Do Rise courses capture session_time and total_time and report it back to an LMS? There doesn't appear to be a place to configure this within Rise, but I'm not sure if it does this by default.
I haven't seen this feature and this would be nice to have. +1
I test my Rise 360 courses in Scorm Cloud and it gives me an approximation of how long it took me to complete the course. Of course not every learner is the same. Mind you there are videos in my courses so I can try to estimate that way, but there are also interactives and text. Testing in Scorm cloud gave me a ballpark after completing the course, so this could be a temporary solution until Articulate dev's come up with something for Rise 360. I saw another thread where someone mentioned taking the number of words in a Rise 360 course, divide that by the average number of words the average adult can read per minute and that can give you an approximate course duration. Add the number of minutes from the previous example to any video times (when applicable), to come up with an approximate time for the course duration in that case.
Thanks, Cherese. We may be talking about 2 different features. I wanted to see if Rise tracks and reports on time in session and total time per learner. So, the amount of time an individual learner spends each time (s)he accesses a SCORM package and the total time if (s)he accesses the SCORM package multiple times.
I think you may be referring to an overall course duration estimate, not tied to a specific learner. Is that right?
HI Chris! That's correct! The logs that I shared are from a Rise course published for SCORM 1.2. I also did a test for SCORM 2004 with similar results. The session time and total time are automatically sent to the LMS without additional configuration. You can test this by publishing your course and uploading it to SCORM Cloud. I hope this helps!

Hi Chris! I uploaded a course in SCORM Cloud, and I can see that cmi.core.session_time and Total Time is being tracked in the logs:
Is this the information you're looking for?
Hi Lea,
Thanks so much for the response. A couple quick questions...
This is a Rise course (not Storyline), correct?
Is it SCORM 1.2?
Does Rise automatically track and send session and total without having to specifically configure or set it to do so?
Thanks again,
Chris
