E-Learning Authoring Tools: Articulate Hosting & Sharing

Creating an online course on a budget?

Articulate 360 is known to be expensive.

They also have a 30-day free trial and 50% off for educators.

If you get access to the Articulate 360 suite and its Rise 360 e-learning course design tool, you can create a course, export it to HTML, and host it automatically on Tiiny.host.

There is no need to keep the expensive Articulate subscription going. Based on your needs, you may lose some tracking functionality, but you may not need it.

I will show you how to host and share your course over the long term while saving money.

Let’s get started.

Articulate excels at designing custom training applications. It’s popular in business, academic, and government settings.

Articulate (pronounced ar-TICK-you-late) offers an expansive suite of easy-to-use course creation tools. Rise 360 and Storyline are two of the most powerful. They produce beautiful and functional courseware.

With them, you create interactive and engaging e-learning content.

A non-technical instructional designer or content specialist can begin from scratch or quickly use a template to assemble content that has pre-programmed interactivity and media support.

If you choose to continue paying the subscription fee, you can also host your courses on Articulate’s platform. But you don’t have to.

I’ll use this ability to demonstrate the exporting, hosting, and sharing features of simple, professional, and low-cost Tiiny.host.

Exporting your Articulate Course to HTML

Let’s assume that you’ve registered for a 30-day Articulate free trial. Using Rise 360, you’ve created a course.

Let’s export it and host it on Tiiny.host.

From your Rise 360 course dashboard, choose the Publish menu option. Then click Web.

Depending on the size of your course, it may take a little time to prepare your file.

When the file dialog opens, save the zip file to your storage.

You’re now ready to host and share your course automatically in seconds.

Hosting Your Course with Tiiny.host
