Embedding Rise output/link into Canvas LMS
Hello, I am new to Rise and Canvas and before progressing with the course build I need to know if these programs are compatible. Apparently Canvas is not SCORM or AICC compliant. I would prefer to h...
Thanks, Tim. I did try the iframe and it worked just fine. I wasn't pleased with the look of the dual navigation of Canvas and Rise. Not sure that will change but I would like the option to remove the Rise menu, as you can do in Storyline.
Until then, we will either link to a new window or use the iframe.
Question: you said you "export our Rise courses as web links, upload them to our server, and embed them within Canvas either as an outside link or in the rich text editor through an iframe." Why do you take the extra step and put them on your server instead of leaving them on the Articulate server? Were you encountering problems?
You have quite an undertaking with all those courses! Good luck!
We use Amazon Web Services (AWS) to host our content. Placing the Rise content there offers a couple advantages:
- It allows us to have a permanent, stable link that is accessible by more than just the creator of the original Rise course (we have a team of editors/technologists that need access to all content)
- It gives us two copies of the Rise course:
- A live version on AWS that projects out to all courses/students
- A development version in Rise that can be updated throughout the year, then uploaded to the AWS whenever we deem it ready for students
We also host most of our other content (videos, syllabi, worksheets, etc.) on the AWS, so it was simply consistent for us to put Rise there, too. We had no problems with the Rise server.
Thanks, Tim. That makes a lot of sense.
Continued good luck!
Hello Tim,
We use a similar setup . . . we have an issue where students have to manually navigate back to where they left off in the rise content. Am I missing something in the export settings or is there another trick? This isn't an issue with storyline content as you can just set it up resume where the user left off, but I don't see such an option with rise.
Hi Chris,
Are you also exporting for Web or are you using an LMS option? If you're hosting in an LMS, Rise should be resuming to where the learner left off as long as your LMS supports that behavior.
If you're hosting in a web server, we don't have an explicit resume option you can enable in Rise (which we do have in Storyline), so it would likely start the user over accessing the course.
