Re-skill vs Articulate
Articulate 360 is a per-seat authoring suite, now with AI built in. Re-skill builds the whole course from your own documents, checks it against them and delivers it into your LMS once a person on your team approves it.
Articulate
A seat-licensed authoring suite that now generates content and avatar video. Frontline turns a file into a kit of short pieces shared by link; per their plan table it does not export SCORM.
Re-skill
The whole course from your own documents: lessons, narrated video, quizzes and slides, checked against your sources, approved by a named person and exported into your LMS at a rate card you read first.
| Articulate | Re-skill | |
|---|---|---|
| What you start with | A blank slide, a prompt, or a file from your drive | The policies, manuals and wikis you already hold, connected read-only |
| What you get | Screens you author, or a kit of short pieces shared by link | A whole course: curriculum, lessons, narrated avatar video, quizzes, slides |
| The fortieth course | Looks like whoever built it that day | Built from the same confirmed brand, vocabulary and rules as the first |
| Checked against the source | Review comments from colleagues before launch | An internal check flags anything your documents do not support |
| Who signs it off | Whoever publishes | A named person on your team, on record, before a learner sees it |
| Languages | Translated after building into 80+ languages, metered per character | Arabic, Russian, English and any language you request, written and narrated in that language |
| Into your LMS | Frontline shares by link; SCORM, xAPI and cmi5 need Articulate 360 | The whole course as SCORM 1.2, SCORM 2004, cmi5 or xAPI, quizzes included |
| What it costs | Seats plus credits; per their support site, avatar video is 1,000 credits a minute, credits expire with the term, and credit features stop when they run out | Authors plus credits at one published rate card, pooled, alerts at 70, 90 and 100 percent, never a hard stop, never per learner |
| Proof it worked | Completion, surveys and tutor questions, per their site | Next on the roadmap: verified skills and your own KPI, read at 60 days |
Choose Articulate when
You want to build bespoke interactions yourself in Storyline, which it does well, or a quick kit shared by link is enough.
Choose Re-skill when
You owe the business courses and have the documents but not the studio, and every course has to match, be signed off and land in your LMS.
"Re-skill gave us one platform to create courses quickly and track progress across our 1,000 employees. It's now a core part of how we run L&D."

Questions
It starts from the same place, a file in, and it can reach your drive too. What comes out differs: a full course rather than a kit, the same standard on every course rather than whatever the author did that day, a check against the source, a named approval on record, and one SCORM package in your LMS. Per their plan table, Frontline does not export SCORM, xAPI or cmi5.
Generation is the floor now; every tool has it. Re-skill is for what comes after: the fortieth course matching the first, every screen checked against your documents, a named approval on record, Arabic written and narrated natively rather than translated, and one package in your LMS at a rate card you saw before you built.
Today: completion and scores in your LMS, and a named approval on every screen. Next on the roadmap: an outcome report against the number you already track, trained group against not yet trained, read at 60 days. We label it next because it is not shipped.
Keep them for bespoke interactions; Storyline is good at that. Bring Re-skill the documents behind your compliance and onboarding backlog and see what comes back in 30 minutes.
