Articulate Studio

Articulate Studio is a user-friendly and reliable tool for course authoring. If you have the basic information and practice of using MS PowerPoint than it would be very easy for you to begin using Articulate Studio. The whole interface and layout are similar to that of MS PowerPoint. The another thing I love about this tool is that there are 30 days free trial for the new users. When I was wondering which course authoring software to buy for my company, I took a trial of this tool and trust me I didn't even feel the need to try any other software and directly purchased it after completing the free trial.

Although I like this tool the most in this genre but there are a few cons which let me down. The options of templates in this software are very less. Even the animated characters are also missing whereas the use of such characters make your presentations look more appealing. Another disheartening factor is that whenever you are updating the software the tool becomes very slow which obviously any professional person or organisation cannot afford as it wastes the time. This software is not at all meant for large sized businesses though it is an ideal one for small and medium-sized enterprises.

All in all, I would say that Articulate Studio is a highly efficient, convenient and candid tool to be used for Course authoring needs. Using this tool is quite easy because of the very simple interface of the MS PowerPoint. The software is very reasonable and being a cloud-based deployment can be conveniently used from any device and from any place, the only thing you need is a working Internet connection. I would recommend it for small and medium sized companies and if you have doubt on its workability you can anyways try the free trial version of 30 days and can yourself make up your mind.
