I might have missed this in another discussion, but I'm wondering why use Rise over Storyline 360, or Storyline 360 over Rise. Is there a "rule of thumb" for using one over the other?
Great question, Christopher! Here's an article that explains how to decide which tool to use for which project. I hope that helps clear things up! If not, let me know. :)
Exact question I had but I am still not sure. They seem to do the same thing? Maybe Rise is more structured and better for a beginner - putting the word Pro in the title made me nervous as I have never used Articulate before.
Hi Stephen. For most of the types of courses e-learning developers are asked to create, Rise is a great option. It's web-based and easy to use. Creating courses is fast, the output looks beautiful, and it's responsive—adapting and reflowing content based on the screen size and orientation of the device your learners view it from. When you need or want to create something that's much more custom or immersive—like a simulated interaction between several characters, for instance—you'll want to choose Storyline because you'll have more options for creating whatever type of course you can imagine.
Doesn’t help me a great deal because I am new to this, and I have no reference point, so when you say much more immersive, more customised – I do not no how much more immersive or how much more customised my course needs to be to be using Storyline as opposed to Rise.
In any event, as a beginner I have to use both so I am trying out Storyline as I want to import images from the books we publish, and I want to play around a lot with it so I can get the feel of it.
Will need loads of help, as this is not my full-time job, I am playing with an idea to provide our teachers guides (ELT Books), as a e-learning course, which are interactive...I want the teachers to use them which they don’t at the moment. Providing an alternative will hopefully trigger some interaction.
