Articulate Storyline Features

  • Supported: Create engaging interactivity, easily. If you can imagine an interaction, you can easily build it with Storyline.

You can test throughout your course to get a clear view of performance, and combine results from multiple quizzes for a final score.

For most of my instructional design needs, I use Storyline and the Articulate 360 suite. For our Training and Development team, Storyline is used as a rapid development tool to create online learning courses and training videos to be hosted on our LMS. It allows for quick turnaround time and is an easy design platform.

Articulate Storyline is used as a training development tool to create electronic training modules. It is generally used across the board in our organization. It provides a rich set of interactive learning tools that are easier to implement than other learning programs such as Adobe Captivate. It provides tools to affordably enhance our training programs.

My department under HR exclusively uses Articulate 360 to create web-based training courses. The courses that we create pertain to all different subjects including professional development, product knowledge, showroom, residential/commercial trade, facilities supply, operations, sales, systems, etc. All employees across the organization have access to these training courses.

Use of Articulate Storyline addresses the problems we often face with the expense of sending trainers to conduct a training class in person. Using web-based content is efficient in saving time and money so that the knowledge applied can be more hands-on and convenient.

Articulate Storyline is a really great, user-friendly way to make interactive online educational content. We have a lot of professors who are not tech savvy and having something that they can use to help create their online courses without feeling overwhelmed is a tremendous asset. While we do most of the course construction, many professors want to contribute as well.

We use Storyline for internal training courses, both soft skill and product training. It addresses all kinds of topics, from compliance to promotions to product walkthroughs and best practices. Our team uses it for the employees, and another training team uses it for New Hire programs. We haven't used it for any external audiences at this time.

Articulate Storyline is being used here in both the Business Development Unit and People and Organisational Resources. It is a valuable resource to educate often time poor legal professionals in core systems and skills required in their profession. Using the HTML features means that they can learn on the go, and the usual "dead" time waiting at court can now be a time to learn new skills.

Articulate Storyline is used to create a series of technical training modules for our business. It allows us to provide an asynchronous self-paced training program with minimal use of a live instructor and therefore maximize efficiency and use of resources. Currently it is used across the whole organization with customized module content depending on the department.

In my organization, I am the sole instructional designer for a workforce of 10K+ employees. I use Storyline2 and 360 to create engaging pieces of content from training, to interactive employee handbooks, to mandatory compliance assessments and reviews.

These programs allow me to convert boring PDFs, videos, and multiple choice quizzes into genuine learning experiences, which help with overall effectiveness and retention. Plus, since we have the luxury of gamifying our content, our employees don't view training as a punitive activity anymore.

All members of our instructional design team utilize Articulate Storyline to build courses and assessments. We have built a variety of corporate, clinical, and IT courses in SL2 including attestations, pre and post assessments for ILT programs, scenario-based and choose your own adventure courses, PowerPoint conversions, and compliance programs. Storyline allows our development team to produce fast, high quality courses that meet our ever changing and growing needs of the business. We chose Storyline over other rapid-authoring tools because of its user-friendliness, community support, training opportunities, and access to free templates and resources.

The training development team uses Articulate Storyline to create compliance and process training. It was easy for the staff to learn and get used to for those who have never used it before. We have created templates to keep our trainings looking the same and we love the tool.

Articulate Storyline is without a doubt the most robust yet easy to use tool in the e-Learning authoring tools market. We chose Articulate Storyline because of the tools' robust power, the backing of the award-winning community of experts, and ease of use. Our customers use Articulate Storyline because the interfaces seem familiar and straightforward...all the tools offer designers and developers everything they could ever need...all in one place.

Creating e-Learning has never been so easy with Articulate Storyline!

I use Storyline for all of our online softskills courses (within Human Resources). Our Education Services team also uses Storyline for many of their consumer products. Storyline assists me with a more rapid, fluid development cycle (vs. Captivate) and allows me to move quickly through the ID process as well as any changes that result from drafts/reviews.

As an organization we are moving to Articulate 360 as our full eLearning development suite. We have used Articulate Storyline as our rapid prototyping instructional design tool in the past but with the additional options now being offered with the 360 suite we are moving towards using it exclusively for our eLearning development needs. Full course development, short bite-sized learning nuggets, and for just in time job-aid development, and now responsive design and real time review of projects are tools we will be working with to better serve our customers.

I have been using Storyline since version 1. With the advent of the subscription-based Articulate 360, I have an all in one solution to all my training needs. I use the suite of tools to develop all kinds of training, testing, and demonstrations. This is used across my facility and I have shared many of my developed courses with other affiliated facilities.

We use Storyline to create trainings for staff to complete online, usually from home. It allows us to get our content to our staff who all work at different times and locations without having to adjust their schedules.

I've been using Articulate Storyline as the primary element on nearly all of the projects I work on. Its flexibility to customize interactions allows me to use it in designing/delivering soft skills training as well as healthcare and technical-related projects. Although I use other tools, having a single tool that can deliver at so many levels helps increase my proficiency with the tool which reduces the overall time to design and deliver quality products.

I use Storyline to create e-Learning courses for staff training purposes as well as for licenses renewal requirements for massage therapists. Storyline is the main software I use to create these courses, and I have found it to be an invaluable tool for this department. We needed software that created professional e-Learning courses that was also easy to use, and Storyline met that need.

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.

My department is responsible for providing training to our clients on the use of our software products. Over the past 5 years, I have continued to develop more and more of our e-Learning On Demand programs and our clients have both embraced this technology and keep requesting more topics. Last year, we hit an all-time high by processing over 3,000 registrations for our programs. By using Articulate, we have taken our training to a whole new level of professionalism and easy access by also utilizing Articulate Online to host all of our programs. Our senior management team is extremely pleased with the positive comments we have received from our clients and going in this direction has definitely been the right decision. I am now seriously considering the expansion of our library for e-Learning On Demand programs so that our customers can fulfill their training needs anytime, anywhere. Thanks you for such a great product and for the strong community of users.
