I’m excited to share the latest new feature in Rise: you can now track course completion with a Storyline block in Rise courses. It’s another great way we’ve made these two apps work together, giving you the best of both worlds: highly custom Storyline 360 interactions in responsive courses you build quickly in Rise.
This feature lets you customize how your Rise courses track completion in a learning management system (LMS). Now you can choose to track the completion of your Rise course in an LMS based on a trigger, quiz result, or number of slides viewed in your Storyline block.
You can certainly include your randomized question bank in your Storyline Block if that's what you're asking and built-in Rise Quizzes can be randomized as well. I recorded a quick Peek for you here.
The Question Bank would then exist within the Storyline Block and the randomize option would exist inside there - say you have 30 questions though all with very impressive graphics etc, does that not result in the Storyline Block becoming bloated and hence the Rise SCORM file becoming overly large - this is a problem here where networking bandwidth is not as expansive as in the US or Europe, so very large SCORM Rise packages become counter-productive because of their size for our student uploads, particularly off-campus....
I created two Storyline courses each with a simple question draw. The first course had 6 questions and drew a total of 3, and the second one had 20 questions and drew a total of 10.
I published both to Review, and then created a Rise course for each to pull in the Storyline block. I also exported both for the same LMS set up, (SCORM 2004 2nd edition, track by Storyline block). When I looked at the size of both SCORM files, they were exactly the same.
This was a pretty small scale test, but it doesn't appear that the size of the Storyline course is impacting the overall SCORM output size. If you're seeing something different, I'd love to take a look at replicating it with your examples and settings. Can you share a bit more with us here?
This is a great feature! My question is, would there be a way to integrate this into a block that would allow for a visual indicator of progress through the course, or to trigger achievement of badges? I'm sure there has to be a way to manipulate this with Storyline to make that work!
You will always need an LRS/LMS to track. The SCORM or TinCan file has to have something to send the verbs to, in addition, it can't assign said "verbs" to a person, unless said person has been identified (this requires some sort of login, otherwise the reports will be tied to IP addresses which is for the most part useless). You can always use something like xappi or SCORM Cloud if you don't have your own LMS, or create your own LMS using WordPress and LearnDash (very affordable), but you just can't track learner behavior without a database that is receiving the verbs (complete, attempted, experience, etc...)
Yes, I understand that. I've been at this a while. ;) I'm just trying to concoct a way to take that data and represent it in a way the learner can use as a visual as they progress through the course. I've just started a new job using Canvas and I am going to investigate how Badgr will work with everything and see what other LTI tools are available.
Does this feature report the actual responses to the quiz to the LMS? I just learned the hard way that Rise question responses do not report to our LMS like Storyline questions do. This reporting of learner responses helps us identify trends and questions that are slipping up our learners.

Very cool. I am going to use that in the next course I build. I'd rather build quizes in Storyline anyway.
This is a great feature!
Will there be any opportunity in the future to track completion based on the outcome of multiple quizzes, rather than just one?
What if you don't currently have an LMS? Is there a way to track the course?
Is there a way to randomize questions in this feature as you would from a question bank?
Hey Clive,
You can certainly include your randomized question bank in your Storyline Block if that's what you're asking and built-in Rise Quizzes can be randomized as well. I recorded a quick Peek for you here.
Hey Heidi,
Sorry we missed this post. I assume you are referring to a 'result of results' type feature that is currently available in Storyline?
Your Rise course can track by this in your Storyline Block as well :)
Hey Tiffany,
For tracking, Rise courses should be hosted and tracked in a learning management system (LMS).
Not sure if anyone in the community has some alternative ways to share with you here.
The Question Bank would then exist within the Storyline Block and the randomize option would exist inside there - say you have 30 questions though all with very impressive graphics etc, does that not result in the Storyline Block becoming bloated and hence the Rise SCORM file becoming overly large - this is a problem here where networking bandwidth is not as expansive as in the US or Europe, so very large SCORM Rise packages become counter-productive because of their size for our student uploads, particularly off-campus....
Hi Clive,
Great question - so I tested it out myself!

Tiffany, if you do find an option for tracking outside an LMS please share! :) I'm looking for a similar solution. THANKS

Leslie,
Is there a tutorial on how to do this? Can you create the quizzes in Rise and the results page in Storyline?
Hey Maryanne and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
I apologize if my response to Heidi was confusing. Let me elaborate a bit.
I was referring to Storyline quizzes that were included in the Rise content in a Storyline Block. That's where this thread originated from.
Quiz questions built within Rise cannot point to a Result Slide in Storyline.
If you'd like to set up a quiz like I referenced above, here's some documentation to get you started:
1. Quiz Questions in Storyline
2. Result Slides
3. Storyline Block in Rise
I hope that helps!
Great feature, unfortunately our company's firewall restricts us from publishing to 360.
This is awesome! Thanks!
Came here to ask this as well
Awesome feature. I've been waiting on this one for a while. Thanks Articulate team!
This is a great feature! My question is, would there be a way to integrate this into a block that would allow for a visual indicator of progress through the course, or to trigger achievement of badges? I'm sure there has to be a way to manipulate this with Storyline to make that work!

Can you track multiple Storyline blocks?
For example, if each Rise section had a Storyline block quiz, can they all be independently tracked.
Hi Malathi,
You can only choose one tracking/completion method as a part of your Export options:
You can add as many Storyline blocks as you'd like to your course, but only one can be used as the tracking method.
Hello, very much interested in this feature. Can we add it please? Thanks
Does this feature report the actual responses to the quiz to the LMS? I just learned the hard way that Rise question responses do not report to our LMS like Storyline questions do. This reporting of learner responses helps us identify trends and questions that are slipping up our learners.
Hi Joan,
Sounds like the tracking via quiz result is working as intended, but perhaps you are looking for the question level data, correct?
Tracking question level data within Rise is still on the horizon.
