We’ve been Articulate fans ever since!

When I first heard about Storyline, I was really excited! Articulate had been listening to its users and working busily to provide us with a tool that offered many of the features we had been asking for.

Storyline allows us to cut costs by training many associates with one course, without the need for travel or missed time from work. Because the product is so easy to use, we are able to develop training efficiently.

We create e-learning content for the whole company. Storyline help us to deliver onboarding training and management training. We also create our internal software simulations. On the other hand Storyline helps us deliver e-learning quickly and efficiently. We use the software for testing purposes (personality tests only for the user).

We are an eLearning development and consulting firm that produces both client-facing work, as well as products geared toward corporate and healthcare end users. Our company is a content and product creation entity, so everyone who works at Inception Labs has to get familiar with (and proficient at) Storyline and the associated product suite. Everyone on the team has some role in the development process-- whether it is content creation, editing, scripting, or storyboarding, all of our work is done in the Storyline interface when we are developing for eLearning.

For us, one of the biggest business problems that Storyline addresses is in streamlining our workflow. Now, rather than scripting in Microsoft Word, storyboarding in PowerPoint, and developing in Storyline, our team uses the Storyline interface to build rough mockups of what the final products will look like. Using Storyline Template files, we are able to combine everyone's work into one central course.

Versus our previous product experience with Adobe and Lectora products, Articulate Storyline has saved us about 30% of our time, and even more in budget from needing to hire additional developers. We love the product.

We use Articulate's Storyline in the Learning & Development department of our organization. We implement training programs across the entire organization by using eLearning courses created with Storyline. We then either implement the courses on a secure website or our Learning Management System. The eLearnings he us maximize learner time and minimizing cost by letting us roll-out short and effective eLearning courses.

I use Articulate Storyline 2 to develop various methods of learning. I love that it can do whatever I need it to do. I can make learning as simple or as complex as I need it or want it to be. I can do simple click through learning or very complex scenario based learning using variables and custom navigation. As our learning model is shifting to include more and more just in time, scenario based, and other online learning, this gives us a way to build in house content that is quickly and easily editable and a reasonable cost.

Articulate Storyline 2 is being used by myself for the development of a Professional Development Center designed with Loan Originators in mind. By using an in house authoring tool, we are saving time, money and other development costs. We have several Subject Matter Experts in house, so having the ability to take their knowledge and turn it into true online, self-paced eLearning just sweetens the pot.

Storyline is being used more and more by the organization as we develop more and more sophisticated eLearning training. It provides the kind of flexibility that just doesn't exist in competing projects which allows us to create an astonishing variety of projects from a single tool.

Articulate Storyline is being used throughout my company to create engaging and interactive eLearning courses. It solves the problem of dull, boring courses and the problem of costly, hard-to-use, inflexible templates AND the problem of high-cost, low impact custom tools and development. It puts eLearning in the hands and under the control of the designer.

I run a small e-learning business and I use this software almost exclusively to build e-learning for my clients, which include corporates, not-for-profits and the university sector. Many organisations outsource their e-learning development needs and that is what we do at Storyline Developer. We provide bespoke solutions for clients and help them bridge both their capacity and capability gaps. We also offer customised training in using the software to those clients who wish to eventually maintain or develop their own e-learning products.

The killer features for me are the translation capabilities as I have to create content in many languages and Storyline supports [that more] than anyone else on the market and also gives me the tools to fully make my own [content] when working with seldom used languages.

I've got two jobs where I use Articulate Software. Part time I run my own company. I am a e-learning consultant and I train professionals in other companies, from multinationals to e-learning agencies how to use Articulate Storyline. I also develop templates and training materials.
In my full time job I am the Senior e-learning specialist for the Global L&D department for a multinational with approximately 50.000 employees. We use Articulate Storyline thoughout the company to enable L&D professionals and Subject matter experts to design and develop their own online learning materials. We've been doing this for 5 years now and saved the company millions of euros by in-sourcing our e-learning development.

Articulate Storyline is being used by members of my team. We are a small part of the large company but are advocating for it's use in all of the training positions throughout the company. We use SL2 to create eLearning modules for both internal use and for the customers that we consult for.

Articulate Studio is simple to use and provides great, professional-looking e-learning courses! All you need is a background in using MS PowerPoint and Articulate provides the template. It's simple to learn, simple to use and doesn't require a graphics or programming background, which is key to getting things done quickly. Articulate has developed Studio 13 for those users who don't have the time or ability to develop in-depth e-learning but who still want professional results.

While Articulate's Storyline takes e-learning to the next level, Studio 13 is a great product if you're on a budget, in terms of dollars and time!

I use Articulate software on a daily basis, primarily to address client needs in terms of developing high-quality courses with a strong degree of audience engagement and satisfaction. When I'm not developing e-learning projects, I use Articulate in screencast demos and blog posts to help users out with getting to know their software's innate abilities and how they can build upon the features that are available out-of-the-box.
