Overall Satisfaction with Articulate Storyline

It is used by one department to create modules for the entire organization including associates in over 600 stores. The bulk of the modules are used to distribute product knowledge and enhance selling skills. Additional modules address the use of our various business software programs. We also use it to create informational modules that address issues specific to franchise and retail organizations.
  • Storyline is versatile. You can create a quick module when starting out with Storyline. Then as you increase your skill level, it grows with you.
  • Storyline handles variables and conditional statements very well. Being able to build logic into my courses has become standard for me now.
  • The prebuilt options like buttons, hotspots, zooms, and states makes me look like a whiz. So easy to use.
  • It would be nice to have the ability to change a quiz question to a different type. For example, change a quiz question from True/False to Multiple Choice without retyping the whole question.
  • Would be nice if they added advanced video editing features so that it could be done right from within the program.
  • Would be nice if they added a remove background from an image feature similar to what PowerPoint has. Would make it quicker than taking the image out to another editing program.
  • Selling skills have increased due to the new modules.
  • Our associates are more knowledgeable about our products and services. Associates get up to speed very quickly because we can create a training module and launch it in a timely manner.
  • We have been able to decrease the amount of time needed for classroom training which saves on lodging and travel expenses. Also, time away from their position means they aren't selling. So using online modules to decrease classroom time is a win-win.
If you are planning to create a significant number of modules, choose Storyline. If you anticipate using logic to create more advanced features in your modules, choose Storyline. If you plan to rarely use an authoring tool, you may want to stick with something simpler. Will you use it enough to make the investment in money and time worthwhile?
