Rebuilding training you already made in Articulate Rise 360 takes time. AI Assist converts a Rise 360 SCORM export into a Module in Opus, bringing over the text, media, and quiz questions.
From there, finish editing the Module in the Opus builder, publish it, and assign it to your team.

How to Import Articulate Rise 360 Files
In the dashboard, go to Training > Library and select the Modules filter.
Click New Module, then click Import Articulate Rise 360.
Click Upload ZIP file (or drag your .zip into the box).
Once it finishes validating, click Generate Module.
The new Module opens on the Build tab. It shows Importing Articulate Rise 360... while AI Assist converts your SCORM package.
When the conversion is complete, review and edit the converted Module and its Courses. Changes save automatically.
Each lesson in your Rise 360 course becomes a Course in the Module.
Text, media, and questions are converted to their Opus equivalents, as shown in the table below.
The new Module is tagged Articulate Rise 360 in your Library.
Media in the course has to be saved to your Library if you want Trainees to have access to it outside of the course.
Click Publish in the top right corner, then confirm in the Publish module dialog to publish your Module and its Courses.
💡 Multitask while it converts: Conversion typically takes up to 5 minutes, depending on file size. You can leave the builder while AI Assist works.
How Articulate Rise 360 Components Translate into Opus
Text | Text transfers as-is, with simple formatting such as bold, italics, and lists. |
Media | Images, videos, and file attachments in your Rise 360 package transfer into Opus. |
Questions and knowledge checks | Opus supports nearly all question types available in Rise 360: Rise 360 questions become interactive screens: Multiple Choice, True or False, Short Response, Matching, or Open-Ended. Multiple response questions become Multiple Choice screens with Select all that apply turned on. |
Question settings and feedback | Rise 360 block settings and answer feedback aren't imported. Opus doesn't support: To shuffle answers, turn on Randomize order under Choice options on a Multiple Choice or Image Choice screen after import. |
💡 Finish each Course: AI Assist speeds up the content transfer, but you still need to finish editing each Course before the training is ready for your team.

FAQ
Can I export the Opus Module to a SCORM package?
No. Opus doesn't export to SCORM. You can export Courses and Modules as PDFs from the … menu > Export PDF.
What if I don't know whether a SCORM package was built in Rise 360, or it came from a third party?
Test and preview the file with a tool like SCORM Cloud.
Seeing all of the file's contents helps you know what to prepare for export from Articulate Rise 360.
Can I upload multiple file types in one import (for example, a PDF and a SCORM package to create one Module)?
No. Each import takes one .zip file from Articulate Rise 360.
What are the big differences between the Opus builder and Articulate Rise 360?
Mobile-first vs. desktop design: Rise 360 offers responsive design. Opus is built for mobile-first learning, with a native app and an interface optimized for training on the go.
Translation: Opus automatically translates content into 100+ languages, while Rise 360 requires manual translation or third-party services.
Interactive features: Rise 360 focuses on conventional eLearning elements like click-and-reveal, while Opus emphasizes engagement features like microlearning.
I have Articulate Storyline. Why can't I upload that into Opus?
The import only converts SCORM packages exported from Articulate Rise 360. It can't convert Storyline files into a Module.
Storyline files aren't compatible with Opus's mobile-first format and translation, which limits Opus's ability to play them.
