Allow shapes outline to be inside or outside, not only middle?
Never used Lectora Online by web - can you use your own javascript on this environment? Can you manipulate published files? Add webobjects? That three storyline functions can push this program over the limits and far beyond intended use - that's why I stick to SL in the first place. If my client wanted easily edited text with text changing it's size by 2x or etended line-spacing (hello WCAG) I could do that, despite the fact Storyline couldn't on the first glance. I'd love not to loose that and SaaS sounds like I will :D
I agree of course that this software is outdated technologically. But SaaS isn't also a holy grail. Some programs should stay desktop, as they better utilize the resources. I've used some webbased things (like vyond) and for me, this is painful. When project got a little more complicated, everything slows down due to the browser emulating another program. Browser is for browsing internet, not for making e-learning courses :) I like Rise, but Rise is for some specific, light-weight learnings and that's fine. Well also I work in a small company so we don't need all that project-handling, maybe that's why I'm a little biased ;)
Yes to all 3. You can add your own custom CSS and JS. You can download and edit published webcontent or Scorm, you can add and use WebObjects. The HTML is generates is more HTML5 then Storyline's.
So why i use Storyline instead of Lectora ?
Storyline ( and Rise ) are easier to use for less-tech-savy developers/designers.... and in Europe Storyline is more used then Lectora so i switched because of available projects and freelance jobs.
