Rise or Storyline?

Hello,

I am new to Articulate 360 and I apologize if this question might have been already answered in another discussion, but I was wondering which tool to use between Rise or Storyline.

I have been asked by the company I am working in, to design new e-Learning courses for various lessons and modules. They already created some previous e-Learning using Rise (I would assume from the templates and themes), but I find it limited as for customizing the theme, where buttons are etc. The current e-Learnings that they created are accessible online therefore I think Rise would be the only option, but I have seen in other discussions that you can export from Storyline and add them into Rise? How would one do that, and would it be still online as a web page at that point?

What I am trying to do is redesign the whole home page and dashboard, which I don't think is possible... I attached an image of what I am trying to do. 

Thank you in advance for your help :)

    Hi Alice,

    I create most interactive and animated parts in Storyline - you can almost do everything there, from creating GIF like videos to quiz etc. For integration into RISE you have to publish your Storyline to Review 360.

    In RISE you then add an interactive block (scroll down in that category) and choose Storyline. Then add your Review 360 storyline into that.

    I publish my RISE courses as a SCORM and upload it into our LMS for internal use. But we also integrate our courses via host to our webpage (Sitecore).

    I hope this helps a little.

    Hi Alice

    @iris Schlabiz has given a great explanation of how you can integrate Storyline functionality in your RISE courses and that is definitely worth exploring...

    ...But looking at your wireframe image, I think you need to back up in your design a little. The image you have included is a typical 'course menu' screen. This screen is more usually part of the Learning Management System rather than a function of the course authoring tool (although the boundaries are becoming increasingly blurred).

    So, a fairly standard set-up for a commercial learning and development operation is:

    A. You have a website that promotes the course catalog (the course menu). The users choose a course, register on it and make a payment. The booking is confirmed and they then see the course in their 'enrolled' course menu.

    You can create this part in a number of ways e.g. you might have a WordPress website with the LearnDash plug-in as the LMS and maybe the MemberPress plug-in for user registration and payment.

    B. From the 'enrolled course menu', the user is directed to the course they have enrolled on.  Different LMS's have different hierarchies but typically a 'course' consists of a series of 'lessons' and the lessons may then contain 'topics'. A topic may be anything. It could be a video an interactive pdf, a Storyline module, a quiz....etc Sometimes 'lessons' and 'topics' are synonymous.

    Storyline and RISE are both course authoring tools (Not LMS's).

    RISE is a bit different in that it creates 'courses' that consist of 'lessons'. So, if you publish it to the web, it takes on some of the LMS role in that it offers you the 'lesson menu' on the screen. If you run this under an LMS you can end up with two menus - which is why it is possible to turn the menu off in RISE.

    I hope this helps...

    Best regards
