Animation in Storyline through the Morph Transition
Hello everyone, 🎉
I have some great news to share! We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 98, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the new features we’ve included is:
- Engage learners with fluid transitions that seamlessly animate objects, shapes, and other content between slides.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You’ll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have additional questions.
Nope. Miguel isn't "Staff." Look at the road map published above by Phil, who is.
Articulate is all about the accessibility and the templates. Zero interest in going back and improving or shoring up dated existing product, regardless of input from current users. From the size of the road map, their development team must be pretty tiny. Meaning, no bandwidth.
The roadmap is bland, it's boring and most of all, it's relatively easy.
At this point, we can give up on this one. They don't wanna and they not gonna.
You may want to reframe how you think about Articulate's place in your L&D platform. Instead of being the cornerstone of course design and delivery, relegate it to one spoke in the wheel. Learning Experience Platforms are rapidly shifting course authoring tools to being only one of many arrows in the quiver. And there are course authoring tools coming up that integrate just as well into these platforms, with more features and faster turnaround.
Elblearning.com is one to watch. The graphic on their home page gives a good overview of how course authoring tools fit into a larger L&D strategy. No, I'm not affiliated with them in any way. Just a representative example.
Articulate is resting on its laurels and milking their cash cow.
Well said Julia.
I turned my nose up at iSpring a little in the past but having been using it more lately due to Articulate's state of inertia I'm surprised with the extent of its animation options compared to Articulate's.
No affiliation either.
I have been working with Lectora untill it was bought by the Elearning Brothers ( now Elblearning ). At some point they shifted their focus in development on tools that were in the hype of the moment ( CenarioVR ) and somewhat lost focus on their main tool ( Lectora ). When ELB aquired Lectora from Trivantis i hoped on improvement. It didnot happen and as ELB and Lectora were not the most widely used tools in Europe ( for freelancers and in jobs ) i switched back to Articulate.
Is the one better then the other ?
No.
Both are tools, both companies have pluses and minuses. Development wise both are NOT top notch. Both tend to bring out bugged versions too early too soon. As Julia says... do check the competition. In your company checkup on whats needed and what works with your LMS or LRS. Find tools ( and people ) to help you get the desired results. Donot forget open source tools and software.
