Select to Launch

This course is intended for beginner-level eLearning authors new to Articulate Rise 360.

It begins with a brief introduction reviewing the key benefits of Rise 360, which is then followed by a video demonstrating a rapid authoring process using Rise 360’s microlearning templates. The video covers the entire process starting with signing in to Rise 360, finding and selecting the desired interactive microlearning template, customizing it, reviewing it with stakeholders using Review 360, and then publishing the finished masterpiece.

After the video, an interactive module exists allowing the learner to control navigation in a step-by-step process repeating what was essentially covered in the aforementioned video.

Objective: This course was created as part of an upskilling effort for instructional designers and eLearning developers who had minimal prior exposure to Articulate Rise 360. The course offers a view into Rise 360’s interface, how to navigate around in it, and ultimately produce a published interactive course.
