2 мая компания Articulate Inc. наконец-то выпустила в продажy давно обещанный Articulate Storyline – новый продукт, предназначенный для взыскательных пользователей, "выросших" из возможностей, которые предлагает им Articulate Studio 09. Основные отличия двух этих продуктов – Articulate Storyline не использует MS PowerPoint как основу для создания курсов, поэтому стало гораздо проще создавать очень сложные, нелинейные курсы, можно использовать встроенные интерактивные объекты и переменные и т.д.
Очень важно, что новый продукт сохранил фирменные черты других продуктов от Articulate Inc. – максимально понятный пользователю графический интерфейс и тщательную проработку дизайна не только контента, но интерфейса, в котором работает разработчик курсов.
Собранные в Articulate Storyline проекты, выгружаются значительно быстрее аналогичных, таких как Articulate Presenter.Storyline имеет простой пользовательский интерфейс и интуитивно понятные функции.В программе есть обучающий курс, доступ к шаблонам, руководства, советы, и бесплатные загрузки с сайта.
Articulate Storyline позволяет разрабатывать качественные и наглядные обучающие материалы, которые способствуют формированию активного познавательного интереса и легко усваиваются. С помощью несложных манипуляций презентация преобразуется в привлекательный Flash-объект, готовый к использованию в процессе обучения.
Создаваемые с помощью Articulate Storyline Flash-презентации обладают гибкими настройками, в том числе возможностями конфигурирования меню воспроизведения, включения мултимедийных объектов, дикторских текстов и т.д.
Интерактивные материалы, полученные с помощью Articulate Storyline, без проблем выполняются на любом web-сервере, что делает их доступными и удобными в работе.
Articulate Storyline также как и Articulate Presenter конвертирует файлы PowerPoint в Flash – популярный формат, поддерживаемый большинством web-браузеров. Кроме того, преобразование в формат Flash уменьшает размеры презентаций, благодаря чему исчезают проблемы с их загрузкой в web.

Intuitive User Interface
Storyline is so intuitive, you won't need any help to get started right away. The easy-to-use features and familiar user interface will make Microsoft PowerPoint users feel right at home.
Story View
With Story View, you get the big picture of your course. See all the slides in your course, group them into scenes, and easily alter relationships between slides by moving the lines and arrows connecting them. You can even use triggers in Story View to control how learners proceed through a nonlinear course.
Multimedia Support
With Storyline's multimedia support, add Flash interactions to your course easily. Import video in virtually any format—without performing complex conversions. You can also add sound by importing audio, or simply record it right in Storyline. Storyline lets you insert and format images in multiple formats, then adjust brightness, contrast, and color tint. You can also apply effects—such as shadows and reflections—to any image or shape you create with Storyline's familiar drawing tools.
Customizable Player
Easily customize the player that learners use to view your course content. Choose which tabs to show, add your logo, or adjust colors, fonts, and position of elements. Then email it to other course creators to enforce brand standards
Top Features:
Slide Templates
Build your slides from scratch or start from a template. You can even use templates with interactivity common to e-learning courses already built in. Easily customize a template to make it completely yours. Don’t see what you want? No problem. Free slide interactions and course templates are posted to E-Learning Heroes all the time. Simply download and then access your new templates from within Storyline.
Characters
Connect more fully with learners by using characters in your course. It’s easy to add up to 47,500 combinations of illustrated and photographic characters, expressions, and poses—there’s no need to hunt for art online. With just a few clicks, you can insert characters, then change their poses and expressions. Extend your character library with additional Articulate character packs.
Slide Layers
Drastically simplify how you create interactivity with slide layers, the innovative new way of building multiple interactions on a single slide. Slide layers let you quickly and easily overlay objects, and trigger layers to appear when learners take certain actions. No more duplicating and managing multiple slides. With slide layers, you create, edit, and manage multiple interactions on one slide—so you can author courses faster than ever.
Triggers
Build interactivity by choosing from a menu of easy-to-understand actions, such as “jump to slide” or “show a layer.” Then, designate when you want the action to occur, such as when a user clicks on a certain object. Combine triggers to create increasingly complex interactions.
States
Make objects feel alive by setting them to react to a learner’s actions. Set a button to change color after it’s been visited, or change the expression of a character when the learner clicks the wrong object. The possibilities are endless.
Variables
Add intelligence to your course using variables. Present dynamic content based on a learner’s activity and other conditions you define. Remember learner input or assessment results—and use the information later in your course if it meets your criteria. For example, if learner responses aren’t up to par, present additional slides at the end of the course to help them master the material.
Quizzing
Storyline combines the simplicity of form-based authoring with the flexibility of slide-based editing. The result: it’s easier than ever to create 20 different types of questions. Plus, with free-form question types, you can build a question using any objects on a slide. Advanced users can take advantage of additional simple yet powerful quizzing tools, including question pooling, randomization, and the ability to score a learner’s progress at multiple points in the course.
Drag-and-Drop Interactions
Creating drag-and-drop interactions is now a breeze. Simply add objects to your slide, choose “drag and drop” from the menu, then assign drag items and drop targets using the form-based editor.
Screen Recording
Show learners exactly what you want them to grasp by recording your screen. Easily add captions, characters, and zoom-and-pan effects.
Software Simulation
Record your screen once and Storyline automatically segments your activity into multiple step-by-step tutorials. If you make a mistake, you can edit the recording whenever and however you want—there’s no need to re-record. Let learners watch how to do a task in view mode, try the task in try mode, and test their mastery of the task in test mode.
Action Fine-Tuning
Fine-tune your screen recording quickly and easily. Storyline processes video after capturing it, so you can make edits without impacting the original video file. If you want to change the key frames, no problem. Use the video editor to adjust them—without re-recording your screen.
HTML5, Flash, and Mobile Devices
Now you can get courses to learners wherever they are. Build your course once, then publish it with a single click to multiple formats so learners can interact with it on their iPads, desktops, laptops, Android devices, and more. Storyline publishes to Flash, which is supported by a vast majority of personal computers, and to the Articulate Mobile Player, a native iOS application that optimizes courses for iPads. Storyline also publishes to HTML5, an increasingly popular format for delivering content with rich multimedia and interactivity.
Right-to-Left Languages
Make it easy for learners around the globe to access your courses. Localize your content with Storyline's right-to-left language support. Storyline also supports double-byte character sets (DBCS), so you can even translate your courses into Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
Template Sharing
Save your Storyline project as a template, then share it on the Articulate community. Or, email the template to team members, helping standardize course design across your organization.
Character Packs
Build your Storyline character library with additional photographic character packs featuring a range of ethnicities, ages, and clothing. Each set of photographic characters includes standing poses, headshots, and torso crops, so you can quickly find the right look.
