Avid Technology Keeps Skills Sharp for 1000+ Learners With Articulate 360

The Challenge

Avid needed to keep skills fresh and creativity high for both employees and customers

• Avid needed to adapt traditional instructor-led courses to e-learning content available on demand, worldwide, on any device. They also needed to customize and deliver their training in ways that accommodate a wide range of needs. 
• They faced challenges with their legacy systems and processes that didn’t meet their current needs—and the rapidly evolving technology of their industry required training with quick development time and easy deployment. 
• They needed the ability to collaborate in real-time between instructional designers, staff, and subject matter experts from across the organization.

The Answer

With Rise 360, Avid created responsive, intuitive, and engaging e-learning

Avid gravitated to Articulate 360—and the Rise 360 authoring tool in particular—for the platform’s extensive authoring capabilities and intuitive features. Using Rise 360, Avid’s curriculum development team creates responsive e-learning right from a web browser. Multiple authors can work on online content creation simultaneously, cutting down on the time it takes to develop courses. 

Curtis Poole, Director of Curriculum Development at Avid, is enthusiastic about what Articulate 360 can do for both course creators and learners—so much so that he says he’d “recommend Articulate 360 to anyone.” 

From an authoring perspective, he especially appreciates the platform’s course creation tools, along with the variety of stylish design elements and effects at a creator’s disposal. “The minute they start working with it, they discover it’s easy,” he says, pointing out that development time has gone down, and “even veteran course designers who might be skeptical of new ways of doing things are enjoying the modern creation experience.”
