There has been a lot of talk about the changes to Articulate 360 in recent weeks, with a bigger focus on AI. We have already adopted many AI tools as part of our workflow, but firmly believe that when it comes to learning design, human intervention is still so crucial in understanding the contextual nuances.

So for now it’s business as usual. The fundamental differences between Rise and Storyline haven’t changed, but now there are a few more tools at our disposal

Articulate Rise
• Quick to develop
• Mobile-friendly
• Good for content-heavy courses
• Quizzes and scenarios
• Interactive blocks

Articulate Storyline
• More advanced interactions
• Branching scenarios
• Gamified experiences
• Simulations
• Assessments

Your feedback is what helps turn a draft course into your course. Throughout a digital learning project, there are a number of points where we’ll ask you to review the work, and each stage asks for something slightly different.

Early on, we might need you to check the structure, tone and level of detail. Later, the focus often shifts to accuracy, layout, functionality and final refinements. That is why a clear review process helps, especially when several people are reviewing the same piece of content.

Our latest blog shares practical ways to make the review process clearer and easier to manage. It looks at how to give feedback that is easy to act on, how to involve the right people at the right time, and how to keep comments focused as the project moves from early ideas into final delivery.

Behind the scenes: our modular workflow
Every digital learning project we deliver is underpinned by a workflow built from over 600 individual steps, organised into 40 modular blocks.

Once a project is scoped, we tailor that workflow by selecting the modules relevant to the specific requirements. From there, we assess each step in detail, considering risks and special considerations, time required, task dependencies, the right person for the job, and review and amend cycles, among other things.

All of this is then mapped into our project management software, giving us full visibility and control to manage and monitor the project effectively throughout its lifecycle.

It's just one of the ways we make sure every project runs as efficiently and effectively as possible, without compromising on quality.

We love hearing about the impact of the projects we work on.

We recently received some fantastic feedback from Helen Keller International on the Vitamin A Supplementation course we developed together.

As of April 2026:
• 99.62% of learners agreed that the course provided a positive learning environment.
• 98.99% felt well prepared to confidently apply what they had learned to improve their performance.
• 99.24% agreed that the training met their needs and expectations.
• Learners also reported a +29.70% improvement in their self-estimated knowledge.

It’s always rewarding to see learning translate into real confidence and impact.

At the start of a project, there are a few things that can make everything that follows a little easier. A clear style guide is one of them.

Sharing your style guide at the beginning of a project helps everyone involved get on the same page. It can create greater consistency, reduce unnecessary revisions and give the project a clearer creative direction from day one.

In our latest blog, our Learning Design Lead, Zoe, explores why providing a style guide at the start of a project can make a real difference.

Feedback is one of the most important ways a project moves from a first draft to something clear, effective and ready to use.

But good feedback is about more than simply saying what you like or don’t like. When it’s clear, constructive and focused, it helps ideas develop, solves problems and keeps a project moving forward.

In our latest blog, our Learning Design Lead, Zoe, shares some practical tips for giving feedback that helps move a project forward.

Did you know that all our courses are now WCAG 2.2 AA compliant as standard?

Working largely with non-profit and public sector organisations, accessibility is usually high on the list of requirements, and it's something we're always happy to prioritise.

Our new templates and processes have helped us speed up production without ever compromising on accessibility standards. The result is courses that are fully compliant while still looking polished, staying consistent, and remaining functional and interactive for every learner.

Accessibility shouldn't be an afterthought; it should be built in from the start. That's exactly how we work.

A lot of what shapes effective digital learning comes down to small design decisions: how something is explained, how an activity is structured, how a question is written. They’re easy to overlook, but they make a significant difference to how the learning feels and how well it works.

We know that these kinds of decisions aren’t always easy to cover in a meeting or a quick email; they often need a bit more time to consider and reflect on properly. That’s one of the reasons we’ve started to share more of our thinking in our blog.

It brings together practical guidance from the work we do day to day, covering things like converting face-to-face courses into self-paced learning, writing for non-experts, and designing knowledge checks that genuinely support understanding. If you’re working on digital learning, it gives you the space to explore those ideas at your own pace.

At the start of a digital learning project, there are a few things you can share with us early on that help us hit the ground running. These are documents, guidance, and key information that give us a clear understanding of what we’re working with, how decisions should be made, and what the course needs to achieve. Having these in place early helps shape the design, supports clearer discussions, and gives the project a stronger sense of direction from the outset.
