Rise Source File - downloadable yet?
Bizarre that Articulate don't seem to want to do this, until you realise it's just a money thing. When you dig into the courses that are exported from Rise, you find that the course data is one massive json file (effectively plain text) that is encoded into the file, and then an assets folder containing all the embeds and images. It's technically easy to pack that into a zip file. Bringing it back into Rise's back end seems like it would be a snap as well - given the editor also works directly with that same json data - when they say they don't have a way to bring that back into a new course, it means they haven't built it: but yes, they could build it. So the only reason they haven't done it must be the money - having a client have to pay a subscription for software they probably won't use (I mean, they contract out to get the courses built) just to transfer ownership to keep the course somewhere. It's worth more to do that than allow subs to come and go knowing data could be imported back in at any time. With SL, it's a desktop app, it makes sense that the storyline files (also just renamed zip files) to be locally storable.
