I am starting a job in which I will be using Articulate. I have only used Captivate, and I have never used Articulate. Can you recommend some books that would help me learn this program.
Not sure which product you want to learn, however, if you are happy to work from an online source, if you work you way through the appropriate tutorials - http://community.articulate.com/tutorials/products/default.aspx , you will pretty much have all you would ever need.
In addition to the forums and tutorials, you can take courses on Lynda.com. You have to pay a fee, but I believe they have as short as a one month membership.
This community is great - so you can always ask questions here and some hero will be happy to help!
There's also Stephanie Harnett's Learning Storyline, if you are looking for additional books. Also, as Sherrie mentioned, on lynda.com there are a few courses specific to Articulate:
You know it's simply not helpful to be directed to a page with random articles. As in instructional designer, I am trying to build a course. I'm new to Articulate. When I want to learn how to do something, I would love to be able to go to a directory, find the lesson, and then follow step by step instructions on how to do this. The randomness of where these lessons are planted in this website is maddening for a new user. Unless I'm missing something...please show me where this directory lives.

Hi Sharon,

Anything else, just shout on the forums.
Welcome aboard.

Of course I have to plug E-Learning Uncovered: Articulate Storyline. But, I also agree with Bruce about the tutorials provided by Articulate - they're great.
Hi, Sharron:
There's also Stephanie Harnett's Learning Storyline, if you are looking for additional books. Also, as Sherrie mentioned, on lynda.com there are a few courses specific to Articulate:
Up and Running with Storyline
Storyline Advanced Techniques
Up and Running with Studio 13
Studio 13 Advanced Techniques (should release in September)
The latter three by yours truly. Hope that helps.

Hello Sharon,
Here is some suggestion for you:
Design for How People Learn (recently updated with 3 new chapters)
ISD From the Ground Up: A No-Nonsense Approach to Instructional Design
Understanding by Design
E-Learning Fundamentals: A Practical Guide
Michael Allen’s books. I recommend starting with one from his E-Learning Library series.
