Articulate Storyline 3
Have you upgraded to Articulate Storyline 3 yet?
Articulate Storyline is probably the industry-standard for developing high-level e-learning content, with its timeline animations and trigger events, photographic and illustrated characters, design/colour themes, and output options, including the HTML5 standard that most of us will want these days.
Of course Storyline is really for content designers, and the functionality and learning-curve (and time required to learn) is beyond what most teachers will ever want to invest. For for corporate use, and high-profile projects, where there is a reasonable budget, it can be exceptionally good.
But Storyline isn’t cheap. A license will cost you US$1,398, but if you own an earlier version you can upgrade for US$699.
And there are a whole range of powerful features in version 3 compared to version 2, including:
