Estimated Seat Time or Duration of Course
Does Rise have a feature like Storyline360 that allows you to see an estimated Duration of the Course?
Forum Discussion
Me too! Please.
Any update on this? Its fairly commonplace to want this information.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for checking in on this!
I don't have an update at this time, but I've shared your post with our developers. We'll update this thread once we have news on this feature.
Yes please - 5 years after this original post I am still interested in seat team estimates from RISE. Thank you!
You used to have it for the premade micro trainings. Maybe what you're saying is that they were just made up, but they definitely used to be there. I took this screenshot in January when I was working on adding some of the prefab courses to our LMS.
Word count and estimated course duration are requirements when filing courses for Continuing Education Credits. At least this is the way it is in the insurance world. So, this feature is not a nice to have, it is a MUST have.
Hi Cortney
I think what would be ideal is a an estimated course duration range. "This course takes approximately 16-20 minutes to complete."
Perhaps, it could be calculated based on dividing the word count by an average reading speed and then adding some extra time based on the number of interactive elements.
If that is not doable in the short term, then a simple reading time (word count divided by average reading speed, but ignoring the interactive elements) would still be helpful.
Thanks
Pete
How long does it take to complete an interaction or a quiz? There is no real way of telling. Influencing factors:
- The number of interactions and the time spent on interactions
- The time spent on Quizzes which is impacted by the number of Quizzes, and the number of questions in each quiz, and the complexity of the questions.
Checking our LMS, for the same course, the quickest student completion time was just less than 1 hour. The slowest was 5 hours. That's a huge variation.
In my opinion, Rise simply cannot produce an accurate time estimate. as there are too many variables.
Perhaps, in situations like yours, when the course is very long and has lots of interactions that is true.
However, I am not convinced that it is impossible for Rise to calculate the word count and average reading time. We could then manually add some extra time for interactions ourselves.
Given how many people want this feature that seems like a minimum response.
Both would be great. Is there a way to have a word count feature and then some built-in algorithm that can estimate course duration based on word count + video length?
We have been waiting for both Word Count and Course Duration for 5 years.

I would love to them to even just add back the course durations they had for the premade courses and microlearning that they took away a few months ago.
Agreed - upvoting this request!
Hi Cortney,
Thanks for reaching out!
There are a few different requests in this thread so I'd love to get more detail on what you'd like to see. Are you hoping for a word count feature as Pete requested or the ability to calculate the estimated duration of a course? Once we receive that information, we'll certainly share your comments with our developers!
I would like to see the estimated duration of a course including
assessments, videos, labs, interactions, etc.
I would love to be able to give the learner an estimated time it will take
to complete a training and assessments.I hope this helps to provide clarification.
Thanks,
Jessica
