Note: For the modules that
contain audio, I used TextAloud to convert the text to audio. This
provides a great option if you don't have a good voice or don't want to pay
to have the audio recorded.
Articulate Studio vs Articulate Storyline
A lot of clients ask me as a consultant to compare what you
get with the two different Articulate products, Studio and Storyline.
First, they are most definitely two different products with Studio
being composed of three different tools: Engage, Presenter, and QuizMaker
where PowerPoint is the primary authoring environment (the Presenter tool is
a PowerPoint add-on) whereas Storyline is more of a robust authoring
tool. Click here to view a table comparing the strengths and
differences of each.
508 Compliance
Storyline’s output is 508 compliant, including
support for the following:
·
JAWS readers
·
Full keyboard navigation
·
Visible focus indicator
·
Authors can add subtitles to videos
using the timeline
·
Authors can create a slide transcript
using the Notes tab
Section 508 is a part of the
Rehabilitation Act of 1973, which requires that electronic and information
technology developed, procured, maintained or used by the Federal government
be accessible to people with disabilities.

A Short Course Built with Storyline - The Harmony 700
Universal Remote
This course on the use of the Harmony 700 Universal Remote
was created as a sample to show what can be done with Captivate 6 vs. what can be done with Storyline. Where possible, the modules were converted and slides
replicated from the Captivate modules as closely as possible so as to show
any differences. The course includes modules that are content only (with some
degree of interactivity), demonstrations (simulation), and practices
(simulations). The course also includes a short scored assessment that could
be delivered via an LMS for tracking of student scores and responses.
