Using Rise to create a technical, step-by-step user guide
I am wondering if anyone has used Rise to create a more technical, step-by-step user guide/user manual for a system/software. I have seen some examples of software training or product info orientation created from Rise, but that's not quite what I'm looking for. Any tips and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks!
I am currently working on something like that.
I use Rise as a "container", because it makes is easy to update things and implement different types of content (text, video). But it is too limited to create a software-training. Nobody learns a software by reading a book or reading text-blocks of a Rise-course. Software training should be learning-by-doing, fullfilling certain tasks and gather both knowledge as well as tangible skills.
So, I also use a lot of video (mainly screencasts, but also some explainer type videos), as well as Storyline-blocks for interactive software simulations. Best of both worlds.
Hi Stefan,
Curious about how you are developing this! We create software training and were trying to create a guide that has a combination of steps and quick videos. Not sure if you could share an example of how you are developing this guide.
Hi Erika,
While waiting for a response from Stefan, you can check out the available Rise 360 templates here to see if any of them can help you get started with the course that you are building:
I also wanted to leave this reference on sending Rise 360 courses to other authors in case someone from the community comes across this post and is willing to share examples with you.
Hi Linda Moua, I came across your question and was curious to know if you found a solution for doing it in Rise?
