Advanced Catalog
Utilize our new customizable Advanced Catalog and Product Discounting features to sell your courseware. The Advanced Catalog was developed with improved SEO and more comprehensive search capability. You can also display featured, recommended and most popular products, and include product categories. Additional novelties include the ability to combine multiple products into bundles for packaged deals. And if you want to have a sale… no problem! Provide a price or percentage discount on any of your products.
Work History Learning Item
The Work History learning item allows you to track, verify and recognize learners’ work experience/hours. This can especially be used for apprenticeship, continuing education and/or certification requirements. Include this as a learning item in your next learning path!
Organization Management
You may now structure your Organizations in a hierarchy with parent and multiple sub-organizations. The Organization Administrator role was also expanded to better manage the learners in their organization.
Enhanced Exam Functionality
Further customize your exams by setting up forms from a question bank that can be used for different exam attempts.

Industry Trends
In 2024 we’re seeing a continued focus on personalized and on-demand learning where learners are accessing information when and how they need it. A lot of our work is also centering on making eLearning more interactive - learner engagement doesn’t mean asking them to click buttons, it means drawing them into a virtual world where they are invested in the story being told and constantly engaged with the screen.
To that end, we are integrating additional applications with the Articulate Storyline suite of products we use to create most of our eLearning courses in order to fully engage the learner. Our Writers and Instructional Designers work hand in hand with our eLearning Developers to not only create graphical animations that can be used to help visually explain complicated concepts, but also animated scenarios that can walk the learner through real life situations, putting them into someone else’s shoes and asking them to choose the best course of action.
Today’s learners demand more, and we’re happy to oblige, with visually dynamic, intriguing online learning!
