Rise courses going on to clients' drives
Hi johnfaulkes, I'm not sure if this will have the information you need regarding malware protections, but it does sound like web files is going to be the way to go!
I don't believe there is any undue risk with them hosting the web files on an internal server, though I imagine depending on the company they may have specific safeguards.
I don't have any experience with alternative methods, but I've found success hosting published web output on internal web servers. Rise exports with an index.html file so if the content is hosted in https://sub.domain/content/yourCourse/index.html learners would just be able to receive the URL for https://sub.domain/content/yourCourse/ and the course would load.
The published output is more complex than an html file coded by an amateur so I think it would be harder for someone with edit permissions on the server to alter the course in a way that would hurt someone, but that's a normal risk. It would be up to the client to only allow trustworthy employees to add or edit content on that shared drive, but that's true at every company I think.
