Working in e-learning can sometimes feel like taking on a lot.

But you’re not alone! The E-Learning Heroes community can support every aspect of your work and career. So take a peek at some of the exciting ways this community—and its one million plus members—can ease your load. 1. Get help fast If something isn’t working as expected or you feel stumped on a challenge, the community has your back. You can get speedy access to Articulate staff and other e-learning professionals through our discussion boards. There’s one for questions about the Articulate apps and another for general e-learning design and development questions. No matter what work challenges you’re facing, there’s a place to ask for advice. And that’s not your only option. The E-Learning Heroes website has a wealth of articles that can help you troubleshoot tricky situations. So whether you’re trying to figure out how Storyline 360’s slide layer properties work or looking for tricks for making collaborating with subject matter experts easier, the community has articles that can help! 2. Speed up your workflow with free resources Thankfully, you don’t have to start from scratch every time you create a new project. With hundreds of free interaction templates, images, buttons, and more available in the Downloads section on E-Learning Heroes, it’s easy to find resources to make course development faster. Not only that, but you’ll also find course design resources like storyboard templates and project management tools. 3.
