How to Export a SCORM Package from Articulate Rise
Articulate Rise produces clean, web-based courses that export cleanly to SCORM. Here's how to get your finished Rise course out as a SCORM package ready for upload.
Before you start
- Your Rise course is complete and reviewed
- You have an active Articulate 360 subscription (Rise is a cloud-based tool — no desktop install)
Step-by-step: Exporting from Articulate Rise
1. Open your course in Rise
Log in to rise.articulate.com and open the course you want to export.
2. Click Publish in the top-right corner
From within the course editor, click Publish in the upper-right corner (labelled Export in older versions of Rise).
3. Choose LMS
Choose LMS as the publish type.
4. Choose "SCORM 2004"
In the LMS drop-down list that appears, select SCORM 2004 (we recommend the 4th Edition). This offers the most robust tracking and largest data limits for modern platforms.
5. Configure tracking (completion criteria)
Under Tracking, choose how Rise determines course completion:
- Track using course completion — learner has viewed a set percentage of the content (100% is the safe default for pure reading).
- Track using quiz result — passing a specific quiz marks the course complete.
- Track using Storyline block — completion of an embedded Storyline interaction triggers the status.
Then choose how the result is reported in the Reporting drop-down. With course-completion tracking, Passed/Incomplete and Complete/Incomplete both work in Ethica: it marks the course complete when it reports completed or passed.
6. Publish and download
Click Publish again. Rise builds the package and downloads it as a ZIP file.
Good news: Rise downloads the package as a ready-to-upload ZIP file. You don't need to zip anything yourself.
A quirk to be aware of
With course-completion tracking, Rise reports completion once the learner finishes the percentage of lessons you set. Blocks count as viewed when they scroll into view, so fast scrolling still counts. If you need to enforce engagement, add a knowledge check quiz and tie completion to a passing score.
