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 finished product
This is how our Rise 360 microlearning project looks at the end of this explainer series. Welcome to An introduction to Generative AI!
The example above shows a near-final product based on the content included at the end of this series. It would be subject to final changes and finessing before being released to clients.
Here’s the PDF version of the above microlearning, downloaded from Rise 360 at the end of this series:
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?
Once you’ve created learning content, it needs to be viewable by your audience (which couls include staff, students or other clients). Rise 360 includes quick and easy ways to publish the micro learning. In this explainer we look at the three main methods shown below:

Use our example content
This explainer does not require additional assets. Here’s the ‘thank you’ image we went on to add at the end of this microlearning:
Good to know
As mentioned in the explainer, Articulate offer their own publishing platform called Reach 360. This is not available as part of the free 30 day demo account and is outside the scope of this series. More information about Reach 360.
Creating a PDF version of online learning is considered good practice, even if users are expected to work through it online. Offering a pdf ‘copy’ increases accessibility and supports downloading for offline use. Of course, if the learning relies heavily on quizzes / video, the pdf version will be of limited use.
Where to next?
That’s the end of this introductory explainer series! .
Rise 360 is regularly updated with new features, so look out for new blocks and improvements to block options. At time of writing Articulate have said that AI will be added ‘soon’, which is likely to speed up your development even more and will probably include AI generated quiz questions and text content.
