Proofing tools specific for learning design:

12. Articulate Storyline 360 review functionality

It is built-in functionality of the Articulate storyline where you can ask for feedback for your articulate learning project. Comments are entered and recorded per slide, and the owner can reply, delete, resolve. It is a great functionality but unfortunately only limited to Articulate Storyline projects, and would not work with other interactive or multimedia content.

13. Review my Learning

It was recommended to me by someone online. I haven’t tested it yet, so I’m really interested in hearing from you! The website says that the platform works with: Adobe Presenter and Captivate, Lectora, Articulate Presenter and Storyline, iSpring, Ancile, uPerform and it is possible to request more. However, my first impression was that the interface looks a bit out-dated, plus, some pages I was redirected to, like the blog, were not secure. In terms of pricing, it can be tested for free as the basic package for one course is free.
