We're excited to introduce Connected Packages, a new, more modern way to publish and maintain LMS content directly from Rise, is now available in Labs.
What Is Connected Packages?
Connected Packages is a new LMS publishing method that lets you upload content once and maintain it without repeating the full publish-and-upload process.
If you’ve experienced the process of updating a course that’s already in your LMS, whether it’s addressing a simple typo or transforming the entire content, you know the hassle. Re-exporting the package, downloading, and re-uploading it to your LMS, all while handling version updates. It works, but for teams maintaining many courses, it creates real overhead.
Connected Packages changes that workflow.
Instead of bundling your full course into a static file every time something changes, Connected Packages allows you to upload a lightweight LMS package to your LMS once. Your course content is hosted by Articulate and delivered to learners when they launch from the LMS. When you need to make updates, just modify the hosted content; there's no need to re-export and re-upload the whole package from scratch.
It works with your existing SCORM-based LMS workflows, so there's no overhaul required. Just a simpler, more efficient way to keep your training current.
When to Use Connected Packages
Connected Packages is a great fit for teams who:
- Maintain courses that need frequent updates
- Work with media-rich or large courses where file size has been a friction point
- Manage large libraries of LMS-delivered content
- Want to reduce the repetitive work of exporting and re-uploading whenever something changes
If your team's goal is to keep training accurate and up to date without adding more operational overhead, this was built with you in mind.
A Few Things to Know
Connected Packages is launching in Labs, which means we're still building out the full feature set. For now, robust version history isn't yet supported. If your workflow requires tracking every course version tied to a specific learner record for audit purposes, traditional LMS publishing is still the right fit for that use case. We'll keep improving Connected Packages based on your feedback as we move through Labs.
