Displaying Default Variable Value in the LMS
I have two queries: 1) To track the progress of my module, I've added a default variable, "Project.Progress," to the master slide. How can I ensure that the value of this variable is sent to the LMS if the user closes the course abruptly? I have set the status to be reported to the LMS as: Completed/Incomplete. 2) Is it possible to modify the manifest file to retrieve the value of this variable in the LMS?Reach360 - Certificate of Completion duration calculation
Good day, I have been tasked with reconciling and putting a detailed document together on the following. Accuracy of the duration recorded on the Certificate of Completion (CoC) document. Correct the CoC document currently duplicating the Duration. Point 1: When I extract a status report per learner, it shows a duration of, for example,05:27:32. (see image below). When I extract and analyse the report, the total does add up. See the image below. However, one lesson has a status in progress, which has also been completed later. Sub question:How do we get the 'in progress' to a completed status as it continuously restarts a new 'session'. When I hover over the Download Certificate option (see image below), the duration is correct, but it also includes the incomplete lesson. Sub-question: Why is the 'in progress time included? But when downloading, it shows a different duration. See the image below. Question: why does the duration differ when downloaded? Point 2: On the COC, the Duration is recorded twice. Why and how can it be corrected? Below are the settings on the COC settings. .Articulate, let's talk pricing...
With the recent release of AI-powered features, a new pricing model is now available for Articulate 360: Let’s take a look at what this actually includes: Storyline 360 with a few AI features: The industry-standard tool for e-learning designers. Some like to call it a "glorified PowerPoint," but it's undeniably powerful. Rise 360: A simplified, web-based version that’s easy to use. Stock Library: A collection of assets to enhance your projects. Screen Recorder: While functional, it's a bit outdated and lacks some advanced features. A few other smaller apps and a review tool to gather feedback. To give you some context, here’s how the pricing for Adobe Creative Cloud stacks up. This includes all the apps (except the 3D Substance suite) with AI functionality integrated into their key products like Photoshop, After Effects, Premiere, and more. Adobe’s offering is over $1,000 cheaper than Articulate’s new AI-feature pricing, per year! And that’s with access to a large suite of tools, many of them advanced and complex: Now, I understand software development isn’t cheap, and Articulate has a strong foothold in the e-learning market, which is fairly niche. But personally, the pricing feels very steep. What do you think? Let’s keep this conversation civil and focused on the topic please.Adjusting Pronunciation in AI Text-to-Speech Functionality
Hi everyone, Our team is currently evaluating the trial version of the AI text-to-speech functionality, and we’re impressed with its capabilities! However, we’re looking for a way to adjust how the voices and characters pronounce certain words, aside from modifying the stability, similarity, and style exaggeration settings. Does anyone know if there are additional options or settings available for customizing pronunciations? Any insights or tips would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!Articulate Status and Software
I'd like to open a conversation about disconnecting the use of Storyline from the need to constantly authenticate. I am currently in the middle of an important lesson that has a very specific amount of time budgeted for it, and have essentially been locked out of it. As a government contractor creating emergency training material for use in mission-critical space scenarios, I can't afford to keep defending the use of software that is controlled off-premises, and that can be shut down without warning. We have to fight to negotiate for the time and money to create critical training, and it is unhelpful to be signed out of or wholesale lose access randomly. This, the budding inclusion of AI tools, and the heightened need for cybersecurity awareness makes for a convincing argument to move to a different tool platform that does not need to call home to be used. Please consider giving us better options going forward, to ensure that this work stoppage does not hinder future project timelines.Articulate Sign in "Couldn't Open Port"
Launched my Storyline 360 desktop app and was prompted to sign in. Typically clicking 'sign-in' launches a browser window where I sign in and then have access on the desktop as well. Today I received the attached message in the application when I clicked sign-in. "Couldn't Open Port" "Unable to open a port for authentication responses." Steps taken: Closed out and relaunched desktop application Restarted entire computer and relaunched Went directly to Articulate360 website to sign in Got into website, but did not connect me to the desktop app. Peers in my organization are not experiencing the same issue. Thoughts? Thanks!Brief flash between slide layers
Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows what I could do to resolve this issue. I keep seeing all the items briefly flash at the beginning of every slide layer. I am not sure why this is. I've made sure these items do not have animations. I've made sure all transitions are "none." The slide properties that are currently checked are "hide other slide layers," "hide objects on base layer," and "prevent the user from clicking on other layer." The flashing is disruptive to the flow of the course because it makes it look like a slide header is reappearing over and over again when in fact, it is not. Could someone please give advice? Thank you!
