Both programs are well worth having.
If you can make your trainging needs fit into the Articulate framework, then Articulate is perfect. It will probably give you 90% of what you need and it is pretty easy to use.
On the other hand, if you might need to do some custom programming involving variables, then Lectora is a must have. If you are afraid of backing yourself into a corner by using a program that might have limitations, then you should use Lectora instead of Articulate.
I use both and decide which to use based on the requirements of the project.
peregrinator said:I'm doing some research to determine if I should purchase Articulate as well as Lectora. If you're familiar with Lectora, you know that it has a lot of cool capabilities, some of which are not possible in Articulate, though perhaps that should be followed by the word "yet." It seems to me that Articulate has a much shorter learning curve and is still more appropriate for certain kinds of presentations and trainings, perhaps even self-paced "train the trainer" presentations. How might I just the purchase of both to my boss or should I bother to get both?
