Elucidat sits between Articulate Storyline and Rise, offering the best of both worlds. Like Articulate, Elucidat provides two tools, Author and Create, which are designed to support different types of content creators.

Author is ideal for experienced instructional designers who want full control over custom interactions and tailored learning experiences, but without the steep learning curve of Storyline. It’s browser-based, easy to pick up, and built for modern teams.

Create, on the other hand, empowers anyone, especially Subject Matter Experts, to produce scalable, on-brand elearning fast. It offers more flexibility and customization than Rise, while still being quick and simple to use.

Because Elucidat is cloud-based, it also supports seamless collaboration, real-time updates, and enterprise-ready features like localization, brand governance, and content reuse – making it a better fit for organizations creating high volumes of elearning at scale.
