The redesigned Articulate Studio ’13 player includes some great new updates that highlight the tighter integration between Articulate Quizmaker ’13, Articulate Engage ’13, and Articulate Presenter ’13. Here are three things you should know about the new player when publishing Quizmaker and Engage content into a Presenter project.

1. Fully Integrated Controls

Many rapid e-learning courses supplement PowerPoint content with quizzes and interactions authored in separate applications. Previously, adding content from Quizmaker or Engage created conflicting players because each application had their own set of controls.

The new player in Presenter ’13 instead provides a single, consistent set of integrated controls and menu items throughout the project. Now you can add as many quizzes and interactions as you want and still have an intuitive, learner-friendly course.

2. Better Course Menu Display Options

With Studio ’13, you can choose to show the individual questions or interaction steps in the course menu—or you can opt to hide them. It’s easy to specify whether your Quizmaker and Engage content will show in Presenter as a single item or as multiple items in the Quizzes and Interactions properties settings.

As you can see above, including your quiz questions as multiple items also enables the display of correct or incorrect status of each question, so learners can easily identify which questions they got right and wrong.

3. Resume Behavior Controls

In previous versions of Studio, the resume behavior was partly controlled by the Presenter player and partly controlled by embedded quizzes and interactions. Now, the process is simpler—just set it in the Presenter ’13 player and you’re good to go.

If you enable the resume feature in Presenter ’13, embedded quizzes and interactions will also resume. If you disable the resume feature in Presenter ’13, embedded quizzes and interactions will start fresh from the beginning when re-launching the course.
