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...
I know I'm late to the party, but our school uses Canvas and I thought I'd chip in with some tips for implementing Rise content in Canvas. We're using Rise to replace all our lesson content in Canvas, which is about 14,000 lessons. At this time we've converted around 2,700 lessons. My advice:
- We're moving away from SCORM because we've found that it can break during the Course Copy process.
- Additionally, we'd rather assess students directly in the LMS (especially with Quizzes.Next now available).
- Finally, I've been told SCORM hasn't been updated very recently - another reason to move away as technology improves and leaves it behind.
- We 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. If the link is stable on the server, then updating the Rise course on the server should automatically push the update to every Canvas course that has the Rise content in it.
I'd be glad to answer any more questions!
Hi,
I see that posted your helpful tips on how to launch a RISE course in Canvas.
I just joined a company that uses Canvas for our learning products. It is not the ideal platform, in my opinion, however, it is what we have until we switch next year.
I am not quite following how you are putting "an outside link or in the rich text editor through an iframe." as you mentioned in your tip. Can you elaborate? Thank you so much.
Hi Saeyoung,
Tim might not be subscribed to our community forum anymore since it's been a few years since his last post.
I checked the post you are referencing, and I believe what he means by this is that you will have to host your course in a web server, reference the URL pointing to this course in the web server and use an iframe code to embed it inside Canvas.
You'll need to reach out to Canvas support to confirm how this can be accomplished. Others in the community may be able to chime in as well.
