The ACHP has developed current courses in Articulate Studio ’09 Pro and Articulate Rise 360, output compatible with SCORM, HTML, and PDF. Reach 360 access would add to existing Articulate products in use. This addition would make the upload process seamless as Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) already understand Articulate’s products. ACHP requires three
