NEW IN RISE: Track course completion with a Storyline block
I’m excited to share the latest new feature in Rise: you can now track course completion with a Storyline block in Rise courses. It’s another great way we’ve made these two apps work together, giving you the best of both worlds: highly custom Storyline 360 interactions in responsive courses you build quickly in Rise.
This feature lets you customize how your Rise courses track completion in a learning management system (LMS). Now you can choose to track the completion of your Rise course in an LMS based on a trigger, quiz result, or number of slides viewed in your Storyline block.
Check out this quick video to see how it works:
Enjoy!
Very cool. I am going to use that in the next course I build. I'd rather build quizes in Storyline anyway.
This is a great feature!
Will there be any opportunity in the future to track completion based on the outcome of multiple quizzes, rather than just one?
Hey Heidi,
Sorry we missed this post. I assume you are referring to a 'result of results' type feature that is currently available in Storyline?
Your Rise course can track by this in your Storyline Block as well :)
Leslie,
Is there a tutorial on how to do this? Can you create the quizzes in Rise and the results page in Storyline?
Came here to ask this as well
What if you don't currently have an LMS? Is there a way to track the course?
Hey Tiffany,
For tracking, Rise courses should be hosted and tracked in a learning management system (LMS).
Not sure if anyone in the community has some alternative ways to share with you here.
Tiffany, if you do find an option for tracking outside an LMS please share! :) I'm looking for a similar solution. THANKS
Is there a way to randomize questions in this feature as you would from a question bank?
Hey Clive,
You can certainly include your randomized question bank in your Storyline Block if that's what you're asking and built-in Rise Quizzes can be randomized as well. I recorded a quick Peek for you here.
The Question Bank would then exist within the Storyline Block and the randomize option would exist inside there - say you have 30 questions though all with very impressive graphics etc, does that not result in the Storyline Block becoming bloated and hence the Rise SCORM file becoming overly large - this is a problem here where networking bandwidth is not as expansive as in the US or Europe, so very large SCORM Rise packages become counter-productive because of their size for our student uploads, particularly off-campus....
Hi Clive,
Great question - so I tested it out myself!
I created two Storyline courses each with a simple question draw. The first course had 6 questions and drew a total of 3, and the second one had 20 questions and drew a total of 10.
I published both to Review, and then created a Rise course for each to pull in the Storyline block. I also exported both for the same LMS set up, (SCORM 2004 2nd edition, track by Storyline block). When I looked at the size of both SCORM files, they were exactly the same.
This was a pretty small scale test, but it doesn't appear that the size of the Storyline course is impacting the overall SCORM output size. If you're seeing something different, I'd love to take a look at replicating it with your examples and settings. Can you share a bit more with us here?
Hey Ashley,
Can you guestimate how much development time it took you in Rise vs. SL? I'm analyzing then making a pitch for which topics should use which tool *and* how in some cases using Rise will save us some time. If there's a thread about this somewhere, I'd love to know . . .
Hi Megan,
Thanks for your question! It looks like you started another thread and were able to get some answers from the community - that’s great!
If you still want to explore some more ideas and thoughts around this I found a community thread about course development time using Storyline.
Also, here’s a cool article with some time-saving tips when working in Rise.
I hope this helps! Please reach out if you have any more questions.
Great feature, unfortunately our company's firewall restricts us from publishing to 360.
This is awesome! Thanks!
Awesome feature. I've been waiting on this one for a while. Thanks Articulate team!
