I used Rise 360 by Articulate to create a rapid E-learrning instructional unit. The program is user friendly and allows the designer to simply paste in course content. Rise 360 itself creates the links, transitions, and theme. It even tracks progress and completion for the user. My instructional unit can be found here. If the subscription to Articulate has expired, please click here for a PDF of the instructional module.
In
this instructional unit, student will get an overview of the
organizational
features of Schoology, what resources are offered, and how to submit
work to Schoology.
In Rise 360, I used labeled graphics and an embedded video as the means
for presenting the information
about Schoology’s features. This allows the instructor to take a
screenshot of
the screen and provide rich detail all within the context of a page in
Schoology. Additionally, Rise 360 provides a quiz option which ensures
that the
learner is processing the instruction properly. This
instruction will come at the beginning of the school year, offering
students a
preview to Schoology before they begin working in it. Additionally, the
unit
can be embedded directly in the LMS. My district would need to have a
subscription to Articulate in order to export the unit the the LMS via
SCORM, AICC or xAPI. The completion status and scores from the practice
quizzes would transfer in the export to the LMS.
