Welcome to the New E-Learning Heroes!
Hello! I’m Ginger Swart, a Community Manager here at Articulate, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to our new E-Learning Heroes Community! Please check out this article to watch a walkthrough video of our site and our FAQ article for more information. The work to move to our new site started over a year ago. To prepare for this, we have migrated over 1.5 million community members, 2100+ articles, 970+ examples and downloads, and more discussion posts than I can count! We had a beta period with our Super Heroes, and we appreciate all of the feedback we received from them. But with that much content, we anticipate there will be some hiccups, so please use this discussion to let us know about any issues you find and any feedback you want to share with us. I hope you’ll love the new community as much as I do!A New Chapter for Our E-Learning Heroes Community
It's hard to believe that two weeks have already passed since we launched our new E-Learning Heroes community platform. We're thrilled to be on this journey with you, building upon the incredible foundation of knowledge and collaboration we've cultivated together for well over a decade now. What's New and Exciting Many of you have shared positive feedback about the new forums, noting that they're easier to navigate. We're especially pleased to hear that the new dedicated groups, such as those for JavaScript and Accessibility, are welcome additions. These improvements are just the beginning – we have more exciting features in the pipeline. Acknowledging the Challenges Of course, with any significant transition, there are bound to be some hurdles along the way. We've encountered a few hiccups, and we sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through them. Here are a couple of key points to be aware of: Content Cleanup: In preparation for the move, we archived discussions that hadn't seen activity in over three years, as well as outdated articles and user guides. This means that some older content may no longer be accessible. It will take some time for search engines to update their results accordingly. Technical Issues: We're aware of a redirect bug that sometimes causes pages to load incorrectly. If you encounter this, please try refreshing the page or clearing your cache. We're actively working with our platform vendor to resolve this and some other issues. Feature Differences: We’ve heard your feedback about some features that you’re missing from our old community, such as showcasing projects on your profile, how the emails display, seeing postings on our jobs hub, and others. Some of those features are in the works, and we are sharing additional feature requests with our vendor. In the meantime, If you're looking for E-Learning job postings, we recommend ATD's job bank and and The Learning Guild Job Board. Moving Forward Together Your experience and satisfaction are our top priorities. We're committed to creating an environment where you can easily find the help and resources you need to build exceptional courses. As we navigate this transition together, please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or feedback. You can reply to this thread or feel free to email us atcommunity@articulate.com. Thank you for being an integral part of our E-Learning Heroes community. Your contributions, insights, and patience during this time are invaluable. We're excited about the future and the enhanced experience that we're building together.Listing your own posts /contributions
One big disadvantage of the changes in the new community in my opinion is the 'lesser' searchability of your own posts and contributions. In the past i used that to point potential clients to my Elearning Heroes profile and there they could check my work and contributions especially to Storyline related projects. Now that isnot possible anymore as it is not as easy browsable anymore. So i have to find another solution for that...but i really dislike it, as sharing projects this way was a great way. Helping the community, while building my portfolio.Frequent discussion board issues
Hi there, I'd like to report a lot of frequent issues with the new discussion board. Here's what I frequently experience throughout the week since the new community has been launched: Selecting reply will frequently result in this: Sometimes when I reply, my post disappears, so I reply again, it disappears, so I reply again, it disappears etc. Sometime later all of my replies show up making it look like I'm spamming a post. Sometimes the reply and like buttons are disabled and cannot be selected. Sometimes when I go to my profile, no discussion load. Just an empty profile. Sometimes when I select a link to add video the From video URL link isn't there. The software just seems really buggy and seems a bit hit and miss whether I'm going to be able to post, reply or view issues. I'm on a very stable broadband connection (fibre to the office), and when I've had issues, have checked my connection and has been fine. Hopefully these get resolved quickly as I just give up sometimes. If this is happening to other people frequently, it's going to impact the community.

Using the new community/forum now a few days. And a lot indeed has improved. A few things i miss and/or find annoying and would love to be changed ( or some solution you can disable/enable this as a user ) When hovering / showing more posts on the main page, the user card ALLWAYS pops up ( in Google Chrome ). No way to avoid that, and thats really annoying especially because it blocks the titles of the posts. Every time i open the community, i have to login. It isnot remembered. I miss the job-board as it was on the old community.Seeking Experienced Instructional Designer/SME for Education Projects (Contract Work)
Over a decade ago, I connected with two amazing contractors on this platform, and now I'm seeking another professional to join my team on a contract basis. My main instructional designer is transitioning to a full-time role, and I need someone who can collaborate with me on creating scripts and content for a variety of education-specific subjects. This is contract work, and projects will be assigned as needed. Ideal candidates will have a background in instructional design, research, or subject matter expertise in education. You’ll work closely with me to ensure the content is engaging, accurate, and meets the high standards required for educational development. If you are interested, please reach out with your portfolio or samples of previous work. I’m looking forward to hearing from you! ErikaIssue with Exporting and Importing Translations in Rise 360
Hi Team, I'm facing a translation issue in Rise 360. I followed the three localization steps shown in the video link: https://training.articulate.com/videos/rise-360-translate-your-course Make a duplicate of this course Exported the course text as an XLIFF file from the course duplicate (see attached Export Translation.png). Imported the translated text file (see attached Import Translation.png and Import Successful Message.png). However, after importing, the course content in the source file is still displaying in the original language rather than in the translated language (French). Here is the review link for the Demo for Translation (French) course link: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/89d886bd-a841-4ae9-8403-617c59891281/review. I've also attached the Demo-for-translation-french.xlf file, which contains the French content. Although I see the "Import Successful" message, the content does not update to French. Note: I have selected French from the Custom Course Labels dropdown under Labels, which applies to the French language in the player but does not affect the course content. Could you please advise on best practices for exporting and importing translations?Morph transition on Feature Roadmap
As the Morph transition made it to the Feature Roadmap for Articulate 360 ( finally! ), i do think it is good to post what we want/expect it to do, and what is a miss in our ( the users ) eyes. That way Articulate can keep that in mind while developing. For that we first need to divide Storyline elements in groups/types ... so we can discuss how we expect that type to morph. TYPES 1) Images 2) Storyline shapes 3) Video 4) Text ( SVG ) 5) Imported SVG 6) UI elements As on the roadmap it is defined as 'transition'. So i expect it to be exactly that. A Morph transition between 2 slides. So next would be defining the 'attributes' of the defined types we expect to morph. ATTRIBUTES A) Position x/y B) Scale C) Rotation D) Fill color and line ( actually all Format Shape settings ) E) Transparancy If for all the types the given attributes are morphable, i am happy. I expect 3) Video to be non-morphable. 2) Shapes and 4) Text i however expect and hope to have all attributes morphable. Do comment on this with your hopes and dreams for the Morph transition and lets hope Articulate listens.
