Language learning platform

Sep 16, 2021

I'm looking into the build of a language learning platform. It would mainly include characters and interactive lessons, hence I consider using Articulate 360. I would like this to be working smoothly both on a PC and on mobile and people to be able to see and read well even on a mobile. I would appreciate everyone's opinion:

1) Do you think Articulate 360 can make a platform mobile responsive enough and user friendly both on PC and mobile?

2) Would you set it up as one show/presentation or split it and upload it on an LMS as separate lessons?

3) Does anyone have any examples which could give an idea of what it would look like on a PC/mobile?

4) Would a mobile app be more of a reasonable idea for that purpose (at least for the mobile version)? Would it be more difficult, though (or even more expensive)?

Of note, I have used Articulate 360 for a while and I am familiar with it's logic, but I'm not experienced enough to make this on my own.

Thank you all very much in advance for your kind help.

Hi Steve,

This sounds like a fascinating project! There's a lot of very different, but all very good, ways you could make this idea work in Articulate 360 (and I imagine the community will have some useful insights on the approaches you could take).

Your first question does have an easy answer though. Both Storyline 360 and Rise 360 can cover your needs for courses that work beautifully on both PCs and mobile. Rise 360 content is inherently responsive and the Storyline 360 responsive player responds to the screen size and orientation of any mobile device for the best viewing experience. With Storyline 360 you just want to make sure you're using the modern player.

As for which of those two options is best for this project, one deciding factor could be the specific kinds of interactions you want to create. If the Rise 360 interactions cover your needs, it might be the best option since it's so fast to create courses in. But if you need custom interactivity and a more immersive learning experience, then Storyline 360 could be the better fit.
