New in Rise 360: 1,000+ Templates With Real and Placeholder Content
Creating courses in Rise 360 has always been fast and easy, and it just keeps getting better. I’m excited to share that we’ve added over 1,000 fully customizable templates with real and placeholder content. With these professionally designed templates, you can get your learners the training they need in record time—and bulk up your course catalog in minutes. Let’s take a closer look at what’s included:
- Templates with placeholder content so you can skip outlining your course and sourcing images and focus on adding in your content—saving tons of time.
- Real-content templates with business and thought-leadership topics from bestselling authors chosen by Malcolm Gladwell, Adam Grant, Susan Cain, and Daniel Pink—so you can hit Export and upload courses to your LMS without missing a beat.
And because all of these templates are fully customizable, you can update the branding, make edits, and mix in your own content as needed.
Want to check out these new templates? Simply go to your Articulate 360 dashboard, click on New Course, preview the different options, and select the one you want to use. It’s that easy! Don’t have Rise 360? Start your free 30-day trial of Articulate 360 now.

This is excellent functionality.
Will additional content be added on an annual or other schedule? Love this add, it is so helpful! Thank you.
It uploaded but then wouldn't play. Here is what worked for me on my LMS with a 600 MB file limit:
- Export Rise course
- Unzip
- find Assets/RBC folder/videos - change to simple names i.e. "lesson03"
- compress videos using Handbrake
- Cut and paste compressed videos to new folder in Documents\Rise 360 content ready courses\Compressed Videos
- In Rise course, note each video block position then delete
- Add multimedia block/compressed video for each lesson
- Customize settings
- Export and upload to LMS
- NOTE - don't use the Replace video feature. Rise will export both the original large videos and the transcribed videos
I hope this helps,
Jef
Hi there, Amy! I'm thrilled to hear you're getting so much value out of the prebuilt content in Rise!
Our team is continuously writing and publishing new Real Content courses, and we're also adding new Next Big Idea Club courses as new books are added to that list. So that means, you'll have a growing list of content to include in your updates!
Here's a catalog of what is available in the prebuilt library:
This is great--thank you! I look forward to sharing these with our teams to discover what's most valuable and what we can customize!
I'm considering offering the lessons as micro-learning modules, with an advertisement at the end to take the course that lesson came from to take a deeper dive into that topic. How are you planning to use this rich content?
That's a great idea Sandra! I could see sharing "breadcrumbs" on Yammer or Teams and pushing people to the LMS to take the course
Thanks Alyssa - Looking forward to this!
Hi, everyone! The video block with the linked buttons was created exclusively for Next Big Idea Club content, since those buttons are required to remain below the author's video. There isn't a way to edit or remove those buttons, nor can you recreate this block type for other purposes.
For now, your best bet is to add a button block below a video block if you want to add links to related content.
Could you give any insight on how we should be citing this/giving credit within the course information being used?
Yep, export the course, unzip it, open the folder "assets-rbc". There you can find the video. I use the excellent free tool "Handbrake" (for Win and Mac) to shrink the size. With the right setting you reduce to a quarter of the original size lossless. Then copy the shrinked video back (note to keep the original name) to the rbc folder from the rise package and zip all together again.
I was able to take a look at the real content and could definitely see uses for it. One of our concerns however is providing translations. I know that for written content we can export to .XLIFF to get translated, but there doesn't seem to be a clear way to add additional caption languages to the video content or download the videos in order to burn in captions.
Hi Coniqua! You can download the English version of the video captions by opening the video block editor and clicking Edit > Manage Captions > Export Icon.
Then, you can translate the English captions yourself and add additional caption languages to the videos by following the steps in this article:
