The Software
This series of explainers uses Articulate Rise 360, a popular application for quickly building and deploying online learning. It’s part of a suite of programs called ‘Articulate 360’ which also includes Articulate (a traditional, slide-based e-learning creation application) and the online review and commenting platform Review 360. Articulate refers to Rise as ‘Rise 360’ – We use the terms ‘Rise’ and ‘Rise 360’ interchangeably throughout this series.
You can download a free 30 day demo version of Rise 360 from Articulate’s website. This gives you access to a fully-functioning copy of Rise to use alongside our explainers.
Over the course of six explainers we’ll use Rise 360 to create a short ‘microlearning’ product introducing users to Generative AI is and showing them how they can interact with ChatGPT. We’ll include a short quiz at the end, and show how to export the short ‘course’ from Rise 360 to a range of formats including a PDF and html files to upload and use on our own website.

The pre-requisities
This is a BEGINNER workflow explainer series. Ideally you already need to be familiar with simple text and image editing.
Why would I do this?
Almost all online learning includes TEXT and IMAGES. Rise 360 includes templated ‘blocks’ for headings and text paragraphs:
Rise automatically adds a default ‘banner’ image at the top of every micro learning package you create, but the default image may not be relevant to your topic. For this reason, we’ll change the image to one of our own choosing:

Good to know
Remember to PREVIEW your micro learning at regular intervals. This is important in Rise 360 as the edit view can look different to the full preview. Just click the PREVIEW button at the top right of the window to switch over:
As mentioned in the explainer, there are additional options in the THEME tab. Be sure to review them before continuing!
