Rise is a rfully esponsive tool, it is templates to some degree. I can see me using it with a lot of clients who need responsive courses but do not need the custom interactions that I would build in Storyline.
Different style of packaging and output. Storyline is largely constrained to a slide-based layout. When you want something that's more like an interactive article with media, that you also want to fit to whatever screen you'd like to target, then you might prefer Rise over Storyline.
It's limited. But sometimes that's all that you need.
My impression from the beta would be for very quick authoring using one of the templates. I used it to make some very quick instructional videos. Whereas I lose some of the functionality of Storyline, I was able to generate content extremely quickly which scaled perfectly on every device I trried.
Rise is an amazing new web-based authoring app that is part of Articulate 360. Rise makes it incredibly easy to create inherently responsive courses that are simply gorgeous.
Personally, I think Rise is a great way to enhance your training team’s agility and empower SMEs to create lightweight e-learning, fast. In fact, it’s so simple to use you don’t have to train SMEs on it. They can hit the ground running and they’ll be astounded by how beautifully pro their courses look. It truly takes just minutes to build a Rise course. Just check out this sample.
I am in the new 360 and lots of cool new stuff. Admittedly I have shifted a lot of my content to ISping because of the adaptive issue. I have had a lot of compatibility issues with Storyline in the past so mostly use Presenter and Ispring. Having said all that I think Rise could be a game changer. It a simple authorware and since I do compliance training with SME's the prebuilt storyboards are awesome and will help me rapidly deploy content. I have some testing to do inside our LMS but if all goes well this product is worth the price of a subscription.
Hi Philip. Rise doesn't currently support localization features, however you can add your localized content to Rise. Some of the UI features like the Start button, Quiz score feedback, etc. will still be in English.
Will there be a way to edit colors or fonts for Rise in the future? That orange is so bright!
Also, I wasn't able to edit anything in Rise while on Internet Explorer. As my company uses Internet Explorer internally, and will do so for the foreseeable future, I would like to know more about browser support, please.
Can a Rise course be launched from a browser? Is it SCORM compliant? I've used Adobe Spark to create web based evacuation instructions that are linked to from our intranet. Rise seems much like Spark.
@Phil and @Adam-Thanks. I assumed the "Setting Button" was for the whole site, not just for the course. It is a bit disappointing that you can't author anything in Internet Explorer. Is there a list of browser support for the other web based apps, too, please?
Loved the Rise demo, and it may address a problem I was looking to solve a different way until the announcement - a light, web-based course that needs to work on desktops and phones. Two questions so far:
- I created a great interaction (in Storyline, of course) and it's hosted on an external website. Is there a way to embed that into a Rise project, in an I-Frame, so that it plays inline? When I choose Embed > Multimedia and add the URL, Rise inserts a link out to that site. Adding the URL inside an I-Frame doesn't seem to change that behavior.
- Is there a way to embed xAPI / Tin Can calls via Javascript within the authoring tool ("when the user selects this check box, send this statement to the LRS")? If not, am I correct that the code would need to be added manually, in the HTML output?
Thanks for the feedback Doug. Right now there's no way to do that primarily because of multi-device support, but we definitely have it logged on our board. Yeah, you'd have to add code to the export.
Does Rise allow you to use hotspots? We develop software training where the user clicks a specific spot on an image to progress to the next step/slide.
No hotspots currently, Jessica. A couple of things you make want to look at:
1) Labeled graphic - great for calling out parts of an image 2) Blocks - within the Gallery category, try out Carousel. User can step through a series of images and you can caption each.

What about multiple languages?

Localization is on on the roadmap so hang tight!

You can already change the colour in the settings for each course. Not sure about fonts you have a limited list at the moment
Go to Setting at the course level and you edit colors and fonts.
Here's the list of supported browsers for both authoring and playback, at the moment.

Yes, Rise is all web-based. It's SCORM compliant. It's everything!
Thanks Adam

Hi Rachel. Regarding browser support, we've got a link that specifies exactly that for all 360 products. You can check that info out right here.
Thanks, Trina! That’s the kind of list I was looking for.

Thanks, Adam! Do you know if there is a plan to include this option, eventually?
It could be an interesting block type. We'll consider it for sure.
Great! Thank you
