Moving PDF content into Rise

Jan 03, 2024

Hi everyone

Seeking your thoughts on best approach for the below.

We currently have a course (subject) consisting of weekly topics. Each weekly topic is delivered in PDF format, which includes a table of contents and numbered /titled headings, ie 1, 1.1, 1.2,   2, 3, etc. The content is text heavy, but well structured. 

We now want to convert each topic PDF to its own rise module. The SME’s have been requested to review each topic (word version) and insert instructions throughout for the instructional designer(s).

Given some of the SME’s are new to Rise, I’m thinking the first step within the word doc is to highlight/rename the higher level headings (1, 2) as ‘Section 1, 2’ etc and the lower level headings (1.1, 1.2) within as ‘Lesson 1, 2’ etc. So clearly define the sections and accompanying lessons to match Rise’s structure/flow.

Then for the actual text content, it can be categorised/decided as to which block type would suit best. 

Essentially the original topic word doc would become the design document for the ID.

Any thoughts on this process? Is there a better way?

Many thanks
