Uploading a Rise360 course to Thinkific
Greetings all! A client of mine uses Thinkific for their LMS and I'm have a horrible time importing a Rise360 lesson to the LMS. There are two options for using SCORM content. Either externally hosted (I don't have a hosting site) or upload a content file (.zip). Well, I downloaded a web version zip file of the Rise360 course, but I keep getting an error message stating that the zip file is empty. The zip file isn't empty, but it looks like it's wanting HTML5 content, which the Rise360 web version download doesn't include a HTML5 file. Does anyone in this community use Thinkific and, if so, have you successfully imported Rise360 content in it? I appreciate any suggestions!

Hi Tamela,
When you publish a Rise course using the Web option the result is HTML5 content.
The ZIP file of consists several folders and files.
Hey Tamela,
Thinkific is very finicky. The problem is that the html file is in the subfolder so Thinkific is unable to access it. Here's the work-around:
- Export your course for web
- Unzip the file that it creates
- Go into the content folder and rezip everything again
- Then upload that new zip file as a multi-media lesson.
Hope this helps
Thank you!
I hope this works!
Hi everyone on this page. Does anyone know if all the interactivity (e.g. hotspots) that you can create with Rise 360 carries over into Thinkific?
All of mine did.
I tried this and it keeps giving this error. Anyone know how i can fix this?
Hi hopefully you fixed this by now but for anyone else i had a similar messge, turned out some of the pictures uploaded had a copyright symbol (©) in the title so I it seems thinkific doesn't like special characters, I changed the titles and reuploaded the pics but this alos didn't work as i guess there is metadata attached to the file. So I screenshotted the pictures and made new files and named them without special characters and that worked! all the best
Does anyone know if you can edit a Rise 360 course in Thinkific? For example, say I want to add new text to the course created in Rise 360 after I've uploaded it to Thinkific - can I make the changes in Thinkific?
You cannot edit a Rise 360 course in Thinkific.
Thanks Karl, good to know. Do you know if Rise 360 works on Learnworlds?
