I'm right there with you. Rise is a wonderful new tool to have in the e-learning toolbox. I can't even tell you how many projects would've benefitted from Rise...
Am I interpreting correctly that if I want to use custom variables, etc I would use storyline, but it would not be fully responsive? If I want fully responsive, I'm limited on the level of customization in the course using Rise? I'm trying to understand when/why I would use one tool over another, and if I would use any of them together with Rise.
Hi Lisa. Thanks for sharing your question with us. Storyline 360 outputs content to a responsive player but the content itself maintains its aspect ratio. Since the relative position of content on a slide matters (for example, if you build a slide with a person pointing at a map, you don't want the map repositioned above the person's head when the slide is viewed on a phone), the responsive player adapts to the learner's screen size and orientation, but the content itself does not change position.
Things like variables that you create in Storyline should work beautifully in the responsive player. In fact, here's a sample course that uses some variables. I think it illustrates how the responsive player just works. I found it helpful to view this on my phone or with a tablet and then to compare it to the desktop version.
If you’re looking to develop inherently responsive e-learning, Rise might be just what you need. Check out this sample course to see how a Rise course differs from a Storyline or Studio 360 course in the responsive player.
One final idea: Nicole Legault wrote this really nice article that walks through when to use each product in Articulate 360. Could be handy to bookmark and read when you have a few.
Thank you Trina, that's a great article and exactly what I needed! Is it possible to subscribe to (or purchase) just Storyline 360 and not all the other tools? I looked at the pricing page and it looks like it's all or nothing, but I read somewhere in a comment that you can still purchase just Storyline. I'm just not sure if that SL2 or 360.
Oh great. Glad that article was helpful to you, Lisa! Here's a link to a discussion thread that gives a little more insight into the subscription pricing model and our approach to perpetual licensing. I think it will answer your question, but feel free to reply here if I can be of help.
You should also check out all the upcoming webinars through Articulate Live, which is available through the Articulate 360 desktop app. I've registered for a couple of upcoming webinars being run by Dave Anderson.
There is one webinar called "Getting Started with Articulate 360" (and many others!)

Thanks Trina, I am really excited about rise, there is so much opportunity here!

Is there a page with what is new from Storyline 2 to Storyline 360?
