Rise courses going on to clients' drives
I want to deploy the same course to multiple client companies. These are small/medium firms likely without LMS's.
This is a general awareness course, for onboarding or continuous development, but not mandatory stuff, no need for tracking or certificates etc.
Companies would have option to give access to the whole course or circulate links for (say) one module per week. Access needs to be very quick and easy.
I could give them web files to put on an internal server? Can i give assurance that malware isn't going to be incorporated into Rise published files?
I'd be interested in any recommendations for alternative methods? I've looked briefly at Reach and Netlify ... not sure about these.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi johnfaulkes, I'm not sure if this will have the information you need regarding malware protections, but it does sound like web files is going to be the way to go!
I don't believe there is any undue risk with them hosting the web files on an internal server, though I imagine depending on the company they may have specific safeguards.I don't have any experience with alternative methods, but I've found success hosting published web output on internal web servers. Rise exports with an index.html file so if the content is hosted in https://sub.domain/content/yourCourse/index.html learners would just be able to receive the URL for https://sub.domain/content/yourCourse/ and the course would load.
The published output is more complex than an html file coded by an amateur so I think it would be harder for someone with edit permissions on the server to alter the course in a way that would hurt someone, but that's a normal risk. It would be up to the client to only allow trustworthy employees to add or edit content on that shared drive, but that's true at every company I think.
