Since the Articulate Online beta launch (and subsequent release) I have moved some of the presentations (Articulate Video Examples, Custom Color Schemes) that I have previously posted on my website to Articulate Online to take advantage of Articulate Online's reports.

The reports that Articulate Online offers are by far one of the most visually appealing set of reports offered by any LMS or LMS-like system on the market.

Articulate Online also allows you to export any of the reports to PDF, CSV or XML...which is pretty sweet, because I can take the PDF and email it to a colleague, take the CSV or XML and import those results into a database or into another program.

Example exports of the Progress Report for my Custom Color Schemes presentation:

Progress Report PDF

Progress Report XML

Progress Report CSV

As you can see from the reports above, the progress report shows me how far the viewers of my presentation have progressed, and where the average person stops viewing (slide 7) my presentation. This can be useful in determining where my users are losing interest in the presentation.

The Progress Report is just one of the 12 reports that Articulate Online offers. The reports tell you virtually everything you could ever want to know about how your students are viewing your presentations, and taking your quizzes.

So if you haven't checked out Articulate Online yet, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial account at http://www.articulate.com/free.aspx.

Also, if you haven't already seen them, the demos of Articulate Online created by Alli Starr are pretty awesome. You can find them here.
