31 TopicsRise 360: Share Content with Learners
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. The Publish 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. Turn on library visibility. 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. Click Publish in the upper right corner again to generate the package. (If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue.) Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Upload the zip package to your LMS. If your LMS requires you to identify the launch file, point to indexapi.html. Note: If you delete a lesson in your course, then update the course in your LMS, some learners might see a blank page. If this happens, selectMore settingsand click theReset Learner Progressoption when you export your course. Then, when learners launch the newly updated course in your LMS, their progress will be reset. Their quiz data will be retained. This option isn't available for xAPI exports. Publish a PDF File Need to print Rise 360 content? Or download it for compliance documentation? Good news! You can export it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select PDF. The PDF file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to keep working while Rise 360 generates your PDF file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the PDF before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. That’s it! You can read the PDF file offline, print it, distribute it to others, or even attach it to your Rise 360 content as an optional download using an attachment block. Want to see a video demonstration? Click here! Here’s how the interactive parts of your Rise 360 content appear in the PDF file: Hyperlinks work as expected and launch in your default web browser. 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. Publish Web-Only Output If you don’t need to track learners’ progress, you can export Rise 360 content as web-only output and host it on your own web server. It’s easy! Open the content from your Rise 360 dashboard, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen, and select Web. The zip file is auto-generated. If there are any errors, such as a blank lesson, Rise 360 will ask if you want to edit the content or continue with the export. Click Back to... in the upper right corner to continue working while Rise 360 generates your zip file. When it’s ready, you’ll receive an email notification with a download link. (For small deliverables, you may immediately be prompted to download the zip file before you have a chance to go back to the course editor. Just choose a location on your computer and click Save.) Click the download link in the notification email, then click Download Contenton the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Extract the zip package and upload the contents to your web server. If you don't have access to a web server, here are some free options: Amazon S3 offers free hosting with generous usage limits. If you go over your limit, you'll be charged a small fee. See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Amazon S3. Google Cloud also has a free hosting service. You'll be charged a small fee if you go over the free limit.See this video tutorial by Tom Kuhlmann to learn more about Google Cloud. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file.9.7KViews0likes0CommentsRise 360: Translate Your Content
There are almost as many ways to say “Hello” as there are ways to make Rise 360 content. That’s why we make it easy to export your content to an XLIFF file for localization into left-to-right languages and scripts with double-byte character sets. Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create will become the translated version. Translating into more than one language? You can make a copy for each one or try out the alternate method below. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Translations tab. If you don’t need to preserve formatting you’ve applied to your text, deselect Include HTML formatting. This exports your content in easy to translate blocks of text. However, it doesn’t contain the coding necessary to maintain any formatting you’ve applied to that content. To change the source language for your course enter the language code in the field. As you type, a list of available language codes appears. The default is U.S. English (en-us). Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Then use a web app, computer program, or professional translation service to edit your XLIFF file. If Include HTML formatting is selected above, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your XLIFF file. Don't panic! These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file in Step 3. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Got your newly-translated file? Great! Open your duplicate content again. Click Settings in the upper right corner, go to the Translations tab, and click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when yourtext is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this course,” make sure you’re in the content from which you originally exported your XLIFF file. The XLIFF file is content-specific, so it can't be exported from one deliverable and imported into another. If you see a different error, the XLIFF file may be incomplete or corrupt. Download a fresh copy of the file and try again. If downloading a fresh copy doesn't work, make surethere aren't any blank section or lesson titles in your course. All section and lesson titles have to have content. Where did my formatting go? If you deselected Include HTML formatting in step 2, any formatting you applied to your content prior to importing the translated file is not retained. And let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Don’t forget to translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner and go to the Labels tab. For more information on how to translate labels, click here. Translate Training into Multiple Languages Need to translate your training into more than one language? One method is to make multiple copies of the course, then translate those copies. But we like this alternate method since you don't have to keep track of which XLIFF file goes with which training copy. Export your XLIFF file as described in Step 2 above and then duplicate the training so you have a copy in the original language. Translate your XLIFF file into all the languages you need. Import one of the translated XLIFF files to the original training. Duplicate your translated training to have a separate copy. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all additional translations. Voila! We find it's quicker and easier to just "overwrite" your original file and make copies. We think you will too!5.7KViews4likes0CommentsRise 360: Use Your Dashboard to Manage Content

Articulate 360 Teams can easily collaborate on Rise 360 content. Create and edit different lessons in a course at the same time or take turns fine-tuning the same content. Collaborative authoring is exclusively available to Articulate 360 Teams. Not a teams subscriber? Contact an Articulate 360sales representative to learn more. You can share and manage items individually, which we'll talk about in this article, or via team folders. If you're collaborating on multiple items, the Team section provides options for a more efficient process. Tip: You can also send a copy of Rise 360 content to another Articulate 360 user. However, each of you will have an independent copy, which is useful when you’re working with an individual Articulate 360 subscriber. It’s not real-time collaboration as described in this user guide. Add Collaborators to Content Change a Collaborator’s Role Collaborate on Content with Other Authors Remove Collaborators from Content Remove Yourself from a Content Transfer Content to a Different Owner Add Collaborators to Content You can add as many collaborators as you want to Rise 360 content as long as they have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. Collaborators don't have to be on the same team; they just need to have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content on which you want to collaborate. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Enter an email address for each team member who should have access to the course and click Invite. Click Close. Each team member you invite receives an email notification, and the course automatically appears on the collaborator's Rise 360 dashboard in the Team section. Collaborators also see the owner's avatar on the course tile. Change a Collaborator’s Role Collaborators can have one of three roles: TheOwner can do everything. AManager can do everything except edit labels, transfer ownership, set a Share password, or delete the course. An Editor can't access any of the menu options. They can only edit the course. By default, collaborators are assigned the editor role. You can update their role at any time. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content on which you’re collaborating. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab. (You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Modify a collaborator’s role from the drop-down menu in their list entry. Click Close. Managers can remove themselves as collaborators. Note: Adding a manager or editor doesn't transfer ownership. Only the owner can transfer content. Collaborate on Content with Other Authors Everyone on your team who has access to Rise 360 content can work on it simultaneously. Changes appear immediately. Here’s how each feature works with collaborators. Edit the Title, Description, and Author Only one author at a time can edit the content title and description. When someone else is editing either field, it’ll turn gray and you’ll see the author’s profile picture or initials beside it. Anyone can change the author that displays in the published content. Just click the Author drop-down list and choose one of the collaborators or hide the author altogether. Add New Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can add new section headers and lessons to course outlines. Edit Section Headers Only one author at a time can edit an existing section header. When someone else is editing it, it’ll turn gray and you’ll see the author’s profile picture or initials beside it. Edit Lessons You can edit any existing lesson in the course unless someone else is currently working on it, in which case you’ll see his or her profile picture or initials and when the last edit occurred beside the lesson in the course outline. If you click the Edit Content button for a lesson that another author is currently editing, you’ll have the option to take control of the lesson. We recommend contacting the other author, as a courtesy, before taking control of a lesson, since taking control will lock him or her out of the lesson. Edit Question Bank Quizzes and Knowledge Checks All collaborators can edit quizzes and knowledge checks created with question banks as long as the source question bank has been shared with them. Quizzes and knowledge checks created manually can be edited as normal. Delete Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can delete section headers and lessons unless they’re currently being edited by other authors. Rearrange Section Headers and Lessons All collaborators can rearrange section headers and lessons in the course outline—even when they’re being edited by other authors. Preview the Content All collaborators can preview the content. Share, Review, and Export the Content Only the owner or a manager can share the content with learners, publish it to Review 360 to collect feedback from stakeholders, and export it for hosting in an LMS or web server. Share the Review 360 Content with Non-Articulate Users Only the owner can allow content published to Review 360 to be shared with users that don't have Articulate IDs. Modify Theme/Settings The owner and managers can modify the settings, including theme, navigation mode, and collaborators. Note: Edits you make in the theme or settings menus can potentially override those of another user. Make sure to coordinate with your team so that you're not modifying settings simultaneously. Edit Text Labels Only the owner can edit text labels. Send, Duplicate, and Move the Content Only the owner or a manager can send, duplicate, and move the content. Managers can only move the content with the Team directory. Delete and Restore the Content Only the course owner can delete or restore the content. Here’s how to transfer ownership to another author. Remove Collaborators from Content Course owners and managers can remove other collaborators. Course managers can also remove themselves. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content you need to edit. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over each team member you want to remove from the content, click the X that appears, then click Remove to confirm your choice. Click Close in the upper right corner to return to the editor. When you remove collaborators, the content disappears from their Rise 360 dashboards. If they’re editing the content when you remove their access, they’ll immediately return to their Rise 360 dashboards. Remove Yourself from Content Managers can remove themselves from content. Editors must be removed by the owner or a manager. Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the course you want to remove yourself from. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab. (You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over your name and click the X that appears, then click Remove to confirm your choice. Owners can’t remove themselves from content, they must transfer ownership first (see below). Transfer Content to a Different Owner Only the owner of content can transfer ownership to another author. Here’s how: Go to your Rise 360 dashboard and open the content you want to transfer. Click Settings in the upper right corner of the editor and select the Collaborators tab.(You can also click Share and choose View collaborators to get to the same screen.) Hover over your name in the list of collaborators and click the Transfer link that appears. Select a collaborator to be the new owner and click the Transfer button. (If the new owner isn't already in your collaborators list, you'll need to add them first. See above.) Click Close in the upper right corner to return to the editor. Note: Other collaborators remain when you transfer ownership.2.9KViews0likes0CommentsAI Assistant: Setting the Stage for AI Magic
Before diving into the course creation process, you want your authoring tool to be tailored to your specific requirements so you can focus on developing high-quality content. With features designed to streamline your workflow, AI Assistant allows you to do just that. Available only in Rise 360, AI Assistant’s course outline generation and AI settings features boost your efficiency—setting the stage for AI magic! Get a Head Start Just as a builder uses a blueprint, course authors depend on a well-organized outline to guide learners toward their objectives. AI Assistant’s course outline generation feature jumpstarts your course creation process by instantly generating a course title, description, and full set of lesson titles based on your chosen topic or source material. To get started, click the Create New button on the left of the Rise 360 dashboard, hover on Course, and choose Start with AI. Using custom prompts, guide AI Assistant by describing your topic, target audience, and learning objectives. The more details you provide, the better the suggestions will be. If you have existing source content, upload it for AI Assistant’s reference. Otherwise, you can rely on AI Assistant’s general knowledge. Pro tip: Currently, AI Assistant doesn’t use Bloom’s Taxonomy or other similar frameworks when analyzing what you enter in the learning objectives field. Therefore, you’ll get the best results by entering high-level topics or traditionally formatted learning objectives. For instance, if you enter “Tennis rules” as a high-level objective, AI Assistant generates a generic outline based on that topic. If you want specific outcomes, however, you might enter “Learners will be able to summarize the rules of tennis” to generate more targeted output. AI Assistant will generate a few course title suggestions first—you can pick one from the list or make further changes. Then you can proceed with the outline generation. Refine the outline as needed before applying it. For example, you can edit the number of lessons, change the lesson titles, or reorganize the lesson order. Once you’re happy with the result, click Insert Course Outline. From there, you can use AI Assistant to add content to each lesson by clicking the Add Content button next to the lesson title. When you generate a new block inside a lesson using AI Assistant, you’ll see suggested topics based on your course outline. At any time you want to review your AI-generated course outline, click the View course outline button below the title on the course overview page. This opens the AI settings window to the Course outline tab. You can also click AI Assistant in the top right, select AI settings, and then click the Course outline tab. Here, you can copy the course outline content with just a click. However, this view doesn’t reflect any changes made to the lesson titles after the course outline generation, only the course title updates. Keep Any Documents Handy As a course author, you probably start gathering assets and reference materials right after choosing a topic and writing an outline. While you can now generate content from scratch using AI, you may also want to create courses based on existing documents. You can import source documents to use as a reference whenever you want to generate new content using AI Assistant. But instead of uploading reference materials each time, you can keep them all in one place by uploading them in the Source content tab of the AI settings window before you start. Access AI settings from the AI Assistant dropdown menu in the upper right. Drag and drop files into the Source content tab or click Choose file to upload them. Supported files include PDF, DOC/DOCX, PPT/PPTX, and TXT/TEXT of 100 MB or less that contain up to 200,000 characters. Note that AI Assistant only references extractable text in your source document, skipping images, audio, video, and content found in the Notes section of a PowerPoint file.
