Embedding Rise output/link into Canvas LMS
Hello, I am new to Rise and Canvas and before progressing with the course build I need to know if these programs are compatible. Apparently Canvas is not SCORM or AICC compliant. I would prefer to h...
Thanks for all this info.To bring together,
I finally worked out how to take an Articulate Rise SCORM Module into Canvas as a link, rather than as an assignment. Here is the process I followed.
1. In Canvas, go to Files, and set up the folder that you want to hold the Rise material. You will need to set up a separate folder or subfolder for each Rise module that you want to export. For example, if you have a weekly introductory module, then you will need a separate folder for each week. If you don’t then all of the unzipped Rise files will be jumbled together. You MUST do this before starting the transfer.
2. In Articulate Rise, export your module as a SCORM 1.2 zipped file. Note its location (usually the ‘Download’ folder on your PC).
3. In Canvas, navigate to the relevant folder, and in the top right you will see an Upload button. Click that, and then navigate to the zip file you want to upload. When you click open, you will be invited to expand the file once uploaded – choose this option. Note that the alternative is simply to upload it, without unzipping and I assume you would then have to unzip it in the folder – I didn’t do this. You will then see the upload process – a red bar at the top of the Canvas page. It is quite a slow process.
4. Once uploaded, in Canvas, navigate to the folder called scormcontent and open. Right click on the file index.html and copy the link address.
5. Return to the Modules section of Canvas open the document in which you want to put the link. Open it for editing and click where you want to link to be placed.
6. Click on the link symbol in the toolbar at the top and paste the link in the box that opens. Click the Insert Link button and you should see a link appear on your Canvas page.
7. Be sure to save your change before you leave the page.
8. Clicking on the link brings up the usual Rise webpage.
Hi: Thank you for sharing this. One additional question for anyone who might be able to help. Using the method that Errol gave, I can now link to a RISE module that pops up in a new window without using the extra button in Canvas. We find it confusing because once someone closes the RISE module, if using the Assignment method, the page they're left with says to refresh to continue. So, Errol, this method was very useful. Now, the question - Our RISE module has the green checkmarks in the Index area so users know where they left off in the RISE module. Using Errol's method, it opens a new instance of the RISE module each time and doesn't keep track of the last part of the module a user completed. Can anyone suggest how to not use the Canvas Assignment method for linking to a RISE module in a new page but also keep the RISE green checkmarks for users so they know where they left off?
Anyone got a method that covers this aspect?
Doesn't seem to work with the SCORM assesments route (why is all SCORM assumed to be assessments anyway ) or by uploading the contents of a SCORM zip and linking to the SCOM package \index.html either.
