Adding Articulate Rise Features to Storyline

Aug 24, 2023

Does anyone know if it is possible to add rise features in storyline. IE, create the interactive elements within rise and then add these elements to the thing you are creating within storyline

The only way I know of to add interactions developed in Rise to Storyline is to publish them on the web and then insert them as web objects. 

That makes it possible. Whether it feels right within a course is a matter of opinion.

In Storyline, you publish for the web (https://community.articulate.com/series/articulate-storyline-360/articles/storyline-360-publishing-a-course-for-web-distribution ). The program puts the content in the folder you designate in the publishing window. 

It's up to you or your IT team to upload the published content to whatever web server is appropriate, such as the company intranet. That would determine the URL and who could access it. 

  • The web itself has lots of info about web servers, so you should be able to find any other info you need with a bit of googling.

Hi Jodie

This may, or may not, be helpful. We have been working on a project to incorporate RISE content under the LearnDash LMS. LearnDash is an LMS that operates as a plug-in to a WordPress website. So, basically, we wanted to run RISE within a website.

The courses actually contain some Storyline blocks, but the specification requires the RISE 'look and feel' i.e. more like a website than 'frame-based' as Storyline is AND with the same blocks and interaction features as RISE.

Our first pass was to create the course in RISE, including Storyline blocks where required, publish it to the web and then load it from the LMS by opening a new window in which the RISE course could run. For various reasons which are documented elsewhere on this site, we didn't like this approach. If the learner closes the window the status is difficult to preserve. Often the learner ends up being sent back to the beginning of the module.

Our next pass was to see if we could run the RISE course within a LearnDash course as a 'lesson' opening the RISE content in a 'iframe' within the LearnDash lesson page framework. Despite some technical issues we were able to get this running well....

BUT - we then realised that, with this approach, there wasn't any advantage in using RISE - (and here's my point in answer to your original question) - We could replicate All the RISE interactions using a web page builder within LearnDash. The screens are something like the attached sample where we have created a "Continue" bar that operates the same as RISE.

We have included features similar to Flash Cards, Image Grids, Image and text blocks, Quotations, Process flows etc  etc.

It isn't RISE running within Storyline as per your question - but it is a very similar set of features that work like RISE running alongside Storyline...
