Articulate on iPads?

Hi all, I want to add to my voice to the need to accommodateArticulate output for the iPad in HTML 5 / ios format. I have seen a basicconverter tool on this site somewhere a while ago. However, it appears that itjust converts Articulate PowerPoint slides to flat PNGs and so no interactivity is preserved –links / animations etc. I did not see any Quizmaker conversion functionality.

I have submitted a feature request but I want to keep up thenoise on this matter!
Our group need to produce platform independent material and so we can’t be restrictedby flash only devices. As already mentioned by some users we are also lookinginto M-Learning by Rapid Intake. The battle between Apple and Adobe looks farfrom ending anytime soon. If Articulate is to stay competitive it needs todevelop non flash output sooner rather than later.

Anyone else seen any promising conversion tools?

Ta,

Alex

Hi Alex and welcome to Heroes! The next versions of all of our products will publish for devices that support HTML 5. See this thread for more info:

I am worried that my clients are going to ask me for an iPad version of my Articulate programs.  Would love to know if a Mac/iPad version is at least in the works.

Hi Mike and welcome to E-learning Heroes!

Good news: Yes, there's a new program coming called Storyline and it will support iOS and HTML5. We're in beta now and there isn't a lot publicly available, but this thread has some answers to commonly asked questions: http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/1694/9102.aspx#9102

Feel free to share that info with your clients!

Today:

I'd go the Asus Slate, i5, 4 MB Ram, SSDH 12" table running Win 7 - runs everything, integrates back into everything,  networks, fast , IT staff know them........You also go dual processor 10" table running win 7 etc etc

Tomorrow:  

I'd wait for windows full blown Touch OS out in late Jan 2012 - support for hand gestures as well as the above.

Flash is a very mature product been around some 15 years with at least three iterations of its powerful scripting language alone.

HTML 5 is effectively a version 1 product – it is so new it is still being interpreted by various Browsers differently – its level of interaction cannot be compared to maturity of Flash.  So this uncertainlty will prove interesting for Storyboard to say the least. 

iPAD = great for fun as long as you don’t wish to see all the web sites in the world. 

Thanks Apple for selecting which sites I can view to their full potential.

we have just gone through ipad and android tablet grief and i think you will find the post from Garry nails it. Basically, the tablet market, if the operating system does not run native on a PC considers it to be a glorified smartphone. In regards to Flash, our interactions with  Adobe have acknowledged that they are motivated towards marketplace apps and not plugin based app meaning native apps on Android as .apk for example and not webbased, thus the non existence of the video object to broadcast from a plugin based app.

If you're interested iSwifter runs Flash on iPad.

It's a bit slow but it works Depends what you need:)

Wow! No anwer since January. Not good. Maybe you have already done this but try using Iswifter app and run Articulate inside:   http://iswifter.com/

The skyfire browser also plays this content well.

I tried iSwifter a few months back and was totally unimpressed. I recall that it was slow and rendered jerky animations. Unless something has changed since then, or you are viewing flash content that is relatively static, it is NOT the answer to our prayers.
