Rise has some nice interactivity features, but it is not comparable with what is possible in Storyline. A nice feature would be to produce content in Rise and be able to use elaborated interactive slides produced in Storyline and put it into the Rise flow as an object.
We are evaluating this right now, P-O E. It's not trivial as you have to consider all the responsive views and multi-device and how tricky that is with content within content. But we're thinking hard on it.
You could link to that content using the URL/Embed code options for multimedia if it were hosted somewhere else publicly such as an Amazon S3 site or even within Articulate Review. It'll open outside your Rise course, so as Adam mentioned it won't carry over the responsive elements you're experiencing within Rise.
I guess that it is something like what you are implying that I mean, but I am not sure that I follow you entirely how it should be made.
Hosted asset Could it be any website URL accessible from the published content?
Articulate Review If one publish the SL content to Articulate 360 and then make it available by the URL produced by Review, could that URL be used as a web object in Rise? It would then be perfect to have an feature tailored by means of Review to host this, i.e. all GUI pieces of Review except the published content and a frame should be taken away for this service.
For the responsive experience, I recon it will be up to the producer to layout things in the Storyline made interaction so that it is visible in the smallest targeted device. I see the total content area of the SL interaction as a displayed video, but with interactive features.
Yup - any website URL or embed code should be something you could embed in a Rise course. Although when I was playing around with this, what I saw was a link to a Storyline course published up to Articulate Review caused it to open in a new tab outside of Articulate Review. So it wouldn't be able tailoring it to fit within the Frame and the responsive UI. That's the part where Adam mentioned it being something we're evaluating but has a lot of things we'd need to investigate and consider.
If you link to a published SL3 course and it opens in a new tab or new window, then we'll rely on the responsive player. So you don't have to think about the smallest device necessarily, but ensuring that things look as you'd like based on the inner workings described here.
Good news. We had a meeting today and we're putting this on the roadmap. No timeframe yet but the day the feature is ready you'll have it with your Articulate 360 subscription.
This is awesome! I love this new subscription feature for this exact reason. I am going to try to build a course in week with Rise. Let's see how it goes.
It's still on the road map to be able to embed or import a Storyline course directly into Rise, but in the meantime you could do it with some simple iFrame code. When you've published your Storyline course and placed it on a web server, take that URL and put it inside this iframe code within your Rise course:
<iframe src="Insert Your URL to the story.html Here"></iframe>
and you'll use that in the URL/Embed lesson or the Embed block type.
Hope that helps and we'll keep you posted on the feature as well!
PS I've done some research and realized that the site itself needs to be an https secure site for it to be found successfully when the prefix is https.
So, is it the case that Rise cannot embed any site that is not an https secure site?
I just ran into this very issue and we confirmed that the use of a secure site is necessary for Rise to allow the page to run. I uploaded my project to 2 different spaces (one secure, one not) and only the secure site would load within Rise.
Since Rise uses secure https, embedded content must also use https to work properly. Make sure the source URL for your content starts with https—assuming the website that hosts your content supports it.
If your URL starts with https and your embedded content is still missing in Rise, test the URL in this security checker. Sometimes the hosting site is secure but the content itself isn't. The security checker will let you know.
Is there any way to change the iframe size? I did this, and I have to scroll both vertically and horizontally to see the Storyline in its entirety. Thank you!
How big is the original story size within your .story file? There isn't a way to make the story size smaller once inserted in Rise, but if you want to share the embed code with us we'll be happy to take a look too!
Can you give us a sense of where this feature is with your development team? Trying to decide whether to wait for a solution or to find another way to build my course.

Thank you for answer! It will be interesting to follow the development.

Thank you for elaborating this, Ashley,

Thank you, Ashley! I will try it. And good news for the futute, Adam!

Great Mandi - and I hope you can share what you end up creating! We're loving all the really cool, amazing courses we've seen so far.
Hi Adam. This is great news. Does this apply to embedding other interactive objects (rather than linking to it) or just Storyline content?
Possibly Emily. The risk with other content is that it won't work responsively. We're looking at it.
This is a feature I'd like to see as well - the ability to add Storyline content within a Rise course.
Yup Katy, we're working on it. Thanks for your feedback!
This feature would be so amazing to be able to use. Any updates?

Ashley - I tried this technique today, with an address starting http://www. etc
This was changed to https://www. etc so the site could not be found and the embed failed.
Can you explain this please? Does it mean that we can only embed https websites?
thanks
Sally

It would be great to be clear on this

Just want to follow this and see what unfolds.
Me too!
