New Rise features: collaboration and publish courses to Articulate Review

Aug 29, 2017

Hi everyone,

We’ve just added some cool new features to Rise and I wanted to give you a quick overview.

Collaboration: Now you can collaborate with other Articulate 360 Teams users on Rise courses, creating and editing different lessons at the same time, or you can take turns. All the changes you and your collaborators make happen in real time, so everyone always works on the most recent version of the course. Check out this video from CTO Arlyn Asch for more details.

Publish Rise courses to Articulate Review: Everyone’s favorite review tool is now available for Rise! Easily gather consolidated feedback from your project team and stakeholders. Just click on Review and Publish. Check out this quick video from Arlyn to see this new duo in action.

And there are more cool features coming soon, such as Rise folders and Storyline blocks! See what’s new and what’s on its way on our What’s New, What’s Next page.

I don't see the option to add a SL to Rise as he says in this video. I just received the updates. Where is it please? I'd love to have that option.

Thanks!

Hi Tara. The Storyline block in Rise is still being buttoned up. Today's release encompasses collaboration in Rise and publishing Rise courses to Articulate Review.

We'll let you know when the Storyline block feature is available in Rise.

Ok thank you. The video I received via email is a bit misleading. It says "now we can". Hopefully it won't be long. :)

Sorry that video was a little confusing, Tara. It was a last-minute change in plans. We're making some final tweaks to the Storyline block and it should be ready super soon!

Glad to finally see the announcement of the ability to push to Articulate Review. But has anyone been able to get Articulate Review to actually work with a Rise project??

All my attempts have resulted in:

Publishing Course…
You will receive an email when publishing is complete.

Never completes (I navigated away expecting it to continue; also tried leaving the browser window open and it has been sitting for hours), no email, nothing listed in Articulate Review...

Thanks.

Hi Donald

It worked for me, got the email and I could successfully see the course in Review - so the functionality is working.

Wendy, thank you. I was able to publish a different course to Articulate Review. But I think I have figured out the cause -- the course I tried to upload originally to Articulate Review has a rogue video (a support request already submitted last week and I have provided requested info, but no fix yet).

[History: Last week, I had accidentally added a mp4 video to a 3-column image grid - the grid still shows it as uploading. I am probably going to have to just delete the entire 3-column grid and recreate it from scratch - will see if that fixes the Articulate Review issue on that course. However, it would be nice if Rise warned about an unsupported file being uploaded to the image grid and reject it...].

Hi Donald

mp4's are a supported video format?

Hi, I just tried out the collaboration features.

I noticed that when i share a course with someone, they do not see the 'Share/Review/Publish/Settings' features. How can they get access to this?

I noticed also that there is a 'ownership' against the user but not obvious to hover over and see 'Transfer'.

You would really want to be able to give multiple people rights - i.e. edit only, full features etc.

Is this possible? Thank you

Wendy, no MP4 is not supported. The video file was in a folder of images being uploaded for 3-column image grid. Rise failed to recognize/warn that it was an invalid type for the grid. It never finishes upload and It cannot be deleted (see below). I moved it to the end of my images so it is less noticeable (it displays as a blank tile). Duplicating the grid did not help. With no fix from Articulate, my next step is to just delete the grid and start over...

Hi Donald, I got it to work since noon yesterday and have spent about 12 hours in it reviewing one project. Seems to work just as well for Rise as it does for SL...

I was also planning on using this feature following yesterday's video- is there a broad timeframe you could share? I'm trying to assess whether I should rebuild a course entirely in Storyline or wait as I would prefer to build in Rise and insert one element from SL.

Hi Sydney. I've checked with our dev team and it looks like we're aiming for the first half of September. Hope that helps with planning your project!

over 5 years ago08/30/17 at 6:17 pm (UTC)

I was thinking the same thing as Sydney. I enjoy working in Rise, but SL has so many more options. Anxiously awaiting. :)

Hi Donald. Just wanted to let you know that I checked with our support team on your case and they'll be reaching out soon to get this matter taken care of for you.

Hi Andy. Regarding your question about your colleague not seeing "Review" as a menu option in Rise, currently collaborators can't publish Rise courses to Articulate Review. You can read more about how collaboration features work in Rise with this article from our Knowledge Base.

And on the question of granting collaborators more permissions...that's an interesting idea! I'll pass it on to the dev team as a feature request.

Thanks for sharing your questions and ideas with us.

Hi Trina, how do l delete a review tile?

over 5 years ago08/30/17 at 7:15 pm (UTC)

HI Robert. I'm assuming that you're referencing the course title in Rise when you hit the "Review" menu option? If so, that's pulled directly from your course title. Currently, there's no way to edit that title in the Review menu. To change it there, you'd need to change it on the Rise title screen.

Also, when in Feedback Mode in Articulate Review l really like that the review topics have been categorised according to lessons by showing the Lesson Heading band - would it be possible to have the Lesson Number be automatically included as part of each Lesson Heading? ie. can we do the same as what is shown in Course Preview mode where the Lesson Number automatically appears as part of the title for the next lesson?

Hi Tina, may be a mixup here - l am referring to Tile not Title. How do you delete the complete review tile - l have been testing the review process and now want to delete some of my tiles created.

over 5 years ago08/30/17 at 7:30 pm (UTC)

My bad, Robert! Maybe time to get my eyes rechecked. :-)

You can delete courses (the tiles) from your Articulate Review dashboard by hovering over the ellipsis to the right of the course name and selecting delete. I snapped a quick picture of that for you...

Hope I've understood and answered your question this time!

Perfect, thank you!

Thanks but no need - I deleted the problematic grid and started over with a new grid.
