An Overview of Articulate Rise and Storyline Features

Articulate has been busy rolling out a host of new AI-powered features across its tools, Rise 360 and Storyline 360. While some features are available in both, others are exclusive to one or the other. However, when deciding between Rise and Storyline, the presence of AI features shouldn’t be your sole consideration. If you’re still deciding between the two, check out A Tale of Two Authoring Tools: Rise vs. Storyline to help make your decision easier.

Today, I’m going to dive into the specific AI features you can expect from each tool and how they align with different roles. Whether you’re an instructional designer or a media developer, these AI tools could transform your workflow. Let’s explore what’s available to you!

Which Features are available in which tool?

Both Rise and Storyline	Rise only	Storyline only
Write and Edit Inline Image Generation Quiz Generation Summary Generation AI Video (coming soon according to the Articulate 360 Feature Roadmap)	Block Generation Block Editing (the ability to edit content sections (blocks) within a slide) Magic Text Import (quickly paste existing text from another document into your course) Quick Block Conversion Knowledge Check Generation Course Outline Generation Course AI Settings	Question Generation Text-to-Speech Sound Effects

Which features are most appropriate for which role?

If you’re a “one person band” who does instructional design and media development, you’ll likely find all of these features useful. Otherwise, here’s what you’re likely to use based on your role.

Instructional Designer	Media Developer
Course Outline Generation Write and Edit Inline Quiz Generation Summary Generation Magic Text Import Block Generation Block Editing Quick Block Conversion Knowledge Check Generation Question Generation Image Generation AI Video (when available)	Text-to-Speech Image Generation Quick Block Conversion Sound Effects AI Video (when available)

It’s clear from this division that Articulate has put a lot of effort into making Rise and Storyline easy for instructional designers. This likely reflects the fact that media developers already have a bevy of other online tools for audio, graphics, and video that include AI features, such as Adobe Creative Cloud.

You can hear more about these new features and some of the results of ILG’s testing, in our latest Let’s Talk Learning Technology podcast: Unpacking New AI Features in Articulate Storyline and Rise.

While the decision between Rise and Storyline shouldn’t be based solely on their AI capabilities, being aware of the specific features in each can certainly help you save time and effort. I hope I’ve helped you navigate the AI options available, and you’re able to put them to work to create outstanding learning experiences. Best of luck on your journey!
