Wondering if, given the arguments against Flash, Articulate will ever have an alternate HTML5 output? This would serve our mobile users as well. Seems as though Adobe, itself, is toying with conversion ideas: http://mashable.com/2011/03/08/adobe-wallaby/ .
I wouldn't take this as gospel just yet. But I'm betting we'll see something cool in a few months and likely a new Studio package by the end of the year with some HTML5 output support. I say some because I'm not convinced HTML5 is ready for primetime and folks are going to have a really hard time replicating the stuff Flash enables (the cool stuff that Flash will do that matters anyway)
Thanks for the response. My primary concern (which is unavoidable), is the need for students with disabilities to have equal access to products. Flash can't be read by screen readers and assistive technologies; HTML 5 should be.

Hi Erin,
Articulate has telegraphed in some not-so-subtle ways that future tools (near future) will support output to HTML5.
A new tool called Storyline:

And bits / hints throughout this post:
