New features in Articulate 360

Let’s explore what’s new this quarter.

E-learning with Rise

Rise is the #1 software for creating online courses that work on every device. The intuitive, block-based authoring program makes course creation easy and fast—up to 9 times faster with integrated AI.

New in Rise

• Add lifelike narration with AI text-to-speech. Just type your script, choose a voice, and let AI handle the rest.
• Include audio in more places. Use your own files or AI-generated voiceover to add sound to 22 more blocks—the content sections that build each lesson.
• Make courses more accessible with audio transcripts. Automatically generate transcripts for any audio you add or write your own.
• Pick the perfect voice with the new voice library. Choose from thousands of AI voices, filterable by age, gender, use case, and more.
• Draft voiceover scripts in seconds. Use the AI script writer to create or refine text for AI-generated narration quickly.
• Support more learners with improved accessibility. Rise now works with Microsoft’s Narrator screen reader and Magnifier tool.

Storyline course authoring

Storyline is the top software for creating custom, interactive e-learning. With integrated AI, you can create courses faster than ever before. Storyline is the industry gold standard for building engaging, effective workplace courses.

New in Storyline

• Check accessibility as you build. The new Accessibility Checker helps identify issues based on WCAG guidelines, such as missing captions or limited playback settings.
• Create alt text and captions instantly. Use the AI Assistant to instantly generate alt text for images and captions for audio and video content.
• Support more learners. Storyline now works with Microsoft’s Narrator screen reader and Magnifier tool for improved accessibility.
• Fine-tune your design. Set exact values for how rounded your shapes and objects appear.
• Bring motion to your message. Choose from seven new animation effects—like bounce, float, and tilt—to highlight important text or objects on your slides.
• Combine shapes your way. The new Merge Shapes feature lets you combine basic shapes into custom, powerful designs.

Reach distribution

Reach is our integrated LMS that makes it easy to distribute and track your e-learning content securely.

New in Reach

• Update course records manually. When needed, enter quiz scores or completion dates yourself, right from the course or learner level.
