Rise 360: Branded Portfolio - E-Learning Examples

Brand standards are sometimes seen as a frustrating limitation. But as this portfolio by Mat King shows, a more limited set of colors, fonts, and design choices doesn’t have to lead to dull-looking e-learning. In fact, those guidelines have the potential to help your project look pulled together while still leaving lots of room for creative choices.

Shared at DevLearn’s 2023 DemoFest, this Rise 360 project showcases the new technologies and design capabilities Mat and his team have used in their projects. The collection of images, interactions, and videos make it easy to see how branding guidelines apply to different mediums. They also demonstrate eye-catching ways to push the envelope within those rules. And by collecting these examples in a similarly branded Rise 360 course, course creators have a one-stop shop for ideas and inspiration!

How did you add a video instead of a cover page?

Hi, Great template. Is it possible to share the rise template to be able to see how you build it. For example, what block did you choose to create the title Overview ?

Hi Sam, the animated blocks (overview) were made in After Effects and exported as animated gifs.

Hamza - They're using a GIF file for the course image on the cover page. Go to course > Theme > Cover Page > click Edit on Course Image. From here you can add a GIF and it will show on your cover page. Hope that helps!

Mat! This course is GORGEOUS. Love all the AE gifs. I wish we had a Synthesia account. I create courses in Storyline and dislike having to use Rise but you've really inspired me here!

Hi, I love this example. Rise is my favorite! I have been considering creating my own portfolio and worry about using samples from the courses that I have created, because of the company logo. Do you have any advice?

Hi Amanda. I created mine for WM to show clients what is possible. I changed most of the text to lorem ipsum to avoid showing any proprietary information. Hope this helps!

Hi Amanda. Adding on to what Mat said, I've seen a lot of people make adapted versions of courses for their portfolios that change or strip out any proprietary or confidential company information. I think lots of hiring managers recognize that we can't always show off all our work because of company privacy. And adapted courses that sidestep privacy problems but still show off your eLearning design and development skills will usually still give them the information they need to get a sense of your fit for their team.
