Hi Laura and welcome aboard!

You've already taken a first great step by reaching out to this communnity. There are a bunch of really smart and talented heroes here that always seem to be able to answer my questions at least.

Articulate has created some nice tutorials you can view...

And be sure to check out the Rapid E-learning Blog

That being said, I found the product intuitive enough to start diving in and messing around with right away by creating a fake module or two.  

Good luck and feel free to post any questions here.... someone will be able to answer them!

Thanks so much, Bob. I think I will be using this community a lot.

Hi Laura,

I would add that in addition to the tutorials, perhaps try and replicate a module/course that you have already built in another tool. That way, you know what you are trying to achieve, and can ask us more specific questions when you need help.

Welcome to the forum!

Thanks, Bruce. I thought i would take some of my powerpoints and convert.

Have a great weekend,

Laura

I always say have some fun.  Choose a topic you kno well and build a course.  My first course was on martial arts, I never finished it, but it was something I new well.

Have fun whilst you learn, post back when you need help

Welcome, Laura!

Here is a free tutorial series called Building Better Courses. It includes source files you can download and practice along with the tutorials.  

Also be sure to check out the Download section of the community for more great freebies

Hi Laura, I took a course I'd designed for another elearning software and built it in Articulate. This really helped to find out what I could and could not do (not much). The tutorials and blogs are great so dipping into those for ideas will help.
