There’s more than one way to share Rise 360 content. You can submit it for publishing in Reach 360, export it for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Publish to Reach 360 Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Publish to Reach 360 If your Articulate 360 team uses Reach 360, you can submit training directly from Rise 360 for an admin to review and publish. If you're aReach 360 admin, you can publish directly to Reach 360. Non-Admin Reach 360 Roles Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360. The Submit to Reach 360 window displays (if the training was previously published, you'll see the date of the last publication). Set completion parameters. Learners can complete the training by viewing a specified percentage, passing a selected quiz lesson (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or both. You can also chooseNo Requirement. Note: If you lower the passing score of a quiz after the course is published, learners have to retake the quiz in the republished course to gain the benefit of the lowered score, even if their prior score would be a success with the new parameters. Selecting the Course Duration option displays the estimated time it takes learners to complete the training on the overview page. This is 30 minutes by default but can be overwritten with your own value. The Completion Celebration option displays an animated, confetti-filled, celebration for learners when they meet the completion parameters. Enable Certificate for course completion to provide learners with a downloadable completion certificate. Training has no due date by default, but you can select a set number of days to complete the training after a learner is enrolled or specify a due date. Use the searchable drop-down menu to select a specific admin to notify and add a note, such as if you'd like the training to be included in a specific library or if it's part of a learning path. Click Submit to complete the submission process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can submit a course. Once a Reach 360 admin reviews your submitted course and completes the publishing process, it’ll be available for learners. Reach 360 Admin Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Reach 360.

You can also select in which libraries the training appears. Assign topics, if any. Click Publish to finish the publishing process and return to the training. For courses, if you haven't added content to every lesson, you'll be reminded to do so before you can publish a course. Once published, the training is live in all specified libraries. Publish an LMS Package Export Rise 360 content as an LMS package when you need to track learners’ progress. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select LMS. Choose an LMS standard: xAPI (Tin Can API), SCORM 2004, SCORM 1.2, AICC, or cmi5. Note: For xAPI and cmi5,if you alter the pre-generated identifier, don't use special characters. Select a Tracking option: completion percentage, quiz result (in courses only, microlearning doesn't support quizzes), or Storyline block. If you're tracking by course completion or a quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you also get to choose a reporting option. Note: For microlearning content, only select complete/incomplete options are available for reporting. Decide if you want to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or Hide Cover Page. Selecting these options can help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates.

Audio clips, videos, and web objects become static placeholder images. Interactions, such as labeled graphics and tabs, become a series of screenshots, one for each item in the interaction. (Each flashcard becomes two screenshots, one for the front and another for the back.) A Storyline block becomes a screenshot of the first slide in the project. Quiz lessons and knowledge check blocks display questions and answer choices. They don’t show correct/incorrect responses or feedback statements.

Issue: SCORM 2004 v 3 & 4 courses getting stuck on random slides within an online course in our PeopleSoft LMS: next and submit buttons don't work. Strangely, some learners successfully complete the course the first time through; others have to retry multiple times (and progress is NEVER saved when this issue occurs); still others never successfully get through. When/Where: randomly at any time, for any learner, in any browser, in any course (Rise and Storyline) in our LMS (PeopleSoft). Can it be replicated? Yes. Though the issue occurs randomly, I can replicate the exact same issue every time when I manually disconnect my network cable, then reconnect. There's no indication that my connection dropped, but upon reconnect, the course is 'stuck'. The only way to exit it at that point is to close the window or use the browser's back button is the only option to get out--and doing so does NOT save progress, even if progress had been saved previously. What we've tried: clearing cache; multiple browsers; changing player settings (launch in new window and/or using the connectivity alert). Previous research informed us if we use SCORM 2004, our LMS requires either V3 or V4 and the Passed/Failed or Passed/Incomplete options, so we did not re-test those settings. Testing: one of the courses was tested in SCORMCloud and Reach 360 successfully--it never got permanently stuck in either LMS upon disconnect/reconnect. Also tested a sample SCORM 2004 V3 course from another vendor in our PeopleSoft LMS--that course was successful, never getting permanently stuck in the course. Question: is there a setting I'm missing? Do we need to alter our js files? I'm planning to compare the published output from the sample SCORM course from the other vendor to our published output files, but there are a LOT of files to look at. Does anyone have tips on what files to focus on? js? xsd? xml? Or ideas on what else to check?53Views1like4CommentsLaunching another SCORM module from a completed SCORM module?
Hi there, I don't know if my title is quite right, but what I'm asking is, if there is a way to automatically go to the next scorm module after the user completes the first one. We have 4 SCORM modules, but they are all part of one course. We are using a Moodle LMS. So, instead of the user completing and then closing the module to return to the main course screen to select the next module, we would like to see if when they complete the module, it will just go to the next module automatically. I hope that makes sense! Looking forward to hearing from anyone who knows! Thanks!47Views0likes2CommentsCourse completing in client's LMS in the first five slides
Hello All, We have multiple courses that we have completed for a client where it is completing early in their LMS, in the first five slides. The client uses SCORM 1.2 and the courses were initially set to complete at 100% of slides viewed. We have made the following changes to try to resolve this issue: Added a manual course complete trigger to timeline start of last slide and changed the tracking to Using triggers to complete course. Changed version number in Reporting and Tracking Options. Changed Identifier information in Reporting and Tracking Options. Published out a brand new sample project with the tracking set to when the learner has view 100% of slides to eliminate any other variables that may be slipped in during development. This resulted in the same early completion. We are unable to recreate this issue in SCORM Cloud. All courses test and, based on the debugger, send a complete status on the final slide. We are in the process of reaching out to the client's LMS support for troubleshooting, but in the meantime, I was wondering if anyone has come across this issue before.41Views1like3CommentsProgress Tracking
I am exporting a course built in Articulate Storyline with 3 "scenes" or modules. Ideally, we would like the progress bar in our LMS to show the exact point where the learner is, even if they close out of the course part way through a module. As of now, I am able to get one of the three scenes to track the progress as complete/incomplete with only either 0% for incomplete and 33% for complete, as well as the check mark and unlocking the second module for the learner to continue. However, with the exact same export settings adjusted for increased slide #s, the second and third exported scenes uploaded into our LMS aren't registering as complete/incomplete, % change on progress bar, or check mark to show completion. Here are screenshots of the export settings that I am using for the first module (the one that is working/tracking progress) and the only difference with the other two is I've changed the tracking "slides viewed" number to indicate the number of slides in those scenes (36 of 73 for scene 1, and then 62 of 73, and 73 of 73 for the two unsuccessful scene exports). Our LMS is through Adobe. Underneath those two screengrabs, I've included one of the LMS, showing how the first module gets a check mark upon completion, but after completing the second module there is no check mark or increase of progress bar. Please let me know any tips or advice on this issue, or if there is a direct contact I can inquire about this issue with, thanks in advance!134Views0likes0Comments
