Overall Satisfaction with Articulate 360

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Articulate 360 to build quick templates and e-learning courses for a multitude of learning purposes. I personally develop all training internally with the intention to review and distribute in a timely manner. Currently I use the AI features for voiceovers character, introductions, narrative story work and updated old templates and courses. The AI generation feature has sped up my work time for custom backgrounds, characters artwork and General custom themes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

High volume of prototyping feedback and interaction with members, incorporating them into the development of process.
I really like the use of the AI generation feature. It’s quick as simple and it provides not only detailed options but in case you don’t like those options, you can still save them for a review later.

Cons

I would like to see the template feature updated and fixed it right now. It has one variation of size and I would like to see a multitude of different sizes in mobile platforms, e-learning courses designed for YouTube or any other interactions presentation size things of that nature. Right now it’s limited to that standard format.
I would like to see the morph tool modified slightly more with some animation features like secondary Morse, if you can add or merge different images and put a secondary morph in to where you can make characters walk a little bit or maybe avatars that actually talk.

Return on Investment

Has been at the training process so we can release new content swiftly and introduced. Introduced it to new member.
Storyline has helped build prototypes and wire frames. Provide feedback and allowed many different situations to be viewed for brains. Brainstorming.

Comprehensive Platform

I love the new AI assistant that I feel it has tremendous amount of capability and possibilities to develop a course. I can highlight bullet points in PDF where you can give suggestions and content so that I can produce something that I need in a swift fashion, however, I do think that some of the things that are produced are limited in the capabilities and the design elements that increase awareness. This is something that can be tweaked or worked with with an experienced designer, and I'd like the direction of its going.

Integrated AI

The high-quality generated images are why it appeals to me the most. I don't have to spend hours or countless hours searching through stock content that doesn't actually fit what I want or developing an animation style. This is something that appeals to me and I can target my audience and get their attention.

Usability

As I stated before, the usability is somewhat SST learning her for a new introduction of different designers, and because of the constant changes, it often feels like there are things that are hidden or hard to find when you're in the workflow.

Alternatives Considered

Canva and Microsoft Powerpoint

Articulate 360 has a very high skill cap, but it has the ability to develop a lot more and give you grading or results feedback when it comes to demonstrating and distributing out different information. The creative design behind it allows for a classroom to be virtual in your hand or somewhere on the go or even designing it for other people to use. This is the thing that I like most about the other product, such as the camp PowerPoint, which doesn't have accessibility.

Likelihood to Recommend

It's my personal belief that Articulate 360 Storyline is a great tool. It has a multifunction and a mini face it to it however, I think that the learning curve is a little steep for introduction to learners and that there is not a content library within the software that you can go to to not only view other bodies at work, but review different techniques that it can be used or applied with each feature that they add on are constantly updating. It makes even an experienced learner feel somewhat behind the eight ball every time you logon, and the new update is there, then you have to spend time researching what's possible.
