My colleague has a Rise 360 account and has developed content that we need to download (as a xxx.story file) so it can be uploaded into a LMS. Everything I've seen, so far, states that this cannot be done. Is this correct?
Hi Karl, Thank you...yes, I typically develop courses in Storyline 3. I want to use a colleague's course as a base to develop a course for our LMS. They have it in Rise 360...they are able to give me a ZIP file, but not a xxx.story file so I can make changes and create my own course. So I just wanted to verify that you cannot download xxx.story file from Rise 360, correct?
When I purchased this authoring tool I was told that I would be able to download a file that could be used later if I no longer had a subscription to Articulate.
I also was told the file could be used to upload to a LMS. I need to know what type of file can be downloaded from RISE 360 (not Storyline) so I can share the file with our LMS. She mentioned an MP4-is that possible or is it something else? (I also had checked with the LMS and was told I could use RISE 360 as the authoring tool.)
Please reply as quickly as possible-I am deep into creating 17 modules for the CDC's TRAIN learning network.
I see you've been getting some help from the community, but I just wanted to pop in and address your question about using an exported file while no longer having an active Articulate 360 subscription!
The answer is yes, you would still be able to upload an exported file to an LMS. However, please keep in mind that without an active Articulate 360 subscription, you would not be able to edit the file itself if changes are needed.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks, Karl and Steven! Steven, yes, I did understand that part and Karl, thanks for the answer-I think the LMS admin is new and we are working together to understand solutions. I will share your info.
Another Q: so if a file is downloaded, that means any updates made will need another download and then transfer to LMS?
I got a response from our admin and still not sure if the content I have created in RISE 360 via a zip file will work. She is also "not a tech person" and is on a learning journey herself about the process. Here is her reply:
"I know that we can use SCORM 1.2 compliant content and HTML5. Zip files can’t go into TRAIN so we will need the extracted files. Does that answer your question? We just need to get to the published SCORM/HTML5 file."
Is this possible to retrieve from the ZIP file? If so, are there tutorials I can use to extract the correct files?

Hi Tamara,
xxx.story files are stored on the hard drive of the person that developed that course.
The Storyline file is required to publish a version that can be uploaded to your LMS.
Typically this is the Storyline file path:
C:\username\Documents\My Articulate Projects

Hi Tamara,
You cannot create nor download a xxx.story file from Rise 360.
This applies to the original editable Rise course as well as the exported ZIP file.
Thanks Karl...

Hi Carrie,
When you open your course, in the top right hand corner you will see the PUBLISH tab.
Clicking on it will display all the publishing options.
You need to select LMS.
Speak to your LMS Administrator regarding which export options you should choose.
The output will be a ZIP file that needs to be uploaded into your LMS.
Your LMS Administrator will be able to help you with the upload steps.

Hi Carrie,
Whenever you make changes to your Rise course, you need to republish the Rise course, and upload the new ZIP file to your LMS.
