Reach 360 ??
Reach 360 is suddenly on my dashboard. Will there be a webinar to let us understand what it really is? The video isn't specific. Sounds intriguing.

Is there a way to use Reach without learner management? Can I post a link to a landing page where all of our course content is available for learners to enroll in? Just trying out a free trial but seems users have to be invited to individual courses/added to courses manually.
Hi Molly!
The direct method of getting training to your learners is to enroll them in your training. See the article below for different ways of enrolling learners in your training:
However, instead of enrolling individual learners or groups in your training, you can also make your training discoverable by learners by turning on library visibility. When publishing a course or editing the course settings, you can set the Library visibility option to On, and add the course to multiple libraries.
When learners click the Browse Library button, they will see the available courses in the libraries they are added to. They can choose which courses they'd like to view, and admins can track the results as well.
Let me know if you have additional questions or clarifications!
But the users still need to be added to the library? We produce open-access
programming and don't have the ability to manually add users.
I'm still not completely clear on what Reach is. Is it a content management system? A knowledge management system? A course repository or a curation platform?
The purpose seems to be: a place to store courses outside of an LMS that also allows students to access and take the courses. This storage area will also generate learning analytics.
Is this correct?
Hi Kim!
Happy to help explain more about Reach 360!
Reach 360 is our new product that is geared more toward larger enterprises. It's for organizations that already have an LMS, but may not have a solution for desk-less and external use cases.
All of the authoring happens in the Articulate 360 environment, in Storyline 360 or Rise 360 and publishing is natively integrated into Reach 360. Also, admins can manage, track, and analyze their learners' e-learning content!
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
I am also looking for a solution that allows users to access training similar to a learning portal.
Hi Stephanie! It's easy to publish your training from Storyline 360 and Rise 360 directly into Reach 360. We'd love to have you sign up for a trial of Reach 360.

Reach sounds very interesting! How large audiences could we reach, is there any limit? In addition to restricted LMS courses we publish open content for thousands (and up to 100 000 learners in a single course). We cannot provide an LMS for them. Currently we have a WordPress site and a certification plugin.
Organizations would love to have their staff's performance data from us and the Reach APIs might work here.
But... Is there any chance we could use Reach in Europe? I didn't find any specific info on GDPR compliance. Edit: I also contacted the Articulate privacy team to learn about this question.Hi Tuuli,
I see the case you submitted. You'll receive a response soon from our team regarding your questions.
As for as using Reach 360 in Europe is concerned, you should be able to do so. Since Reach 360 is part of the Articulate 360 suite of apps, it should also be covered by our current documentation. Our privacy and security team should be able to elaborate more on this in their response.
I've been consulting for years recommending and using the 360 suite, as well as recommending LMS solutions. This is a nice light LMS that will work well for customers that don't need to include other courses and such. If you only use Rise 360 or Storyline 360 you're pretty good. I may have a different opinion after I learn about the pricing. It's not a great vibe when you have to contact sales. It's sort of a "if you have to ask you can't afford it."
@Buck Bard: I agree with you. It's weird to see this message instead of having a price model table available.
It would help if there was transparent pricing as there is on Articulate 360. It always makes the job as a Learning Leader harder when you are looking for a quick answer and have to wait for a sales Team to call you back. Also it would be great to have a comparison chart of Reach, Rise and other LMS systems. Thanks
I'm surprised no one has mentioned this, but it appears that "Reach 360" has replaced the cost-free "Articulate 360" publishing option in Rise. My organization has already published Rise courses via the "Articulate 360" option and we can still access those courses. The free "Articulate 360" publishing option, however, is no longer available.
Will we continue to have access to the courses we've published prior to the launch of Reach 360? The licensing fees are fairly high and we didn't plan on that expense at the onset of our project.
Are there any Articulate folks on this thread that can answer this question? Here or pvt me, please. Thank-you.
I like the simplicity of Reach 360 but the pricing is way out of line. You get a fraction of the functionality of an LMS for that same price (and a fairly low number of users). This could have been a big win for Articulate but I believe it's a huge miss on the pricing.
It was simple before, but now we have to pay for it. I don't think it's intended to replace the existing LMS option.
I remember the old Articulate LMS it was great! It was simple cheap and extremely user friendly. I remember costs being less than a few hundred a month for a tremendous amount of users. I used it for over 3000 users had no issues and was able to get decent data from it.
