Rise 360 or Storyline 360 for large course + quiz + videos -Rise 360 to be SCORM
Hi all,
I’m looking for some advice on the best approach for a project I’m starting.
I have around 150 pages of content to turn into an eLearning course. The course will also include embedded Vimeo videos and a final quiz of about 30–35 questions. The end goal is to publish as a SCORM package for our LMS.
My initial thought is that Rise might be more efficient for this type of content-heavy course, but I’m wondering if I’d be limiting myself in terms of tracking, quiz functionality, or overall learner experience.
A few specific questions:
- Would you recommend Rise or Storyline for this type of project?
- Are there any limitations in Rise I should be aware of for SCORM tracking or quizzes?
- Has anyone handled a similar volume of content—any tips or lessons learned?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I recommend breaking your course into individual modules/files if possible. It's much easier for learners to pace themselves rather than having to sit through a long course.
Also be aware of suspend data when using Rise for really long courses. I have an old LMS so I have to create one file for each course (can't be broken up or learners would have to register for each module). I designed a really long course in Rise recently and discovered that publishing it as SCORM 1.2 caused the progress of the course to stop half way through because of character limits (e.g if the learner left the course anytime after completing lesson 3, and came back, it would always re-start at lesson 3). So I ended up re-publishing it as a SCORM 2004. Newer LMS's may not support this file type, so you might want to check if your's does.

Either Rise or Storyline will do it, Rise will be quicker.
Any reason why it all has to go in one course maybe better to split into sperate sections and make it more palatable.
PhilMayor I could not break the course up - it is a complete course and learners had to complete it in 1 go with a quiz thereafter and re-register was not an option. I am new to Articulate and learning by trial and error. I appreciate your suggestion and will try it in future. Have an awesome day!

I had to create the course in a few days so i created it in Rise 360. Also- i could not break the course up - it is a complete course and learners had to complete it in 1 go with a quiz thereafter and re-register was not an option. But you have helped me solve the mystery of 're-starting' at a particular lesson:) I will try to scorm 2004. Have an awesome day! Really really appreciate your help!
