Upload a Rise course to our LMS
This may be a silly question but ... I upload Storyline 360 modules to our LMS all the time and point to the index.html file at the root of the export and everything is fine, for the first time I am dealing with a Rise course that I need to upload and track on our LMS.
Do I point to the index_lms.html in the scormcontent folder and upload the entire contents of the zip file and maintain the directory structure?
Thanks in advance!

The process required to import a SCORM Rise course differs depending on the LMS.
Which LMS are you using?
Hi Karl, not sure you would know it, it is called Training Partner. I am accustomed to manually setting up Storyline courses but have never setup a Rise course. Can I not just upload the content to our server, configure the course in our LMS and then point to the index_lms.html in the scormcontent folder?
To illustrate the differences between various Leaning Management Systems I will describe our process.
When I need to create a new Course in our LMS, I publish the SCORM from Rise.
In our LMS, I select Create New Course from a SCORM, and select the Zip file. I don't have any additional course manual setup steps besides that.
The LMS creates a course using the name of the Rise course and adds it to the course catalog.
I then create a new class, assign the newly created course to the class, and assign students to the same class.
How does that compare to your process?
For Rise courses, you don’t point directly to the HTML file like you might with a plain web upload. Instead, when you export from Rise, make sure you select SCORM (1.2 or 2004, depending on what your LMS supports) as the export type. That export gives you a zip package with the manifest file (imsmanifest.xml) and the right folder structure.
You then upload that full zip file into your LMS as a SCORM package, without unzipping or pointing to specific HTML files. The LMS will handle the launch file automatically (it typically launches index_lms.html in the background).
