How many lessons can you have in a Rise 360 course?

I like to step away from the tools as "elearning tools" and think of them more as ways to create multimedia content. In that sense, a PDF is no different than Rise and vice versa. It's just as easy to read the PDF as it is to read the Rise screen.

The question then becomes, what does Rise give you that you don't get in a PDF?

It's easy to break the content into manageable chunks using the lesson structure and within lessons, the continue block. You can also leverage the other interactive blocks and chunk up some content with those, as well.

I think the other consideration is how to convert read-only text into something more engaging, interactive, and perhaps a better learning experience. I'd reframe the content so it's not just about reading and exposure and also includes places where it's used to make contextually relevant decisions. That's easy to do with the knowledge checks and scenario blocks.

As far as length, I think seeing 30 lessons feels like a long course. I'd probably do fewer visible lessons and then break the content up inside the lesson. You can use the continue block to hide content until they get there.

Not knowing the content/subject matter, the other recommendation is to keep the PDF as a resource and use the lessons in Rise as a way to abstract the content and have them make the types of decisions you want them to make in real life. Thus the lessons are more like decision-making scenarios where they demonstrate their understanding of the PDF content and less about reading the content.
