Version Controls in Rise 360

Rise version control is often requested here, but it is currently not a function in Rise.

You need to do your own version control.

Regarding which version of a course someone took, that is something that would be tracked by your LMS, not Rise.

Along those lines - How are people doing their own version control?  and in particular for places where we have two courses that have some of the same content but have different audiences (for example one version has instructor notes).  Is anyone doing anything that feels scalable for managing content blocks so that if something changes, you can minimize the number of places you make the change?  (author once/publish multiple)

When we create a new Rise course, we use a signed-off course design document in MS Word format.

The document contains the entire course, structure, content, quiz questions, descriptions of interactions and media, etc. This is the course blueprint and we develop the Rise course exactly as specified in the document.

Over the life of the Rise course, we always keep the Word document updated. If anything needs to change in the Rise course, we first update the Word document, and then update the Rise course to match.

So we use Word documents for our version control. 

In terms of "author once/publish multiple times", this is something Rise is not good at.

We also have several courses that have some of the course content, and even if you use Template blocks, making a change in one course does not automatically update the same content in the other courses. At least using templates, you can ensure that the change is made consistently even though editing is a manual and repetitive process.

Don't suppose you could share your design document Karl (it sounds really excellent) obviously without any actual course content.  I'm interested to understand the structure you use. Thanks.  Gary
