Course identifier in Rise

Hi there

Please can someone provide some advice. My team are new to Rise. We currently use Articulate Storyline 3, 2 and Studio. 

When publishing a Rise course to SCORM 1.2 it creates a zip folder, however, with each re-publish of the same course (for fixes, additions, etc) the identifier for the course changes. Our LMS is hugely reliant on this ID being the same for tracking and reporting purposes. 

Would it work if we unzip the folder, update the identifier in the manifest.xml, then rezip the folder and publish on our LMS? This does seem like a rather manual and long away around. I can't see anywhere in Rise itself where you can specify what the ID should be like you can do in Storyline? 

Kind regards
Alyssa

  • Hi Nicole

    No. I had to go back to the original Rise version and manually copy the edits over. Then I changed the identifier. But that last step is something I've done for a long time, as a precaution.

    I think the key part of the fix was using the original version.

  • Nicole, I'd test it out. I didn't test each option. I did both. Copying over the identifier is super quick once you get the hand of it. I use 7Zip to edit the imsmanifest.xml files and copy the original identifier (from the version that works), then paste into the current version I'm about to upload. It's worth a try.

    <manifest identifier="xxx" version="1"

    I save the original identifier for a course in a text file with my SCORMs so it's ready for next time.
