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!E-Learning Challenges - Complete List!

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Cleanup: In preparation for the move, we archived discussions that hadn't seen activity in over three years, as well as outdated articles and user guides.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.Small annoying things in the new community to fix for Articulate
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.Upcoming E-Learning Heroes Events

Did you know that Articulate, creator of the industry-leading Articulate 360 platform, is also the founder of E-Learning Heroes, the world’s largest community for course creators? We built E-Learning Heroes to be a friendly, welcoming space for all e-learning professionals—customers and non-customers—because everyone deserves opportunities to learn and grow. One of the things e-learning professionals appreciate most about E-Learning Heroes is the supportive, respectful environment. To maintain this environment, we ask that you follow these simple guidelines along with our Terms of Use to make sure the community stays a safe place for everyone. Be transparent E-Learning Heroes is your go-to spot for developing your professional network. Follow these guidelines to participate in the community: Set up your community profile with your real name (not a pseudonym) Don't use any company logo, name, or product name in your profile name or photo (including Articulate's). Use one of the default avatars, a real photo of yourself, or another image that belongs to you as your profile photo. Avoid creating multiple profiles. Don’t share someone else’s work or content as your own. That’s plagiarism—and it’s not okay. Don’t use AI (Artificial Intelligence) to generate discussions or replies. Be respectful The E-Learning Heroes community welcomes people from all walks of life and we want everyone to feel safe sharing their perspectives. To do your part in creating this sense of safety, express your opinions and ideas in a way that’s kind, considerate, and professional: Never use explicit, offensive, or rude language. Avoid making accusations or insults directed at other community members or Articulate employees. Don’t repeatedly send messages to community members or Articulate employees about the same topic or continue to reach out after they’ve asked you to stop. Don’t use the community to hack or encourage others to disrupt or disable Articulate products or services. Before you post or send anything, think about how others could perceive it. With the real-time web, there is no “Undo” button. If something makes you even slightly uncomfortable, figure out what needs to be changed, fix it, then post. Remember: you’re legally responsible for any content you post and may be liable if your posts are found defamatory, harassing, or in violation of any applicable law or our Terms of Use. Be helpful The best communities are full of genuine people giving advice, support, and inspiration to one another out of the kindness of their hearts. Help us keep E-Learning Heroes the friendly, helpful space it’s always been. To do that, please don’t post or send messages that are: Duplicative. Unrelated to the discussion topic. Blatantly promotional or spammy. Keep it safe We want E-Learning Heroes to remain a trustworthy space for sharing. E-Learning Heroes members must be at least 18 years old and should never link to inappropriate, discriminatory, violent, or illegal content, viruses, or malware. Don’t share confidential or proprietary information The community is open to the public, so anyone with internet access can view anything you share. With this in mind: Don’t share contact information—whether yours or someone else’s—such as your phone number or address. Don’t share courses or files containing proprietary content you don’t have permission to share publicly. Articulate isn’t responsible for the security, confidentiality, or use of content you share on E-Learning Heroes. The Bottom Line To ensure our community continues to thrive, we reserve the right to delete content or close the E-Learning Heroes account of any member who doesn’t respect these guidelines.
