Optimize Rise 360 lesson size
Hello. I'm creating a long Rise 360 course with uploaded audio narration files for nearly all blocks. I'm experiencing some browser slowdown as I'm uploading the audio files, and I'm growing concerned that my learners will experience the same thing when they view it.
Is there a rule of thumb about lesson length in Rise 360, especially one with a lot of multimedia uploads? Is each individual lesson its own HTML5 file, or does the entire course upload into the browser at the start of the course?
This particular type of training would ordinarily be a good Storyline candidate, but I like the modern look of Rise 360 and want to try to make it work.
Thanks!
David
The lessons are not individual html files, but from my experience it does seem to load an entire lesson for the user (so they can easily scroll thru the entire lesson) which could cause some noticeable delay for the user viewing a long lesson, but a 'continue' button essentially splits the lesson, and the content below the 'continue' will only load once clicked. So you might consider adding some continues to split up a long lesson with lots of images/media.

Thanks, Phil. This is helpful information. I do have a few "continues" in the lesson, but I did that to introduce a cognitive break; I didn't realize it would also help with loading times. I guess I'll press on as planned, and if the continues aren't enough, I can split the large lesson into several small ones.
Hi dedwards​!
Glad to see Phil has been helping with your Rise 360 design!
I see that you've also opened a support case, being handled by my teammate Christian. It looks like just replied to your e-mail sharing insight and suggestions.
If you have any follow-up questions, feel free to reconnect with Christian through your case!
Yes, I appreciate the help from both Phil and Christian. I've resolved my issue by splitting the long lesson into multiple short lessons and by uploading mp3 audio files instead of wav versions.
