Written by Ben Brunken

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.

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.

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, but 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.
