Articulate Localization makes publishing multi-language Rise 360 courses easy. Publish all language versions as a single package for your LMS or web server, and let learners choose which language to view when they launch the course. Or publish each language separately as its own package for LMS export if that’s what your LMS supports. For the best experience, publish your multi-language training to Reach 360 so your learners automatically see content in their preferred language. To start, click Publish on the top right of the course stack or while authoring a multi-language course. Choose from the following output types: Quick Share, Reach 360, LMS, Web, and PDF. Find more details for each type below. Quick Share Use Quick Share to easily distribute multilingual training directly from Rise 360 via a URL. QuickShare includes a per-course dashboard that tracks training views and, when the guestbook function is enabled, collects the names and emails of learners. Here’s more information about publishing courses to Quick Share. Learners select their preferred language from those available when they launch the URL. However, you can choose a default language by navigating to that language version first, then clicking Publish > Quick Share. Reach 360 Publishing to Reach 360 lets learners see the course in their preferred language (if available) and allows them to switch to other languages without disrupting their training progress. You can use the Language dropdown in the publishing options page to choose whether to publish all or a subset of your course languages. Then, select the same settings as you would when publishing Rise 360 content to Reach 360. Click Publish at the bottom to send all language versions directly to your Reach account packaged as a single training, as shown below. Learn more about how multi-language training works in Reach 360. LMS Publishing to LMS gives you the same LMS settings as when publishing Rise 360 content to the LMS. You also get the option to choose which languages to include and whether you’ll have a single package or separate LMS packages for each selected language. Click the Language dropdown to deselect any language you want to exclude. All languages are selected by default. Choose between publishing a single LMS package with all the languages you selected or publishing separate packages for each language. Each option is explained below. The Publish selected languages as a single LMS package option lets you upload one zip file to your LMS. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course, as shown below. The Publish separate LMS packages for each selected language option lets you download one zip file containing several other zip files, one for each language. You’ll need to unzip the main zip file, then upload each language zip file to your LMS. Click Publish at the top right to proceed with your chosen option. Rise 360 reports the language the learner chooses to the LMS when the course is published for AICC, SCORM 1.2, and SCORM 2004. For both single and separate package output, the learner’s language code is reported in the following fields: AICC: cmi.learner_preference.language SCORM 1.2: cmi.student_preference.language SCORM 2004: cmi.learner_preference.language If you need this information, check with your LMS admin to see if your LMS supports these fields. Cmi.student_preference.language, for example, is not a mandatory element in SCORM 1.2, so some LMSs might not support it. We're working on enabling this capability for xAPI and CMI5, and we’ll update this guide when it’s available. Note: Does your multi-language course have an [Early Access] tag? That means it was created in the early-access version of Articulate Localization and can’t be published as a single package with all the selected languages. Refer to this user guide for help using the early-access version. This article explains more about the new features available in the updated Rise 360 version of Articulate Localization, including how to convert your courses to the newer version. Web-Only The web-only output gives you a single course with all the available languages. Learners can choose their preferred language when they launch the course. Simply unzip the zip file provided and upload the contents to your web server. When the files are uploaded, give learners a link to the index.html file. PDF The PDF output gives you one zip file containing one PDF file for each language available in the multi-language course.2.3KViews1like0CommentsRise 360: Manually Translate Your Content
This article covers the process of manually translating Rise 360 content into left-to-right languages using XLIFF exports and imports. This method is best suited for single-language translation. Articulate Localization, available as a subscription add-on, allows for seamless creation of multi-language courses within Rise 360. Learn more by visiting the Articulate Localization user guide, or contact our sales team to learn how you can add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Read on for the manual process. Duplicate Your Content Export the Content as an XLIFF File Import Translated Text Translate Your Labels Translate Training into Multiple Languages Step 1: Duplicate Your Content The first step in the manual process is to duplicate the content you want to translate. The duplicate you create is used for the translated version. On the Rise 360 dashboard, hover over the content you want to translate and click the ellipses icon that appears. Select Duplicate. Enter a name for the duplicate content. (We recommend using the original course title, appended with the language code, such as “fr” for French.) Then, click Duplicate to confirm. The duplicate content appears at the top of your Rise 360 dashboard. Note that you'll need to create a duplicate for every language you want to translate your training into. Alternatively, with Articulate Localization, you can translate your content into 80+ languages (including right-to-left languages) and manage all language versions as a single project stack, right from the Rise 360 dashboard. Step 2: Export the Content as an XLIFF File Open the duplicate content you created in the previous step. Click the Settings icon in the upper toolbar. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. If you're following this guide, skip Steps 1 and 2. Under Step 3, 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. Enter the source language in the Set source course language code field if it's something other than U.S. English (en-us). As you type, a list of available language codes appears. Click Export XLIFF File and save the file to your computer. Edit your exported XLIFF file with a web app, computer program, or professional translation service. If Include HTML formatting was selected, you'll see additional HTML tags and extra spaces in your exported XLIFF file. These are there to preserve your formatting when you import your translated file. The following can't be translated using manual XLIFF exports: Code blocks: modify the code for each language after translation. Question banks: Questions drawn from question banks included in knowledge checks and quizzes display in their original language. To translate question banks, add Articulate Localization to your subscription. Tip: Rise 360 uses XLIFF version 1.2. Step 3: Import Translated Text Once you've translated your content, import the file back into Rise 360. Open the duplicate content. Click the Settings icon in the upper right corner. On the Translations tab, expand Traditional XLIFF Translation. Under Import, click Import Translated Text. Select your translated XLIFF file and click Open. A message displays when your text is successfully imported. Why am I seeing an error? If you see an error message that says the “Translation file doesn’t match this content,” 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 piece of content 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. 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. Let us know if you have any questions. We’re happy to help! Step 4: Translate Your Labels Once your content has been translated, translate your buttons and other built-in navigational elements. Click Settings in the upper right corner. Select the Labels tab. Follow the instructions in this article. Note: In order for the correct language to be assigned to your training so that assistive technologies can communicate the content with the correct presentation and pronunciation, labels must use the same ISO language code as your translated content. Translate Training into Multiple Languages For multiple-language training, we recommend Articulate Localization. Not only does it provide a streamlined experience for translating training into multiple languages, but it also offers a deep set of features custom-built for your translation needs.

Sharing Rise 360 training with a quick share link is easy. Quick Share is a lightweight distribution tool for rapidly sharing everyday training. It also offers a per-course dashboard that collects training views and, when the guestbook function is enabled, the names and emails of learners. Anyone can access content with a quick share link by simply copying and pasting the URL into a browser. Learners are taken directly to the content and can either start the training immediately or access the training after providing a password, guestbook information, or both. If your course is offered in multiple languages via Articulate Localization, users will be able to select an available language. Keep reading to learn more. Publish with Quick Share Access Engagement Metrics FAQs Publish with Quick Share Publishing a quick share link is available to course owners and managers only. Open the content to share from the Rise 360 dashboard. From the course outline or microlearning, click Publish in the upper right corner of the screen. Select Quick Share. At a glance, you'll see what settings are enabled. Skip to the final step if you don't wish to modify the defaults. To require a password to access the training, select the password status, enter a password, and then click Save. Learners won't have access to the training unless they enter the password whenever they use the quick share link. To disable the guestbook, click the guestbook status, toggle the guestbook Off, and click Save. This requires learners to enter their name and email address each time they access the training. To have quick share content update automatically as creators make changes, select the Live Updates status, toggle on Enable live updates, and click Save. Click Copy link to share the URL with your learners. Tip: Articulate Localization users, set the default language by navigating to that language in the stack and publishing to Quick Share from there. Learners will still be able to choose their preferred language. Update Quick Share Content When live updates are disabled, learners don't see content changes until they're published. When a creator makes changes to training shared via Quick Share, a blue dot appears next to the Publish menu. Another blue dot appears next to Quick Share. To make changes visible to anyone with the quick share link, select Quick Share and click Publish updates. Access Engagement Metrics Course owners and managers can view the number of learners who have viewed content by opening the Publish menu. The view count and number of guestbook entries are listed on the Quick Share option. Select Quick Share and click View engagement to see your Guestbook. Guestbook entries are sorted by view date, with the most recent views at the top. If a learner visits your training more than once, only their most recent visit is noted in the guestbook. Click Export to download a CSV file that includes learner names, email addresses, and the date they last viewed the training. Note: The view count includes repeat views by the same learner. You may need to refresh your training view to see the latest engagement information. FAQs How is Quick Share different from Reach 360? Quick Share is a lightweight distribution tool to rapidly share everyday training when robust reporting and learner management isn't required. Reach 360 is a full-featured learner and content management distribution platform with deep analytics. It supports advanced publishing options such as completion criteria and certificates, and it tracks learner progress. What if I already have Preview links for my content? If you've previously shared your content via a Preview link (also known as share links), those links will still work. However, they won't gather engagement information until you publish an update and distribute that new link as a quick share link. Please note that Preview links viewed prior to the Quick Share feature aren't included in the view count. I have a trial account—can I use Quick Share? Quick Share is available to anyone with an Articulate 360 account. However, during your Articulate 360 trial, external links and code blocks are disabled in content shared via Quick Share. How is Quick Share different from an LMS? Quick Share doesn't require a third-party platform to distribute content. Anyone can see a shared training without having to log in or create an account. However, advanced LMS features such as certification and centralized reporting aren't available when distributing via Quick Share. Can I embed content on my webpage using quick share links? No. If you embed a quick share link on your webpage (usually done by inserting the quick share URL into iframe code), the content won't display. We recommend publishing a web package if you need to host the content on your own server. Can I share quick share links outside of my organization? Will non-Articulate customers have to sign up for an account? Quick share links can be shared with any learner, not just members of your organization. These links take learners directly to the content without needing to sign in. Is there a way to log who views my quick share links? The guestbook is enabled by default for quick share links. When enabled, learners must enter their email, first name, and last name to access shared training. View learner information by selecting View engagement on the Quick Share screen for your training. Is there a limit to how many learners can view training via Quick Share? At this time, there are no limits on the number of learners who can view training accessed via Quick Share. Do quick share links expire? Quick share links expire only when the associated training is permanently deleted or when the subscription is deactivated. Why did my quick share link content show up in a search engine? Quick share links are public, but we prevent search engines from indexing our site. However, if you post these links on a public web page, they may be indexed by a search engine. If your training contains confidential or proprietary information, set a password to limit access.9.4KViews8likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Previewing a Course
Previewing is a great way to see the changes you've made to your course without publishing it. And with Storyline 360, previewing is easier and more powerful than ever. You can see how your course looks and behaves on any device and orientation with responsive preview options. Preview a Course Use the Preview Options Features Not Available During Preview Preview a Course To preview your entire course, do any of the following: Press F12 on your keyboard. Click any of the device icons on the responsive preview toolbar. Click the top half of the Preview button on the ribbon. Click the Preview icon in the lower right corner of the window (beside the zoom slider). To preview just a portion of your course, do any of the following: Press Ctrl+F12 to preview the current slide. Press Shift+F12 to preview the current scene. Press Ctrl+Shift+F12 to preview the selected scenes or slides. Click the drop-down arrow below the Preview button, then choose one of the preview options, as shown below. Use the Preview Options Use the buttons on the preview ribbon to do any of the following: Close Preview This closes the preview window and takes you back to wherever you were prior to previewing. Select This lets you preview a different slide in your course without closing the preview window. Replay This lets you replay your preview selection again. To preview a different portion of the course, click the drop-down arrow and choose one of the available options. Edit Slide This closes the preview window and takes you directly to the slide in your project that you were just previewing. Inspect This launches the built-in console. Device Icons Click any of the five device icons in the upper right corner of the screen to quickly switch your preview to another device or orientation, including: Laptop/desktop computers Tablets in landscape mode Tablets in portrait mode Smartphones in landscape mode Smartphones in portrait mode With Storyline 360, it’s super easy to see how your course will look and behave with the responsive player on any mobile device and orientation. Responsive Playback Properties Click the gear icon in the upper right corner of the window to open the Responsive Playback window where you can restrict which mobile device orientations learners are allowed to use. For example, if you build a course that works best in landscape mode and you don’t want learners to have a subpar experience by holding their mobile devices in portrait mode, just limit playback to landscape mode for tablets and smartphones. See this user guide for more information on responsive playback properties. Features Not Available During Preview Although most Storyline 360 content appears in preview just as it will after publishing, some features aren't available until you publish the course. Videos from websites, such as YouTube and Vimeo Web objects Engage interactions Full-screen toggle Email trigger Print-slide trigger Print results Hyperlinks may not work as expected during preview You Might Also Want to Explore: Interactive Demo: Which classic player features are supported on tablets and smartphones?1.4KViews0likes0CommentsReview 360: Use Comments to Give Feedback
While viewing a Review 360 item, use the sidebar to post feedback and participate in discussions along the way. Learn more about working with comments below. Read Comments Using the Comments Sidebar Using the Feedback Page Post Comments Inserting Emojis Tagging Other Reviewers Adding Attachments Annotating Screenshots Edit Comments Delete Comments Resolve and Reopen Comments Export Comments to CSV and PDF Files Disable and Re-Enable Comments Read Comments All reviewers can view comments. You can respond to or otherwise interact with comments using the comments sidebar or the feedback page. Read on to learn about each option. Comments Sidebar Feedback Page Using the Comments Sidebar The comments sidebar is in the default view for Review 360 items. This view allows you to see course content and watch videos. The comments sidebar displays comments for the content that’s currently displayed on the screen. For Storyline and Studio courses, comments are tied to specific slides, so the comments you see in the sidebar change as you move from one slide to another. For Rise courses, comments are lesson-specific, so the comments in the sidebar change as you switch lessons. For video content, all comments display in the sidebar simultaneously, with the newest thread on top. To see a comment in context, click its hyperlinked timestamp to jump directly to that point in the video. Brilliant! Collapse or expand the comment sidebar by clicking the arrow in the upper right corner. Sometimes it’s helpful to collapse the sidebar to have more space to view the content, especially on small screens. Hover your mouse over the edge of the sidebar and click and drag it to adjust the size. Reviewers who sign in with an Articulate ID see helpful badges for unread comments. A blue dot appears next to individual unread comments in the sidebar, and a red badge with the total number of unread comments appears next to the feedback tab at the top of the screen. Mark comments as read by clicking them, replying to them, or using the More (...) icon in the top right corner of the screen to Mark All as Read. Using the Feedback Page Click the Feedback link on the top right to launch the feedback page. This page lets you see all comments for a Review 360 item on one screen. Each thread has a screenshot to show you exactly how the content looked when the first comment was posted. These screenshots let you see feedback in context so you know what changes are needed. Click the screenshots to zoom in and out. You can change how comments are sorted for Storyline, Studio, and Rise courses. Click the sorting dropdown on the top right of the first comment to toggle between slide/lesson order and chronological order. Tips: Video content always displays comments in chronological order, with the newest thread on top. Comments for deleted Storyline 360 slides display below a "Scene not found" section. Post Comments All reviewers can add comments, emojis, @mentions, and attachments, and annotate screenshots. The process is the same for both the review and feedback tabs. Commenting on a Review 360 item is easy. Place your cursor in a comment box or reply field, type your comment or paste text from your clipboard, then press Enter on your keyboard or click the Post button. If you change your mind, click Cancel. When you start a new discussion thread, a screenshot of the content as it currently appears is automatically generated and attached to your comment. If you’re watching a video, the screenshot is captured as soon as you start typing. You’ll see these screenshots on the feedback page. Reviewers who subscribe to all comments will receive email notifications for new comments you post. And when you reply to an existing thread, you’ll see a list of reviewers who will be notified of your comment below the text-entry field. Tip: If you aren’t signed in to Review 360 with an Articulate ID, you’ll be prompted to enter your email address when you click inside a comment field. This allows you to receive notifications when other reviewers reply to your comments. (If you have an Articulate account, you’ll be prompted to enter your password.) Inserting Emojis Give your comments more personality with emojis. If you’re using a device with an emoji keyboard, simply tap the emojis you want to add to your comments. Or, click the emoji icon in the comment field and select emojis from the list. Tagging Other Reviewers Direct your comments to specific reviewers by tagging them. Here are two ways to tag people. Type @ followed by the person’s name or email address. A list of reviewers will appear as you type. Select the person you want to tag from the list. Click the @mention icon in the comment field and choose a reviewer from the list that appears. Who’s included in the @mention pick list? Great question! Everyone who has already commented on the current item appears on the list. And if you’re a member of an Articulate 360 Teams account, all your team members also appear in the list. Adding Attachments Add attachments to comments to keep your team on the same page. Attach images, videos, audio tracks, and more! To add an attachment, click the paper clip icon in the comment field, then browse to the file you want to attach. To download an attachment, just click it and choose where you want to save it. To delete an attachment, hover over it and click the X that appears. (You can only delete attachments that you uploaded.) You can attach up to five files per comment. Learn more about attachments. Annotating Screenshots When you want to provide more precise feedback, you can annotate the screenshot that’s included with your comment by starting a new thread discussion. Here’s how: Click the pen icon in the Comment field to take a screenshot. Use the tools in the toolbar at the top. Refer to the screenshot below and the table that follows for more information on each tool. Icon Function Grab Click and drag to reposition the toolbar. Draw Draw freeform lines and choose the stroke width. Highlight Draw semi‑transparent freeform lines and choose the stroke width to highlight an area without blocking the content. Rectangle Add rectangles to highlight words or regions and choose the outline width. Line Add straight lines and choose the line width. Text Add text for context and labels. Color Select an annotation color from the palette or enter a hex code, and then adjust the opacity as needed. To recolor an annotation: Select it and click the color icon. Undo Reverse the last action. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Z (Windows), Cmd+Z (macOS) Redo Restore the last action that was undone. Keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Y (Windows), Cmd+Shift+Z (macOS) Clear annotations / Delete selection Remove all existing annotations to start over. To delete an annotation: Select it and click the delete icon or press Delete on your keyboard. Other actions available: Move: Click and drag an annotation to reposition it. Resize and rotate: Click and drag the handles on the selection box of an annotation to adjust the size and rotation. Type your comment, then press Enter on your keyboard or click the Post button. The comment includes an “Annotated screenshot” badge to let others know there’s additional information in the screenshot. Edit Comments All reviewers can edit their own comments. Here’s how. Hover over your comment, click the drop-down arrow that appears, and choose Edit. Change the text, emojis, @mentions, and attachments as needed. See above for details. Press the Enter key or click the Post button to save your changes. Tip: If you don’t see a drop-down arrow when you hover over your comments, you’ll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. Delete Comments All reviewers can delete their own comments. Hover over the comment you want to delete, click the drop-down arrow that appears, and choose Delete. Here are some tips for deleting comments: While all reviewers can delete their own comments, the content owner can delete any comment by any reviewer. When you delete the first comment in a discussion thread, the entire thread gets deleted. You can't restore deleted comments. If you need to refer to a comment later, try resolving it rather than deleting it. If you don’t see a drop-down arrow when you hover over comments, you’ll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. Resolve and Reopen Comments Avoid confusion by resolving comments that have been addressed or are no longer relevant. Resolving Comments All reviewers can resolve comments. It’s easy! Hover over an individual comment or the first comment in a discussion thread, then click the checkmark icon that appears. Depending on your settings, the comment or thread will disappear or fade into the background. Tip: If you don’t see a checkmark icon when you hover over comments, you'll need to sign in to Review 360 with your Articulate ID or click inside a comment/reply field and enter your email address when prompted. Showing or Hiding Resolved Comments By default, resolved comments disappear. To see resolved comments, click the More (...) icon in the upper right corner of the screen and choose Show Resolved Comments. They’ll reappear with a faded or desaturated look so you can distinguish them from comments that are still open. To make resolved comments disappear again, click the More (...) icon in the upper right corner and choose Hide Resolved Comments. The show/hide setting is specific to each Review 360 item, so you can show resolved comments in one item and hide them in another. Review 360 remembers your choice, so you don’t have to reset it every time you open an item. Reopening Comments Sometimes you need to reopen a comment or discussion that was previously resolved. No problem! First, show resolved comments as described above, then hover over the comment and click the green check mark icon that appears. Export Comments to CSV and PDF Files Export comments from a Review 360 item for analysis, backup, or regulatory requirements. Here’s how. First, make sure you’re signed in to Review 360 with an Articulate ID. Then, click the More (...) icon in the upper right corner of the screen and choose Export Comments. Use the Comment Order drop-down list to choose how you want to organize comments in your report. Choose either CSV or PDF from the Export Format drop-down list. Click Export and choose where you want to save your report. All comments for all versions of the Review 360 item get exported to a single report. However, to include resolved comments in the PDF export, set the item to Show Resolved Comments first via the More (...) icon in the upper right corner before exporting. Disable and Re-Enable Comments Only the content owner can turn off comments. Here’s what happens when comments are disabled: The sidebar disappears from the review tab, and the feedback tab disappears altogether. If the review item already had comments, you won’t be able to read them unless you export them to a report. If the content owner enables comments again, all pre-existing comments will reappear. (Re-enable comments by clicking the More (...) icon in the upper right corner and choosing Enable Comments.)6.8KViews3likes0CommentsStoryline 360: Getting Started

Ready to distribute your Rise 360 content to learners? You’ve got options! In addition to using Quick Share and Reach 360, you can export your content for LMS distribution, host it on your own web server, or download it as a PDF file. Here’s how. Publish an LMS Package Publish a PDF File Publish Web-Only Output Publish an LMS Package If you use a third-party LMS, you can export your Rise 360 content in a variety of compatible formats. Rise 360 supports xAPI-, SCORM-, AICC, and cmi5-compliant LMSs. Open the content you want to publish from your Rise 360 dashboard. Then, 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. All content can be tracked by completion percentage or Storyline block. Courses can also be tracked by quiz result. If you're tracking by course completion or quiz result and exporting a SCORM, AICC, or cmi5 package, you can choose a reporting option. Note: Not all complete/incomplete options are available for reporting on microlearning content. Tracking completion through multiple options is available only when publishing to Reach 360. Choose whether to display an Exit Course Link for learners and/or toggle the Hide Cover Page option. Selecting these options may help resolve third-party LMS issues. Note that you can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates. Less-frequent LMS issues may be solved by options in the More settings menu: 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, toggle Reset Learner Progress and click Continue to confirm. 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. If your LMS supports hiding the Suspend, Continue, and Close buttons at the top of your training, you might see duplicate buttons in training exported using SCORM 2004. Toggle Hide LMS Interface to hide these extra buttons. 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 Content on the web page that opens. Choose a location on your computer and click Save. Upload the zip package to your LMS.

(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. Code blocks display a compatibility error message.

After creating a microlearning or outlining a course with lesson titles, it’s time to build your content. For courses, the next step is choosing lesson types or quizzes. For both microlearning and courses, you'll continue by selecting and editing blocks, components you can stack to create content that looks gorgeous on every device, in every orientation. Selecting Lesson Types (Courses Only) Selecting Block Types Selecting Lesson Types (Courses Only) After outlining a course, you build your content by creating blank lessons, importing prebuilt lesson templates, or adding quizzes. Blank Lessons To build a lesson from scratch, click Add Content and choose Blank Lesson. If a lesson already has content, click Edit Content to modify its text and media. Lesson Templates Rise 360 has an extensive collection of modular, fully customizable lessons on business topics relevant to every employee. Select Lesson Template to add this carefully researched content to your courses. Use these lessons to create entire courses or mix them with your own content to develop custom courses faster. See this article for more details on how they work. Quizzes Quiz lessons let you assess your learners or simply pique their interest. Add text and media, identify the correct responses, and provide optional feedback for learners. To get started, select Quiz, then choose from multiple choice, multiple response, fill-in-the-blank, or matching questions. See this article for details. To customize quiz settings, such as passing score, randomization, timing, and number of retries, click Settings in the upper right corner of the quiz editor. Selecting Block Types Rise 360 lets you stack a wide assortment of blocks to create custom learning experiences. Combine blocks to develop completely unique content—the possibilities are endless.
