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. You can use only one upload option at a time.

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?

Opus only supports files exported from Rise 360.

Storyline files aren't compatible with Opus's mobile-first format and translation, which limits Opus's ability to play them.
