Which LMS is best for Rise Courses?
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.
