Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I manage and create our certification program that includes 58 training modules. I have used Articulate products for about 13 years and recently I moved all 58 modules from Storyline to Rise. I appreciate the ease of Rise and the ability to publish my scenarios from Storyline into Rise. I recently had an interview with Articulate employees on ideas and suggestions I have about the 360 suite. The review process and versions in Rise make tracking suggestions and changes easy.

Pros

AI text to speech
Branching
Publishing

Cons

AI character generation within Storyline would be great
AI text to speech -the ability to save advanced settings on most used voices
The ability to turn images within a scene into a video

Return on Investment

Ease of use and the built in accessibility features are awesome
Ability to create modules quickly and efficiently
Ability to share modules with our training committee via Review 360 has made tracking suggestions easy
The version tracking is Rise 360 makes it very easy to see changes over time.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Articulate to generate interactive training modules. We address Safety, HR, and internal scopes. Our scope varies for each case. For instance, we just completed a course on defensive driving. Articulate allows me to generate high-quality interactive SCORM-compliant training. In this case, our company was in need of driving training that would be memorable. Articulate allowed me to generate high-quality videos that can be interactive as well.

Pros

Excellent object customization.
Easy trigger setup.
Beautiful video playback.

Cons

I would love to see Articulate release a Mac version.
Enhanced customizable animations.
Adding more characters to the asset library would be beneficial.

Return on Investment

Speed of development.
Ease of use reduced training time needed to begin developing.
The accessibility checker speeds up accessibility compliance.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

Articulate was invaluable in converting old PowerPoints to self-paced computer-based training, which helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of my training program. I was only able to use Storyline, but the ability to import slide decks into the software as a starting point for improvement was really useful. Many of the functions are easy to learn and use. The AI assistant and, in general, the AI functionality are easy to use and produce a really polished product with little need for modification.

Pros

Importing from other software.
Course creation.
Easy export to SCORM.

Cons

Training videos.
Automated Suggestions.
More import functionality

Return on Investment

Training effectiveness.
Training efficiency.
Course flexibility.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Articulate 360 daily within my organization to create all of our online learning content. I primarily use Storyline 360 to create our courses, but within the last year have been developing more and more Rise courses as well. I then use Review to review the courses with my SME's for edits and re-writes prior to distributing through our LMS. I am the only user of the program within our facility.

Pros

Branching scenarios
Use of variables
Ability to create engaging content

Cons

Accessibility’s getting better
Review feature just had annotations added, but could use a bit more improvement

Return on Investment

We have been able to reduce training time
We have been able to make sure our courses are more universally accessible
We are able to easily add voice over to content with AI

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Articulate 360, both Storyline and Rise, to create captivating, innovative, and interactive e-learning experiences. The product allows for customized asynchronous e-learning development. With Rise, the e-learning courses are fully responsive, which is key for today’s busy learners who value flexibility and mobility. I have used Articulate 360 to create learning for numerous industries and topics including transportation, animal training, technology, upskilling, customer service, manufacturing, agriculture, and many more.

Pros

Responsive platform with Rise
Full customization of e-learning features with Storyline
Fantastic AI integration which improves workflow and saves time
Great customer service

Cons

A trigger that resets all variables or a selection of variables would be useful.
Enabling objects to smoothly change their size along a motion path.
Adding the morph transition to layers.
Adding features form Maestro Mighty to Rise so they are native.
An auto-save function for Storyline.
A function in Rise that would allow for leaderboards or real-time feedback from participants if using for VILT or ILT.

Return on Investment

Improved customer service.
Responsive training.
Customized learning solutions including gamification.
