How do you backup your Rise content?
How do you backup your Rise content?
Hi, everyone!
Here's one way to create a backup copy: export a Rise 360 course for Web, and this will generate an output file that you can store on your hard drive.
Should you ever need to use the backup file in the future, just host it on a web server, or unzip the file and view the index.html file offline. There isn't a way to upload the output file back into Rise 360, but you can always use it to create a new course.
Seriously?
Many of us are advanced in using multiple hosting apps and software programs and moved beyond this "iMovie" landscape and optics with eLearning.
This is ridiculous and critically a time suck and, at best, a huge risk on so many levels as there is other "lack" of fluidity in functionality (or capability to enable more from the designer's POV) in these products. Instead, users get reminded over and over again not of what they want (and being heard). But what the app tells them — this is what you get, "deal with it."
Aside from Storyline 360 and Rise 360 being principally a cash cows. You'd think you'd redirect this revenue asap to create functionality that's on the landscape of a LOT of software out here focused on end-users (e.g., Oracle, IBM, etc.). Fast and efficient keystrokes and functionality, multitasking workflows (bulk copy and pasting, and especially the capability to have the ability to set specific partitioning in Rise 360 that's beyond just dumping "everything" in the corral). Or not having the capability to segregate from one big dump and instead move Modules of Rise 360 courses, etc., into specific folder partitions, etc.
I could go on. But in my short time reviewing feedback here and elsewhere on the web. I am painfully aware that Storyline 360 or Rise 360 is not remotely in the universe of the Steven Jobs POV — landscape and optics with products or software — servant leadership of design (give you what you want and need to create (open window for you to go through).
Storyline 360 and Rise 360 are a window, alright. Often a clunky, sticky, and hard to unlatch (time suck) in a lot of places . . .
I principally use these programs b/c most training shops think this is the state of eLearning productivity development — herd mentality. Waiting for them to catch up and realize there's way more out here in offerings . . .
