When is articulate storyline coming out

Add interactive dials to let learners manipulate data, explore cause-and-effect relationships, control objects and navigation, and more. Choose from a gallery of customizable dials or create your own with shapes and pictures. Slider Interactions. Quickly add a slider interaction to let learners manipulate data, explore cause-and-effect relationships, control objects and navigation, and more. Create interactivity in seconds with push buttons, radio buttons, and checkboxes.

Push buttons are now available with square or rounded corners. Add hover-and-reveal and click-and-reveal callouts to your course quickly. Simply place a marker on a slide and choose the images, pop-up text, or videos you want to be displayed.

Make any portion of an object clickable by layering an invisible hotspot over it and triggering it to respond to learners' actions. Present any type of content in an easy, compelling way by triggering lightboxes to pop up when a learner clicks certain objects or player tabs.

Data-Entry Fields. Gather learner names and other information, then present those details throughout your course to make it feel personal. Mouse Objects. Add mouse cursors to your screenshot demo or software simulation to create a moving mouse effect. Customize how they sound, look, and move across the screen.

Scrolling Panels. Add scrolling panels to let learners explore large images or text boxes without leaving the slide. Screen Recording. Show learners exactly what you want them to grasp by recording your screen. Insert your recording into a slide as a demo, trial, assessment, or video, then easily add captions, characters, and zoom-and-pan effects.

Software Simulations. Create software simulations, demos, and tests faster than ever. Storyline 3 segments your activity into multiple step-by-step tutorials that you can edit without re-recording. Let learners watch how to do a task in View mode, apply their knowledge in Try mode, and assess their skills in Test mode. Action Fine Tuning. Fix mistakes, make edits, and even change the starting and ending frames in your screen recording, all without affecting the original video file or needing to re-record.

Multimedia Support. Easily create, import, and edit video, audio, and images, without complex conversions or encoding. And use broadcast-level audio optimization for consistent volume throughout a course. Record or import any video and then set it to play automatically or include player controls. Use the built-in editor to crop, trim, adjust volume, or even add a watermark. Choose whether or not to compress videos in your published courses.

Web Objects. Bring the power of the web to your course. Quickly and easily embed web-based applications, games, videos, reference materials, and much more. Screenshot Tool. Add screenshots to your course in seconds, without ever leaving Storyline 3. Form-Based Questions. Easily assess your learners' progress. Choose from 20 predefined, form-based questions to build quizzes in seconds. Freeform Questions. Turn objects on your slide into an engaging, decision-making activity, without any programming.

Negative Scoring. Easily create more accurate testing by subtracting points from learners' scores when they answer incorrectly. Question Import.

Don't start every assessment from scratch if you don't have to. Import questions from Excel or text files you get from a database or subject-matter experts. Question Banks. Easily group and manage the questions in your course by pooling them in banks, which can be randomized or even imported into other courses for reuse.

Result Slides. Add a result slide after each assessment to give learners feedback on their quiz results. Use the new design features to make your result slides match your course theme. Multiple Quizzes. Test learners whenever and wherever you want in your course, such as at the end of every section. Choose to submit a combined score or a final quiz score to Articulate Online or your learning management system LMS. Responsive Player.

The new responsive player for Storyline 3 dynamically adapts to different tablets and smartphones, providing an optimized view of your course on every device, without any manual tweaking. It fluidly responds to different mobile screen sizes and orientations, hiding sidebar menus, eliminating browser chrome, and delivering mobile-friendly playback controls.

Responsive Preview. See how your course will look and behave on any device and in any orientation without leaving Storyline. Just click the device icons on the new responsive preview toolbar. Responsive Playback Restrictions. Control which mobile device orientations learners can use to view your course. For example, if you build a course that works best in landscape mode, restrict playback to landscape orientation on tablets and smartphones.

HTML5 Gestures. We've optimized the new responsive player for touch control. It supports touchscreen gestures—such as swiping, dragging, and pinch-to-zoom—in HTML5 output on tablets and smartphones.

Customizable Player Settings. Easily customize features, text labels, fonts, and other settings for the player that frames your course. HTML5 Output. Publish your course with a single click to HTML5 output that works beautifully in all major browsers on desktop computers and mobile devices.

Tracking and Reporting. Publish Scenes or Slides. Publish only what you need. Rather than publishing an entire course, you can publish specific scenes or slides for content reviewers or to create multiple courses from the same project file.

Language Support. Storyline 3 supports right-to-left scripts—such as Hebrew and Arabic—and double-byte character sets DBCS —such as Chinese and Japanese—so you can deliver content in any language. Translation Support. Export all text from your course to Microsoft Word or XML, translate it, then import it back in with all formatting preserved.

Publish to Microsoft Word. Publish courses to Microsoft Word for easy copy review and to address Sarbanes-Oxley Act and Section accessibility requirements. WCAG 2. Section Support. Storyline 3 supports Section accessibility guidelines so you can empower all learners to have accessible and enjoyable learning experiences. Accessible Text. Let learners with accessibility needs change the visual appearance of text to make it more readable in your published courses.

Accessible Semantic Formatting. Text publishes with the proper semantic formatting for headings, links, lists, and other elements so screen reader users can explore content easily.

Fixed: If a layer appeared while learners were tabbing through objects on a slide, the yellow focus indicator would jump back to the first object on the slide.

Fixed: We fixed some video issues, including volume sliders that stopped working and closed captions that disappeared.

Enhanced: Storyline 3 users can now open Storyline project files that use the modern player style.

Many modern web browsers don't allow you to programmatically control the size of the browser window unless you first open content in a new window.

Fixed: We improved the performance of the Storyline editor so it no longer slows down when multiple slide layers are visible at the same time. Fixed: Audio on the first slide of an HTML5 course wouldn't autoplay when viewing the published output on your local computer in Google Chrome.

If audio or video content in your Storyline course stopped working in Chrome 66, install the latest update and republish.

Enhanced: Since Apple no longer allows videos to autoplay by default in Safari 11, learners now see a play button when they launch or resume a course with a video on the first slide. Clicking the play button allows the video to play as expected. Fixed: Storyline could become sluggish or display a low memory error, especially after several hours of use. We found a memory leak and fixed the problem. We're sorry for the frustration it caused.

And thank you to everyone who reported it! Fixed: Closed captions could overlap for back-to-back audio clips on the same slide, and hidden characters in closed captions could cause the publishing process to fail. Fixed: File names wouldn't appear when hovering over audio tracks in the timeline panel. Fixed: Player text labels had incorrect Czech translations. March 6, Build 3.

Fixed: We fixed some drag-and-drop issues in HTML5 output, such as drag items that wouldn't drop on targets, interactions that were marked as correct even when learners answered incorrectly, and hover colors that were wrong. Fixed: We fixed some triggers that didn't work consistently in HTML5 output, including key-press, hover, and click-outside triggers that didn't fire when expected. Fixed: We fixed some HTML5 quizzing issues, such as the Review Quiz button not working when a course was set to never resume, matching drop-down choices that overlapped during quiz review, and question banks that displayed the same set of questions after three quiz attempts.

Fixed: We fixed some issues with HTML5 output in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge, such as flickering that appeared when navigating between slides and crashing that occurred when text had shadow effects.

Fixed: Lots of videos in a course could cause slides to lag or lock up in HTML5 output, and they could be sized or positioned incorrectly during preview. Fixed: Audio continued to play in HTML5 output when switching to another browser tab, causing animations to become unsynchronized. Fixed: Zoom regions wouldn't work in HTML5 output when they were set to start at the beginning of slides, and they wouldn't always return to their initial states when revisiting slides.

Fixed: Data-entry fields didn't have focus when slides loaded in HTML5 output, so learners had to click inside them before entering text. Fixed: We fixed some issues that could occur after upgrading project files to Storyline 3, such as blank slides, white borders around slides, and brief flashes or flickers between slides in HTML5 output.

Fixed: In the responsive mobile player, the seekbar was interactive even when it should have been read-only and the course menu would sometimes jump to the wrong slide. Fixed: Closed captions in Flash output didn't display special characters, such as accented letters and apostrophes, and the captions were the wrong size after changing the player font size. Fixed: We fixed some LMS issues, including accented letters in course titles that were replaced by question marks in SCORM output and courses tracked by the number of slides viewed reporting a Passed status rather than a Completed status.

Fixed: When the audio editor was zoomed in, you couldn't always delete portions of the waveform, and the waveform might be out of sync with the audio. September 11, Build 3. Fine-tune imported captions or quickly add new ones with the help of caption placeholders that are already synced with your audio and video content. New: Localization just got easier. Enhanced: When you restrict or lock navigation, you can now choose whether it impacts just the course menu or also disables the Previous and Next buttons.

And you can use triggers to override restricted navigation for individual slides. Fixed: JAWS screen readers wouldn't always read text in the notes panel. Fixed: Text would sometimes be missing after importing a translated Word document.

Fixed: Sometimes Storyline would detect missing fonts when opening a project file even though the fonts were installed on the computer. June 13, Build 3. Tables are a valuable accessibility feature, communicating to screen readers how data is organized and providing context for learners. Fixed: Storyline would crash when publishing on some computers with non-English system locales. Fixed: A slider's yellow sizing handles wouldn't change the size of the track or thumb as expected.
