Articulate Storyline 2 is being used for development of compliance tutorials directed to front line staff. The application is very easy to use and I have been able to quickly get my team up to speed in eLearning development. We also use the tool as a base for our self-help tool for our members.

In my company Articulate is being used only by me. Most of e-learning courses are bought from external companies and the team is responsible for managing this process. But there is a group of subjects and situations where Articulate Storyline is irreplaceable: software courses, quick actions, quizzes and presentations. Of course, this is very powerful tool, but I have no time to develop all courses myself. However, I noticed that more and more e-learning developers sell courses prepared in Articulate Storyline. At this moment about 30% of our purchased courses comes from Articulate Storyline.

We use Storyline 2 in the People Services department to deliver most of our e-learning courses. It allows us to quickly and easily create courses based on our HR systems and processes. The ability to sit alongside a subject matter expert and record the screens they use is not only a huge advantage; it streamlines the process [thus] removing the need to go back and check if the process is correct.

Articulate Storyline has been used in my organization since 2008. This software allows users to build rapid elearnings in a very reliable way. A lot of companies face the problem that a subject matter expert should deliver content for a larger audience. The SME not have the time capacity to work in a complicated application. The SME needs to create courses with a intuitive tool.

Our entire organization is currently using Articulate Online to access training materials. We were having trouble getting training to all employees since a good portion of them travel on a regular basis, Articulate has helped solve that problem. With Studio '13 I am able to make interactive training and upload it to Articulate Online for it to be accessed anywhere, anytime.

We are using Storyline 2 to produce online training for school district personnel. We use audio and video samples to train personnel how to administer and score student exams. We also use it to create quizzes that the district personnel can use to assure they have calibrated to scoring the student exams.

We use Storyline 2 to create compelling e-learning materials for language learners, especially to recreate the look and feel of major language proficiency tests taken by non-native speakers for university matriculation and immigration purposes.

I know Articulate is being used by numerous groups in our organization, but I can only speak on behalf of my current department. We use Storyline 2 and Studio '13 to develop CBTs for our customers (internal). Building CBTs with Storyline allows us to reach a large number of our contingent workers and train them quickly. We are able to reduce some of the time spent on instructor led classes.

Articulate is used to create and convert existing training material to web based training. It is being used in select departments, not sure of it's overall reach. All the designers/developers on my team have access to it. It address a number of issues, for example consistency in training, as well as financial savings that goes along with the conversion to eLearning.

Articulate Storyline is used to create elearning for audiences internal and external to my company on financial investment products. After the implementation of my new LMS is complete, the elearning courses will be utilized by the entire organization of 160+ individuals within various departments. The business problem is addressed through the ability to offer more interactive training than is available currently through other means.

Articulate is currently being used within our organization to provide remote eLearning solutions to all staff. It is currently used within our department only but we have an audience of 300+. It solves the business problem of trying to reach our audience. The majority of our staff are field based across a number of regions. It is difficult, time wise, to pull them from their jobs for training due to time and geographical constraints. Being able to develop engaging, refreshing and interactive eLearning modules is so beneficial to us.

The Learning and Development Department used Articulate Storyline to provide training to all of the organization. We used Articulate to create e-learning courses and learning games. It is the one of the best solutions to handle the transfer of knowledge and skills as an eLearning tool and to create fun learning content and engage learners.

As an outsource agency we have been using Storyline from the day it was released for creating elearning modules for a variety of corporate and government clients. It freed us from the constrictions of most authoring tools to customise interactions to suit our clients and their learners. We can do interactions which developers used to be needed for, rapidly and at low cost. Its also reliable, and if there are problems Articulate is mostly brilliant at addressing them.

We use Articulate to develop elearning modules to assign to our staff. We started out only using this software in Learning & Development, but now have encouraged other departments to use this software to develop their training. By using this software to develop our organizational training, it is helping us meeting regulatory requirements as well as meeting the criteria for certifications.

My challenge over the last year has been to find the perfect authoring tool for our team. It had to be easy to use so that new employees at entry level positions could pick it up; our courses had to be fully customisable and above all it had to be able to create engaging and interactive eLearning. Storyline for us ticks all those boxes and more, I really do think it's the best authoring tool on the market.

I am a freelancer that uses Articulate Storyline 2 to prototype and develop online training, or eLearning modules, for clients. As I am a sole proprietor, it is most definitely used across the whole organization. Storyline 2 allows me to efficiently develop effective interactive training that is attractive and can be tracked in a learning management system. Due to the efficiency, I can also quickly prototype, load it to a server, and share it with stakeholders to get feedback before dumping a lot of time into it.
