Articulate

A learning management system (LMS) is software that delivers, tracks, and manages training programs. Articulate 360 creates SCORM and xAPI-compliant courses that integrate seamlessly with any learning management system, allowing organizations to track learner progress, completion rates, and assessment scores. The platform also offers Quick Share for instant course distribution without requiring LMS infrastructure, making it flexible for organizations at any stage of their learning technology adoption.

The AI Assistant in Articulate 360 reduces course creation time by up to 50% through automated draft generation, instant localization across 70+ languages, automatic caption creation for accessibility, AI-powered image generation, and animation production. This allows instructional designers and training professionals to focus on refining content strategy and learner engagement rather than manual content creation tasks, significantly improving productivity for learning content development teams.

Storyline 360 is a desktop application designed for creating highly customized, interactive learning experiences with complex branching scenarios, custom interactions, and advanced animations. Rise 360 is a cloud-based rapid authoring tool that uses proven responsive blocks and layouts to quickly build mobile-friendly courses without design expertise. Most organizations use both tools within their Articulate 360 subscription, choosing Storyline for complex custom projects and Rise for rapid content deployment and updates.

While Articulate 360 is primarily designed for workplace training and corporate learning management system solutions, it can be adapted for K-12 and higher education contexts. The platform's responsive design, accessibility features, and engaging interactive capabilities make it suitable for creating digital learning content for students. However, educational institutions should evaluate whether the pricing model and feature set align with their specific pedagogical needs compared to dedicated K-12 learning management systems.

Articulate 360 includes priority customer support, success team health checks for Teams plans, and access to the E-Learning Heroes community with over 1 million members. This community provides peer support, downloadable templates, best practice articles, and weekly challenges for creating digital learning content. Additionally, subscribers receive regular product updates, training webinars, and access to 13 million+ stock assets including photos, templates, characters, and proven course layouts that accelerate the learning content development process.

Articulate 360 offers four annual subscription tiers as of 2026: Standard Personal at $1199 per user for individual creators, AI Personal at $1449 with AI features, Standard Teams at $1499 with collaboration tools, and AI Teams at $1749 combining AI and team capabilities. Teams plans add collaborative editing, shared content libraries, Team Slides, account management, and success team health checks. All plans include unlimited storage, priority support, and access to the full suite of authoring tools, with a 30-day free trial available to evaluate the platform.
