Which LMS is best for Rise Courses?
Hey people! I need an LMS to run courses created in Rise. Here's a list of features. Any recommendations?
e-Commerce:
Learners can purchase course and watch it right away.
Paypal or other e...
I deleted my last two posts because they didn't seem to be hitting the nail on the head, based on the replies that were coming my way.
I asked for a list of LMS's that Rise 360 could hook up to without incident. I just want to sell courses, not ream out cylinder heads.
Now, aside from art work, I would expect that an LMS could and would simply perform as it should...meaning interact with quizzes and tests. That's all I need.
I'm seeing things like, LMS's not reporting all of the time, sometimes reporting incorrectly, etc. This shouldn't be, period.
All motor vehicles are similar in that they perform the same basic function...getting people to their destination. But why don't LMS's perform this way all of the time and why isn't there a list of lousy LMS's and great LMS's...ESPECIALLY from a company (Articulate) that provides a software that is supposed to "talk turkey" with an LMS?
I just want to sell my courses to people, I don't want to spend 10+ years doing homework...I'd need 5 more lifetimes.
So far all replies to my question have been way off the mark or they were matter of fact in that they basically meant "well that's the way it is, too bad"...which never answered my question...at all.
Bottom line is...it WOULD be TREMENDOUSLY beneficial to me and others I'm sure, to be able to peruse a comprehensive list of tried and true LMS's that hook up to Rise 360.
And like I said...come on, true or false, hot spots, drag and drop...minimal variables.
Let me give you a for instance here...
I like TalentLMS except for the nagging and confusing envelope that Articulate needs to reside in if embedded. They have a nagging button message at bottom titled Course completed or Reset Unit and all that good stuff...that is aside from MY stuff. I had a half dozen people start a sample course and they were all confused. They couldn't wrap their head around the idea that that bottom message wasn't a part of what I created.
So yes, it would have been so much better if Articulate had TalentLMS on a list of possible LMS's and some of the pros and cons of them....instead of me investing so much time on it. BTW, the people at TalentLMS wrote that this couldn't be hidden, etc.
Bottom line again is that nothing will come of this because there doesn't seem to be a need from the people who don't see a need, lol.

I know this is a very old thread, but thought I'd chime in. I know exactly what you were thinking with this question, Harry...because it's one that I've had, often. Literally every LMS I've ever uploaded or tested a Rise course in simply doesn't display it in a way that's logical for the end user, or user friendly. They'll display it in a small iframe, which isn't intuitive for an end user to have to endlessly scroll through, only to have it load new content into the same frame when clicking "continue" at the bottom of a Rise "page." Or they display a "complete course" button beneath that iframe, with no way to disable and logically force the user to look for that "continue" button at the end of a Rise page. From my own exhaustive experience, I've decided that however modern and web-like a Rise course looks, it's simply not going to look how you want it to in any existing LMS. So I end up sticking with Storyline...which is simply not what I want.
Did you ever find a good solution?
HI JA,
When running a Rise course within a LMS, by default most LMS's will run the course within the LMS environment itself.
In those circumstances, what you say is mostly true.
However, there are a number of LMS's that give you the option to run the course is a new window. When a course is set up to run in a new window, the window with the LMS remains open in the background, while the course opens in its own full-screen window directly over the LMS window .
No components or any part of the LMS UI is visible or LMS UX in the course window.
So there is no iframe or other crude work-arounds.
When you exit a course, that window closes and you go back to the LMS window.
That is how we have set up our LMS, and our Rise courses look exactly like they do in the Rise development environment.
