Articulate 360

Avantages

La suite est complète entre :- Storyline 360 (le logiciel historique qui permet de créer des modules e-learning très personnalisés)- Rise 360 (application web qui permet de créer rapidement et facilment des modules full responsive)- Review 360 (application web qui facilite grandement la relecture et les échanges entre les différents membres du projet)- Replay 360 (logiciel qui permet simplement et rapidement de faire du montage vidéo basique).

Inconvénients

Le modèle économique ! C'est un abonnement annuel, pas de possibilité de prendre pour le temps d'un projet client (quelques mois uniquement). Il y a le produit Storyline 3 qui est un achat unique, mais il n'y a pas tous les éléments de la suite Articulate 360 et Storyline 3 n'a pas toutes les mises à jour de Storyline 360.

Pourquoi passer à Articulate 360

Avantages

Grande offre d'éléments graphiquesLogiciel très complet avec la possibilité d'intégrer du contenu Java Script

Inconvénients

Parfois pas très intuitifTemps de chargement un peu long

Avantages

L'outil peut paraitre rassurant de prime abord car il ressemble beaucoup à power point. D'ailleurs il est possible d'intégrer directement un ppt, pour servir de base de travail.Si on maitrise bien le logiciel, il est possible de faire quasiment tout. Il y énormément d'options

Inconvénients

C'est un logiciel vieillissant. L'ergonomie est assez lourde. Il est intuitif pour les fonctionnalité basique, mais absolument pas intuitif pour le reste. La prise en main est très compliquée, et impossible de s'y mettre seul, sans formation.

Avantages

Articulate est un très bon logiciel qui permet de créer rapidement des vidéos tutoriels pour diffuser des formations e-learning rapidement.

Inconvénients

Plusieurs points faibles pour Articulate: première élement c'est le coût, la solution est très coûteuse à l'année pour une petite entreprise. Second point: l'interface est un peu lourd et traduit le fait que le logiciel est un peu vieillissant et manque de mise à jour.

Avantages

Even non-developers can unleash their creativity to create e-learning content.
The interface is similar to MS PowerPoint, making it easy and quick for anyone to learn.
By using the software, users can develop logical thinking through the trigger wizard.

Inconvénients

It is not compatible with MacBooks; a virtual machine is required to use it on a Mac.
The speed of the created content is not very fast and feels somewhat heavy.
As a Korean, I find that support for the Korean language is lacking in areas such as text input, font compatibility, and TTS provision.

Avantages

I like that Articulate 360 provides access to both Articulate Storyline and Rise, which enables me to develop eLearning content to suit a wide range of budgets.

Inconvénients

It is difficult to think of any serious negatives that have cropped up during my use of Articulate 360. If I was to ask for one improvement I think I'd ask for reverse transitions to be added as a feature, so that when one of my learners clicks back on a screen, the animation reflects that they are moving backwards through the course.

Avantages

Ease of use, online, integrates well with other Articulate software. So easy even a caveman could do it.

Inconvénients

Expensive and their licensing model has changed. Limited in scope of customizations, sort of cookie-cutter. Same look and feel over and over.

Logiciel antérieur 

Pourquoi passer à Articulate 360

Avantages

Articulate is easy to use and solced our simple lms problems.

Inconvénients

Bugs and crashing when using it. Very slow in large courses.

Avantages

The incorporation of Rise, a rapid and simple content creation tool has enabled me to create almost instant courses with little effort, which frees me up to do more sophisticated interactions in Storyline and incorporate them into the training courses.

Inconvénients

Rise does not have image descriptors, making it impossible to match images in courses without guessing the search term and hunting through pages of images. It can also be extremely slow to e.g. save block templates or move between courses.

Avantages

Love all of its application under 360. Storyline is still my favorite to use.

Inconvénients

Which for a simpler way to sync the usage of all applications under 360.

Avantages

Users benefit from an extensive content library with millions of assets, robust collaboration features through Review 360, and seamless LMS compatibility with SCORM and xAPI exports. Frequent updates, cloud-based access, and a supportive community further enhance its value, making it the go-to platform for creating engaging, professional e-learning experiences.

Inconvénients

The pricing is fairly expensive, particularly for individuals. Also its reliance on Windows for Storyline 360 limits functionality for Mac users without virtualization software.

Avantages

The functionality is great - lots of creative options that you can use to appeal to all learner types. Basic features are easy to use with a good interface. I like the wide range of templates which helps to make the creation of a course quicker. As many people are using the software, there is a lot of help available outside of articulate - forums, videos etc. The courses we create are successfully used across all employee levels. I like that one can include additional resources and chats to create a community for a course.

Inconvénients

Sometimes the number of options and the content library can be overwhelming for new users. It is very expensive for self-employed e-learning producers.

Avantages

Articulate is easy to learn and has excellent learning tools.

Inconvénients

I would of liked a more comprehensive overview of the differences between Rise, Story, etc.

Avantages

Multiple different ways to pose questions, create learning tools, and run tests.

Inconvénients

Can be a slight learning curve at the beginning when using the desktop app

Avantages

This software has changed my life and the experience of the learners I develop content for. Articulate 360 gives options. Have an amazing idea and need to start from scratch? Storyline is the place to go. It is so easy to use and there are a ton of tutorials, suggestions, and examples in the community forums. The templates in Rise allow for quick development of modern, easy to navigate online training (and I have used them to present information as well). The Content library is AMAZING! From photos to illustrations and icons - you'll find what you need. I no longer have to go to outside sources - everything I need is in the content library.

Inconvénients

The only suggestion I have is regarding Rise. I love how easy it is to plug and play information but I would like to see just a little more flexibility with editing. If I want to change more of the look I will just use Storyline, but Rise has a nice feel to it and would just like to make small edits - like remove a line in one of the text formats (I think it's statement A. There are workarounds, but more flexibility with design)>

Avantages

The amount of help and resources available via the E-learning Heroes forum is truly impressive. You don't have to reinvent the wheel when you think of a desired feature as it has usually been done already and users quite happily upload their .story files for others to customise. Saves lots of time in development.

Inconvénients

Not much but you are slightly limited in how the player is customised, but this is a very minor issue.

Avantages

Articulate 360 comes with a full and powerful suite of software that is easy to learn and easy to use, including Storyline 360. My team consists of a mixture of veteran and novice instructional designers and facilitators. Presenter 360 is especially useful for my novice designers and facilitators as it is so easy to use and mirrors the PowerPoint software they are already familiar with, while giving them the power of a Storyline project. The training and community support available are unmatched with any other software I have used to date.

Inconvénients

Templates can be built and reused easily for Storyline, but not as easily for Rise. There have been a few issues with certain fonts not being supported, but the help desk reached back out to me (almost 8 months later) when the issue was resolved. The content library is immense and included, but will not load more than ~20 pictures at a time.

Avantages

It's very easy to use, almost intuitive. Basically, if you understand how to use powerpoint, you'll be very comfortable with this software. It has a lot of built-in functionality, as compared to Captivate. You can publish nice courses with little effort. Put some effort to learn it's advanced features, and you can craft stunning courses. I've used this since version 1, and Studio before that. It gets better and better.
They have a great, useful user forum, and attentive support.

Inconvénients

I've had a couple instances where upgrades broke our lessons, the most recent being with Update 6. It was crashing the lessons if there was a quiz or survey. It was a SCORM issue. Our LMS toes the line, hard, on SCORM and the incompatibility caused me misery. I had to revert. Previous to that, upgrading courses from version 2 to version 3 caused the LMS to stop tracking and send warnings. The solution ended up being not to upgrade, but import the content in a new course. Not totally Articulate's fault, but rather a compatibility issue.

Avantages

Ease of use and the interactive tools are very helpful.

Inconvénients

Storyline is a goal but very time consuming. Wish it was easier to create courses.

Avantages

Ease of deployment. Templated lessons. Quiz customization.

Inconvénients

Tracking user engagement is lacking. A/B testing built in would be beneficial.

Avantages

Course Publishing & Course Integration, Scorm Compliance

Inconvénients

We are not using some of the Articulate 360 feature due to lack of awareness like Quizzes, Test/ Assessment, Interactive etc. There should be notifications of such information. Byte Sized Learning template should be there.

Avantages

Using Rise 360 to quickly create, share with team members for review and edit work for our learners. Easy to build and nice to use built in templates and photos to use. Quick turn around product. Storyline is excellent in it's similarity to the ppt file builds and a TON of built in resources!

Inconvénients

Not a lot of features in Rise to edit the look/feel of the pages.

Avantages

Ready Made templatesCloud based Integration Scrom compilant Easy to Storyline

Inconvénients

Pricing is highGroup based user pricing should be introduced.

Avantages

Articulate 360 is a suite of eLearning programs allowing you to developing engaging online learning content in numerous ways and for different levels of users. Need and easy-to-use tool to create dynamic content that is responsive design without a lot of effort, Rise is just one simple tool that is also quite powerful (i.e. you can embed Storyline content into Rise). Want to give your PowerPoint a lift, Articulate Studio 360 to the rescue. Articulate 360 includes an online Review program allowing others to provide feedback. Articulate has an extensive Content Library 360 available of characters, poses, illustrations, photos so you may not have to spend a ton licensing content for your eLearning. Articulate also provides tools for capturing and recording your screen. But the piece de la resistance is Articulate Storyline 360. This is the anchor of Articulate and like so many robust tools there is a learning curve. The good news is there is a strong online Articulate Community and you can find answers and solutions from others who have no doubt been down the road ahead of you. The webinars that they do are outstanding in quality and I attend as many as I can.

Inconvénients

The continual updates came to bite Articulate, and me as a user. One day after updating, which I do routinely I found my ability to Preview content in Articulate Storyline 360 to not work properly. The ability to Preview content and see the timing of elements on a slide is critical. The good news is I was able to uninstall the update and work in an earlier version. However, while Articulate continued to release updates and add features, I was unable to take advantage of them. The coordination of information by their Technical Support on this critical issue was sub par. I was more apt to figure out when a solution was available through trial and error. Although this earlier issue has been mostly resolved, it still has some lingering problems. Again, the Articulate Community far exceeds the copy/paste responses you can get from Technical Support.

Avantages

Allows to create e-Learning games and enrich training material with multiple HTML5 interactive features. Its Rise 360 feature for creating online courses meet the Agile work demand of our organization and its web-based interface is responsive and allows to create courses with simple drag & drops. On top of all of that, it offers plenty of templates.

Inconvénients

It's lacking LMS functionalities, the scoring and reporting have limitations, the characters animation is a little bit static/lack movements, and no voice-overs options. Some JavaScript coding does not works well.
