Which LMS is best for Rise Courses?
I looked at Firmwater, but it is $499 per month, for 100 user starts per month. BUT ... I'm looking at more limited distribution, at least initially. For use for 150 students at a university the first year, then expanding after the first year. I'm looking to charge a very, very modest course fee to students - to cover the annual costs of the RISE 360 Teams software, and to incentivize other authors to improve the content of the course over time.
It would be helpful for RISE 360 to address this issue. I'm exploring RISE 360, and am very, very impressed with its functionality. But, without ecommerce functionality provided in some manner, I may not be able to use RISE 360, and I may have to move on to another platform (Thinkific?)
One way to do it might be to provide a login for users (students in courses), with a separate password available to each user. Not a perfect workaround, but it might enable sales through campus bookstores. (Often necessary so students may use financial aid awards to purchase course materials.)
There are likely better ecommerce solutions, however. I urge Articulate to explore this issue, and solve it / make recommendations.
