Creating and Sharing Articulate 360 Content with EdTech

What is Articulate 360?

Articulate 360 is a suite of authoring tools for e-learning content development, including:

  • Storyline 360 is an e-learning authoring tool that allows users to create interactive courses with features like branching scenarios in a slide-based format.
  • Rise 360 is a web-based tool designed for course development, offering mobile-friendly learning experiences with a template-driven approach for faster creation.

The UBC Faculty of Medicine Education Technology (EdTech) team supports staff, faculty and students with storing and migrating learning materials onto supported platforms. Projects using the Articulate Storyline 360 and Articulate Rise 360 tools are accommodated on a case-by-case basis. To collaborate with the EdTech team, it is important to give the correct permissions in order for our team to edit, publish and download the file to be loaded onto Entrada.
