We are in the process of developing training courses for our organisation and have started to produce powerpoint slides with a view to purchasing Studio to convert these into e-learning modules.
We have now had a suggestion that we should purchase Storyline.
Any advice on whether we should now purchase Storyline instead of Studio would be appreciated.
A follow up question along this line: Is there a document or summary of the differences and advantages between Studio 2013 and Storyline?
I have Studio 09 running in a Office 2010 / WIN7 environment and I am looking for the iPad publishing capability. We typically do use a PPT based format.
In an ideal world, I would recommend both since they serve different needs. Storyline will enable you to create amazing presentations with interactions that would have required you to be a Flash guru in the past. However, if most of your work begins with Powerpoint decks provided by SME's then Studio will offer a much faster turn around. I personally prefer Storyline, but I find that I use Studio just as much because the request is often to get a Powerpoint presentation converted and on the LMS.
I have used Presenter for a while and am just starting with Storyline. Presenter allows you more animation options than Storyline. For example, Storyline doesn't give you wipe or motion path options. However, Storyline does provide the ability to create variables and states, and I really like the Timeline for managing layers and animation timing. Storyline outputs to HTML5, which had not been possible with Presenter previously (though it may be now, or is in the works).

Hi Tracy, and welcome to the Heros community.
Are you/your organisation wedded to the concept of basing your courses off PowerPoint?
What version of PowerPoint do you have - as Office 2013 will not work with Studio '09.
This may also help.
And this too....
Once again - a warm welcome.

Hi Pam - Studio 13 fully supports HTML5 output.
