Articulate Studio'12 Preview?!

Some really killer features in there. Hoping to see the question import / export to text file and excel file bubble its way over to Storyline

LOve the idea of export, hope this makes its way over

nice!

I'm ready.

Any need for beta testers?  I can't wait to get my hands on this new version. 

Thanks!

Yes, upgrades are typically 50% the cost of the full version. Even cheaper if you get PMP.

Hi Heather.

Send me a private message with your email address and I'll add you to the list of potential beta testers.

If you want to be on the beta, send an email to beta@articulate.com and we'll add you to the list.

Any idea if Studio 12 will output video strictly to mp4 format as does StoryLine?

Is Studio 12 is just a add-on to PowerPoint or this is like a separate software?

I can import PPT file in it but can I publish PPT from this?

These are big questions for me because right now I made changes in PPT file and share it with my client for verification before publishing. However, if it is not exporting PPT file, then my client also needs to buy the software. I am using Articulate from last 1.5 yrs. All the branding and set templates will ruin if it does not support the previous version.

Please confirm.

Hi,

Does it support action script 3 ?

Thanks

The UI for presenter and engage look really good. Looking forward to it.

We hope (and assume) so!

It is now late August.  Is there a more specific release date?  I hope it doesn't turn into Studio '13.  

Welcome to Heroes, Daniel

I can't offer you an update, but if you're interested in joining the beta, please feel free to contact the beta administrator and share why you'd be a good fit: beta@articulate.com

We also have a preview of Studio '12 up over here. Some really cool stuff is coming!

Welcome again, and thanks for your interest!

Thanks for the response Peter.   I sent the email requesting a chance to beta test.

I agree that the new features look very nice.  That is why I am interested in the release date.  I have been using Studio '09 since its release and see many uses for the new features in Studio '12.

RE:

Articulate Studio ’12 features industry-leading Section 508 support, making it widely accessible to all of your learners. Now, learners with screen readers can easily access your course content.

Any more information about how compliant Studio'12 will be?  Sudio'09 said that it was compliant with exceptions - the exceptions being that you couldn't navigate from page 1.  Accessibility is a big deal, since all eLearning developed for the US Govt/Federal Agencies is required to be Section 508 compliant.

Hi, Dan - 

The new version of Studio will use a player and assembly similar to the Storyline output. Accessibility is improved significantly over Presenter and while it's not perfect, there are methods that can be used to improve the experience for those with disabilities. You might want to give Storyline's output a try to see if it works for your client's requirements.

Thanks Steve.

We tested Storyline's output for Section 508 compliance and it was deemed unaccessible in its current state. Besides waiting for a Storyline update to fix those issues -  I was hoping that Studio'12 would be useable without having to create a separate alternate version of the training, like we have had to do in the past.

Hi Dan.

Can you please submit a case outlining the specific areas where you feel that Storyline is not 508 compliant and provide an example file? Also, were you vieiwng the Flash output, not HTML5 or mobile? Check out this article for more details about Storyline 508 compliance.

Hi Dan,

Sorry to hear that Storyline's 508 support didn't meet your needs. We'd really like our 508 support to be the best, can you help me understand what didn't work for you? 

You can send me a private message or reply here.  I'd really like to hear the details.

Thanks,

Arlyn

Any news on the release date for Studio 13??
