Using Articulate Rise and Canvas

[natalie_hamilto]

Hi all. We are looking to introduce Articulate Rise into Canvas (for learning and associated activities - not assessments) and am wondering if anyone is open to connecting and talking about how they have gone about it, and any headaches problems they solved to help us get started. I am looking at either hosting in Canvas with an iframe or uploading into a page. Many thanks, Nat

hi @natalie_hamilto - Whilst I can't provide first-hand experience, I did see a lot of chatter on this Community post here which may be of assistance.

Hi @natalie_hamilto,

We use Rise in Canvas and have just started to roll this out to our students - they love the interactive nature of it. After playing with it, I found the following:

- the best way to present it in Canvas is to have SCORM turned on and upload your file into Canvas that way.  We upload it as an ungraded assessment which is then edited to not be included in the final mark and to open in another tab.  I found that it presents so much better than uploaded into a page (bigger and easier for students to read) and allows students to exit content to access assessment without accidently shutting down Canvas. Also presents well on a phone if using the Canvas app. 

- When exporting from 360, I click the exit course link - it allows students to exit the content easier in Canvas.  I export the file as a Scorm 1.2.

Articulate have some forums on this too (which I'm sure you have seen but here is a link to one: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise-360/using-articulate360-or-rise-360-with-canvas-lm...) 

Happy to answer any other questions you have!

Cheers, Carla

Thanks for this. Appreciate it. By chance - did you find a way for the immersive reader to pick up the RISE content?

Hello,

The problem I am having is the Scorm 1.2 zip folder I downloaded from Rise, will not be accepted into Canvas when I attempt to upload it as a whole. If I were to Open the folder, then some there are some contents within the folder that allow me the Open option but I get a " This file is not a valid SCORM package" error message. 

Any suggestions on which elements need to be uploaded?

Thanks,

Iris

Hi Iris,

How are you trying to upload this? Do you have SCORM enabled in your Canvas Instance? Or are you uploading to 'files'? SCORM 1.2 zip folder should be fine when going into the SCORM tool within Canvas. It must go as a zip folder.

Cheers

Kerri

Thank you @carla_scalia for the feedback!

What benefits would you have building the content in Rise versus Canvas LMS? The only one I see is the longevity if the org planned to leave the LMS. 

[natalie_hamilto]

It is 3rd party content for a particular course. All our other courses, like you, have been built directly in Canvas. It is something we are trying. Pros and cons to both. Thanks

Ha! The only benefit for me is that my employer is now moving ALL compliance training to a new and different LMS that absolutely requires a SCORM package, but the training in the new LMS will only be available to people on the payroll, yet I work at a major research university where a good number of our students are, well,  students, and hence not on the payroll. Now I will need to manage my content in two locations, Canvas for students and the new HR "solution" for everyone else. My plan, though I have not tried it yet, is to use the identical content, so I want to move the new RISE content into both the new LMS AND Canvas. It is not a good solution, but my paygrade does not allow me to do anything about it even though I see it as a recipe for disaster on both safety and compliance grounds.

Hi everyone, I'm curious is anyone looking to reconnect on this topic? I have a New Zealand based client working with Articulate365 who'd appreciate the opportunity to connect with any clients on workflows and design.
