Articulate Presenter '13

Easy Authoring

PowerPoint Authoring

Transform your PowerPoint slides into presentation-based courses. With its newly streamlined user interface, Articulate Presenter '13 makes it even easier to author online courses, quizzes, and form-based interactions in the familiar PowerPoint environment.

Characters

Add photographic and illustrated characters to your course right from the Presenter character library. Choose from up to 47,500 combinations of characters, expressions, and poses.

Slide-Level Controls

It's simple to set slide properties for each slide in your course. In one window, you can create multilevel menus, branch learners based on their choices, identify presenters for each slide or your whole course, and more.

Annotations

Highlight important content with a range of annotations, including arrows, checkmarks, crosses, rectangles, and spotlights. Then adjust your annotation's size, color, and animation to make it your own.

Animations

Apply animations to animated GIFs, SmartArt, and to text - word-by-word or letter-by-letter. And because Presenter '13 now supports most of the animations in PowerPoint, you have more ways to bring text and objects to life.

Slide notes

Your slide notes display exactly as you design them. Presenter preserves all text formatting, paragraph breaks, colors, and even font styles.

Web Objects

Give your learners easy access to the web. Simply embed live web content in your course. It takes just seconds to add visually rich web-based applications, games, videos, reference material, and other web content to your Articulate Presenter course.

Custom Slide Sizes

Go big or small, portrait or landscape. Your choice. Articulate Presenter '13 supports custom slide sizes.

Media and Interactions

Audio and Narration

Add narration and sound to your slides by importing audio, or simply record it right in Presenter, then sync with slides and animations. And with the built-in editor, you can easily edit audio files - just click and drag on a visual of the track.

Video

Import videos in virtually any format, including those you make in Articulate Replay. You can also record video from your webcam, or easily embed it from websites such as YouTube. Then use the new video editor in Presenter to easily crop and trim your video, adjust the volume, or add a watermark or logo.

Engage Interactions

Capture learner attention with 20 different media-rich interactions. You build them in Articulate Engage by filling out a form, then just add them to your Presenter courses as slides or player tabs.

Flash

It takes just a few clicks to add Flash movies and interactive content - including SWF files, FLV files, and Captivate and Camtasia screencasts - to your Presenter course.

Slide Transitions

Presenter supports key slide transitions you build in PowerPoint. So now you can make slides fade, dissolve, zoom, and more.

Assessments

Quizmaker Quizzes

Use Articulate Quizmaker to create quizzes, surveys, and other assessments, including drag-and-drop questions. Then, seamlessly add them to your Presenter courses as slides or player tabs.

Branching

Branch learners to the content they need the most. Test them on how they'd handle a scenario, then take them to different slides depending on how they respond.

Player and Navigation

Unified Player

All Articulate Studio '13 products share a unified player. So if you add a Quizmaker assessment or Engage interaction to your course, learners can easily navigate using a single set of controls.

Customisable Player

Frame your course perfectly with a customized player. Use a polished color scheme or create a custom look to match slide content or your brand guidelines. You also have control over player layouts, text labels and language, player controls, and more.

Multilevel Navigation

Group your slides into sections and topics, then display how you've organized content in the menu.

Resume Course

Let your learners pick up where they left off, even when courses include Articulate Quizmaker '13 quizzes and Articulate Engage '13 interactions.

Multilingual Support

Customise your player for learners around the world. Choose from 28 built-in languages or add your own, thanks to the player's Unicode and double-byte character support.

Publishing

Publish to Flash, HTML5, and Mobile

Let learners view content wherever they are. Just build your course, then publish it to multiple formats so learners can view it on their desktops, laptops, iPads, and more. Presenter publishes to HTML5, Flash, and the Articulate Mobile Player, a native app that optimises content for iPads.

Turbo Publishing

Optimised Presenter publishing, so you can publish content up to five times faster.

Publish to Word

Make it easy for subject matter experts and others to review your courses by publishing them to Microsoft Word.

Tracking and Reporting

Presenter publishes Tin Can API-, SCORM-, and AICC-compliant content so it works seamlessly with learning management systems that support those standards. You can also publish to Articulate Online to cost-effectively track and report on assessment activity.
