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 easy payment system. Direct payments to multiple payees Require course completion in order to see/take assessment. Admin functions: Advanced reporting Learner data on time spent in each course Automated quiz grading Certificate awarding when student completes course with 75% or higher. Interactive exercises and assessments. Custom branding SCORM and API compliant. Quick help (phone or chat). Cloud hosting No banners or advertisements

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.

After exploring many options I have settled on Thinkific. I was also able to do some custom CSS to remove any duplicate player bars. The content looks great, native, and best of all leaps and bounds less expensive then and other LMS. Firmwater works well, but does not offer any kind of gamification. I was going to do a custom setup with Badgr but it ended up being too much of a pain. TalentLMS was better but still, the experience left something to be desired. If you are interested in setting something up similar feel free to shoot me an email at augert@me.com. Right now I am designing course curriculum, training, website, gamification, etc. for Qube Masters. www.qubemasters.com We hope to have over 10,000 users at launch! Also, to the Rise team, could you please give us the ability to remove the "Course Start Page"? If you did that, it would make Rise the perfect tool.

Having just completed an exhausting LMS selection process, I can honestly say that there are far too many considerations to selecting an LMS and that decision should be based on the company and possibly industry needs. Because you can publish your Rise courses to all the typical and standard industry outputs (Scorm, AICC and TinCan), your LMS choices would likely be in the hundreds. There's a lot more to LMS selection than whether or not it will play content: budget, number of users, number of subportals, whether the LMS vendor offers 24/7 support, whether you can sync active directory through Microsoft Azure, if you can send a learner link by email once the course is published, whether or not you have to reversion a course with each update, etc. etc. Even once you have found an LMS, always conduct multiple reference checks with other clients. Ask questions such as how supported they feel, what was their onboarding experience like, what would they change about their LMS, Ask for a sandbox environment so that you can experience what it will be like when you publish courses to it. What's the reporting like? How easy is it to find courses? How does the course library work for users, etc. It is most certainly hard work - I've spent the last 3 weeks in a "spreadsheet comparison coma" but the good news is that I'm happy with the result! Never be afraid to put the time in and get what you need. What works for someone else may not work for you and, yes, some of us have found things out "the hard way" by putting in the legwork or making wrong decisions. Never leave a critical decision like this to a vendor that doesn't know your specific situation/business/industry.

Same boat here, Harry. We have prioritized the use of Rise360, as it is so simple to use. Creating eLearning is a secondary function for our group, and it's more important for us to get the content out there quickly and in a way that is usable. Many LMSs seem to be playing catch-up when it comes to delivering a friendly mobile experience with responsive content like that exported from Rise. I would love to hear of some examples from the community where they have had the Rise360 mobile courses display properly and in a user-friendly fashion.

The only one that I have found is Firmwater. In fact, their demo lesson are made from rise.

The Rise courses we developed play fine from the Articulate site, but when we run them from Premier LMS on an iPhone we have trouble. The most common problem is that the text size is inconsistent, and sometimes way way too big (see attached 1682). We are currently seeing the screen effectively cut off halfway down. As user scrolls down, text and images disappear when they get below the midline. (See attached 1680) Any suggestions?

Hi Rich, thanks for including those screenshots! I can clearly see that Rise isn't displayed correctly from your mobile device. Have you tried hosting it in another LMS environment to compare it to what you're seeing in Premier LMS?

SCORM Cloud is an excellent LMS testing tool, and it's free to use. We'd be happy to help you with that testing if you don't mind sharing your file with us!

I would be interested in the reporting at Thinkific for Rise Content.

Thanks,

It seems we have a lot of users in the same boat. I love rise courses, but when I tried to add mine to Thinkific images didn't work and the course cut off.

I don't really want to have to choose, buy I might have to......

I have been looking at TalentLMS just recently. Could be worth a look.

  Yes, TalentLMS is a great fit, and makes sense in so many ways. I had a mental block about the displaying in a new window thing but am used to it now. Very powerful.

    Hi Harry
    
    Have you managed to bring everything into Microsoft Teams using Rise and TalentLMS?

Hello, Harry.

I am looking for the same thing you seem to be using. I would like to use Rise and have it display properly. I need to collect fees for each course or a lump sum for a bundle of courses. Does TalentLMS allow you to do that?

HI Lee,

Yes!

You can hook up your Paypal or other forms of payment and literally put things on auto pilot. Way too much to explain here but...

I have my course running smoothly. I have a bunch of mini quizzes that aren't scored, then one larger quiz at the end, that is scored.

My course is video intensive and I have all my videos stored away in Vimeo, which has such a load of options also.

Bottom line is, the courses are lightweight in TalentLMS.

I set up my site home page links in TalentLMS to mimic my website...so that people could pass back and forth without really feeling as if it's 2 different sites.

Regards,

Harry

A competitor does this much better, might as well use Evolve by Intellum.
