Adding a Rise course to Blackboard

Hi Anthony and Ramesh

Am sure you've probably worked this out but thought I'd add it for anyone else looking to undertake this. I too am interested in the seamless fit. I don't want additional windows opening (and more importantly the students don't) so I have the below methodology. 

Ramesh, to clarify you won't be able to embed the Rise outputs in an item as you would a SL output as its a different type of tool and displays different, but you can have them as a link that will open in the same frame as Blackboard.

1) Export the Rise course as SCORM as 1.2 and ensure you choose "Exit Course Link" (You need to use 1.2 as 2004 v4 doesn't allow you to exit the course and return to the LMS unless you click back a load of times which is really rubbish).

2) Go to the Content Area you want to put the resource, import the Rise course into Blackboard via Build Content, choosing how you want to setup grading

3) When you've deployed in Blackboard, return to the SCORM item and hit the action arrow and "edit".

4) On the options page, choose "Edit SCORM Player behaviour" YES radio button

5) In launch behaviour, choose "frameset" and "frameset" from the two dropdowns

6) Test as a member of staff to make sure it launches. When you know it launches, click "Exit Course" in the top right and you'll be returned to the launch page. Be warned though, it won't remember you've attempted the course each time you enter it as a member of staff. 

7) Click "Enter Student Preview" and test as a student would. Click "Exit Course" in the top right and you'll be returned to the launch page. This will remember where you left off each time.

I hope that helps and makes sense. 

Cheers

Nick
