Estimated Seat Time or Duration of Course
Does Rise have a feature like Storyline360 that allows you to see an estimated Duration of the Course?
Teri, check out this resource. https://community.articulate.com/download/course-seat-time-estimator
We use it to estimate the timing of our courses. It works well as a middle-of-the-road estimate. We get some learners who spend more time than estimated and others who spend less.
Hi Cody,
The resource in your link is great, thanks!
It makes sense to do a manual calculation to get a more accurate idea of duration.

Hi Morpheus,
Thanks for your question!
Right now, there isn’t a way to see an estimated course duration in Rise.
We’d love to hear more about how this feature would improve your experience using Rise if you’d be up for logging a feature request.
If I can help with anything else please let me know!
Hi Allison,
Do you know if this feature request has ever been implemented. Knowing an approximate sitting time is useful for our learners as they plan their time. In Storyline 360, the system lets us know the approx time.
Asking a reviewing to guess the time it took them would be an incorrect time as the reviewer is (hopefully LOL) spending more time on the course. Likewise, as the course designer or SME, we are biased because we have a certain time in our minds that it should take.
Anyhow - not the most critical feature, but definitely useful :)
If you are using a LMS, it may be able to provide average completion times.
Hello Allison, It's been almost five years since you replied to this. Has there been any movement on adding this feature?
I agree as well! The course timing would help!
I agree this is a crucial feature!
I agree too. And it would be very helpful to see a calculation of the total duration of the embedded videos.
Yes, definitely would be helpful - people like to know what they are committing to...
Agreed! This would be extremely useful as at our business we need to send an estimated time to another team that schedules learning. All of these "training minutes" are tracked and are worth a significant amount of business resources. Not having accurate times for completion can lead to a loss of business productivity, and would be a huge value add for larger operations like ours!
Please add time estimates!
Seat time is one of the key features for development. Not sure why this feature is still not there when it's implemented in SL 360. In short, this will save us all time.
