Short form content: what does it mean for us, and is anyone actually using Rise microlearning?
Been mulling this over for a while and wanted to see what others think. Most people now consume information in short bursts. Shorts, Reels, TikTok. I don’t buy the idea that attention spans have collapsed, the same people happily sit through three hour podcasts and binge a whole Netflix series in a weekend. What’s collapsed is tolerance for padding. And our industry has churned out an awful lot of padded 40 minute modules with a locked Next button over the years, so maybe we’ve brought it on ourselves. My hunch is that short form becomes the reinforcement and performance support layer. Sixty second how-tos at the point of need, spaced refreshers after the main course, that sort of thing. Deep skill building stays long form but has to justify every minute. The bit that gets squeezed is the generic middle, the 30 minute click-through that nobody remembers a week later. There’s a catch though. Watching feels like learning but mostly isn’t. Short form is built for engagement, not retention, and without some sort of retrieval practice all you end up with is view counts. And some subjects just don’t work chopped into bits. I mostly develop safety and technical engineering training for heavy industry and you can’t build judgement about process safety from a stack of clips. Which brings me to the tools. Rise has had microlearning as a course type for a good while now and I hardly ever see anyone using it. Genuine question, are you? My suspicion is the authoring isn’t the problem, it’s everything around it. SCORM and a traditional LMS are a clunky fit for a two minute piece of content. Nobody logs into an LMS for 90 seconds. Reach 360 goes some way towards this, but plenty of us are tied to a corporate LMS and that isn’t changing any time soon. If Articulate are serious about this I think it’ll take more than a shorter course type. Content that can be scheduled and drip-fed out over days and weeks. Notifications that land somewhere people actually look, Teams, email, their phone. Analytics that measure something more useful than completion. Vertical, mobile first templates wouldn’t hurt either. A few questions then. Are your stakeholders asking for shorter content yet, or is it still all full courses? Is anyone using Rise microlearning at any real scale, and if so how are you delivering it? And what would Articulate need to build for micro content to properly work in your setup? Would be good to hear where others have got to with this.Reviewing without reading or listening com
Hello, I am a firsttime Rise 360 user. I designed a training and was reviewing it. It is allowing me to scroll down from lesson to lesson without me completely reading or listening to the voice that was recorded. It is marking the lesson complete just be scrolling down. Good thing is it is not completing the course without completing the quiz. Am I doing something wrong or is this an issue? My purpose will be defeated if my audience just scroll down lesson after lesson without actually reading / listening to the training content. Could you please review and revert? Thanks!Automatic Selection of preferred language in LMS/SCORM-Package
Hi there, I have a question about the localisation feature in Articulate Rise and would be grateful if anyone with similar experience could help me. 😄 My use case is as follows: Our course content is inside an Articulate Rise course and is exported as a SCORM 1.2 package to a Moodle platform. When the SCORM package is clicked, the user is directed to a pop-up containing the course contents. I understand that Articulate Localisation is the best way to generate and export Rise courses in multiple languages, as demonstrated in the following article and e-learning course: Articulate Localization: Publish Multi-Language Rise 360 Courses | Articulate - Community https://rise.articulate.com/share/wbbxvTJyDgfSsfVryNBVDjvmjdX8agsK#/ The best method I have found is to allow the user to select their preferred language at the beginning of the SCORM package using a dropdown menu, as demonstrated in this article: Multi-SCO SCORM Package with Language Select | Articulate - Community Is there any way to skip the dropdown menu and automatically display the correct course language based on the user's browser language or, alternatively, based on the user's Moodle profile fields? Ideally, this would not require much coding or a custom solution and would not change the current user flow when accessing course content. Any help or feedback on this issue would be much appreciated. 🙏 Best regards, FelixMagic Lesson Import
I tried to add a lesson to a course I started with AI, but when I tried to add a lesson by returning to the AI Outline, it wanted me to lose all the work I had already done editing the initial draft. I then tried to use the Magic Lesson Import but the format of the lesson was totally different than the previous lessons. Is there no way to add an additional lesson and follow the same format (blocks) with the AI assistant?[Bugs + suggestion] Rise 360 - List, block template, text size value
Hello, I'd like to bring a few issues to the team's attention. 1. Bug with the List block A bug appeared in the List block some time ago. Now, when you press the Enter key after typing the text for a bullet point, the next bullet is created correctly, but the cursor no longer moves to it. Instead, it remains at the end of the previous bullet's text, forcing you to click inside the new bullet before you can continue typing. 2. Font size display When I change the font size using the + and − buttons in the floating toolbar, the text size is updated correctly, but the font size value displayed in the toolbar does not refresh dynamically for certain blocks, such as the Accordion block and the Note block and dones not happen every time. The text size changes as expected, but the displayed value remains stuck on the previous size. 3. Persisting the Template blocks author filter We work as a team and have shared Template blocks created by multiple authors. There is already a filter that allows me to display only the blocks created by a specific author, which is very useful. However, this filter is not remembered. Every time I open the Template blocks library, I have to open the author dropdown again and select my name. Since I create around twenty blocks per page and dozens of pages per course, having to repeat this step every time becomes quite tedious. I would suggest adding an option to remember the selected filter (for example, "Show only my blocks") so that it persists each time the Template blocks library is opened. Thank you!YouTube videos not working
Hi! Some youtube videos work in Rise but don't play in the SCORM. Here is one example of a video on Rise (if I press play it works): The video appears in the scorm, however, when I press play, it does not play. This is the message that shows up: I've tried re-embedding, using different links from youtube, adding other videos, I tried to copy the whole course and add the video in the copy. The issue doesn't get fixed. Does anyone know what to do? Thank you!!! LaraLMS Tracking issue with Storyline 360 quiz in RISE
Hi all, right oh I've a bit of a learner tracking issue so here goes. We've built a course in RISE which has 3 sections. The first section is a Storyline 360 course added into a RISE block. The second part is a download and the final part of the course is a quiz. Ideally we want to track the number of quiz attempts, the learners score for each attempt and course completion via an LMS (we're testing on Moodle). Our SL quiz has been set like this. Results slide, failure layer resets the score and sends the learner back to the beginning of the quiz and the success layer takes the learner to the exit quiz slide. So here are the primary tests we've done. ********* Test 1. SL Trigger = Results Slide > Success layer only > Completed/Passed SL Export = Tracking > 'complete course' trigger RISE Export = Track SL block - KC RISE CONTINE Button = Activated once quiz passed. LMS Report = Does not track quiz attempts / Doesn't track score / Does mark course complete once passed. When student returns to quiz they are taken to the beginning of the quiz and once passed RISE continue button becomes active. ********* Test 2. SL Trigger = Results Slide > Success layer + Failure layer > Completed/Passed + Incomplete/Failed SL Export = Tracking > 'complete course' trigger RISE Export = Track SL block - KC RISE CONTINE Button = Activated on quiz completion LMS Report = Does track quiz attempts / Doesn't track score / Does mark course complete once completed, pass or fail. When student returns to quiz they are taken to the beginning of the course. ********* Test 3. SL Trigger = Success layer + Failure layer > No triggers SL Export = Tracking > 'when leaner completes quiz' RISE Export = Track SL block - KC RISE CONTINE Button = Activated on quiz completion LMS Report = Does track quiz attempts / Does track score / Does mark course complete once completed, pass or fail. When student returns to quiz they are taken to the beginning of the course. ********* I hope this gives you an idea of the sort of thing we've been trying. As I mentioned start of the post, how can we track learner quiz attempts, the learner score for each attempt and mark the course as complete once the quiz has been passed. I'm crossing my fingers that we're not the only ones who've come across this issue, any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys.Rise 360 Review button for a quiz
Is there a possibility in the future for Rise 360 to have the capability of having a review button or replay button to review what answers were correct and incorrect like Storyline? Also we would like the name and date on the result page of the quiz to show in LMS for tracking purposes. Can this be done in the future as well?
