Articulate Storyline is a rapid development authoring tool to create eLearning courses with a single stand-alone product that does not require computer programming skills. Storyline has the ability to create virtually any type of interaction, conditional interactivity using variables, pre-built interactive objects (such as buttons, hot spots, data entry fields, mouse objects, markers, and lightboxes), screen recordings, and software simulations. In addition, Storyline is easily publishable to iPad and HTML5.
