Yes. You build a Rise course once, and it's fully responsive. You don't have to do any extra work to make a Rise course fit perfectly on each computer, tablet, and smartphone. It automatically adapts to each device and screen orientation. It couldn't be easier to create beautiful courses for any device.

No. To create Rise courses, you need a Mac or Windows computer and a supported browser. You can, however, view Rise courses on any device.

Yes! With Rise collaborative authoring, team members can create and edit different lessons in the same course at the same time or take turns fine-tuning the same lesson. Learn more.

Rise courses can’t be exported. Rise is a holistic online training system. You can create courses, enroll learners, and track their progress—all in Rise! Learn more.

We currently support importing SCORM content from any authoring app and tracking learners' results in Rise. We don’t support importing courses from an LMS or the import of AICC, xAPI (Tin Can API), or cmi5 packages.

You can’t yet import PowerPoint (PPT, PPTX) files directly into Rise. However, you can use a third-party tool to convert your presentation to an LMS package and import that package into Rise.

Rise courses can't be public, nor do they support anonymous participation. Each learner must be a member of your Rise team. You can make courses visible to your whole team by publishing them to your course library.

Rise isn't fully compliant with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) yet. We're working on WCAG 2.1 compliance now and will share the details in a voluntary product accessibility template (VPAT) when it's ready. So far, we’ve increased the contrast for built-in course features, added alt text for images, made course content keyboard-accessible, and added closed captioning for videos. You can read more about what we're doing to make Rise more accessible in our Accessibility Journey.

Yes, you can! Rise supports translation for left-to-right languages and double-byte character sets, such as Chinese and Japanese.

Not yet, but we might add support for right-to-left languages such as Hebrew and Arabic in the future. 

Rise uses industry standards and the latest technologies to reduce file sizes so courses load quickly without compromising quality. We recommend using the highest quality media in your courses and letting Rise do all the work of optimizing them. See this article for tips on using pictures, videos, and narration in Rise.

Rise uses Embedly to embed rich media in courses, which means you can use videos, images, documents and other media from over 400 content providers, such as YouTube, Vimeo, Instagram, and Scribd. See the complete list of supported content providers here. 

Just copy the URL for the media you want to use and paste it into Rise. It's that easy!

You can send a copy of a course to other authors on your team.

Admins can delete courses you submitted for publishing, but they can't delete projects from your Create dashboard. If an admin deletes a course, learners won't be able to find it or take it. However, you can still find it on your Create dashboard. The project tile will no longer have a status of Unpublished Changes or Published. The course report will remain unaffected unless it was also deleted. If you submit the course to be published again, learners have to be re-enrolled. 

If you delete a course from your Create dashboard and then delete it permanently from your Deleted Items folder, there’s no way to restore it. If the course has already been published to the library, learners will still be able to find and take it.
