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 Export in the top-right corner
From within the course editor, click the Export button in the upper-right corner.
3. Choose LMS from the Export Type drop-down
In the Export Type setting, select LMS.
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.
If you choose "Track using course completion" and want to report both "Complete" and "Incomplete" statuses, pick Passed/Incomplete or Complete/Incomplete under the "Reporting" drop-down.
6. Export and download
Click the Export button in the upper-right corner again. Rise will build the package (this usually takes 30–60 seconds) and prompt you with a Download Course button. Click it to save the ZIP file to your computer.
Good news: Unlike Storyline, Rise exports a properly structured ZIP file automatically. You don't need to manually ZIP anything.
A quirk to be aware of
Rise marks a course complete when the learner visits 100% of lessons — not when they've read every word. If a learner scrolls quickly through a lesson without engaging with it, Rise will still count it as visited. This is a design choice in Rise; if you need to enforce engagement, add a knowledge check quiz and tie completion to a passing score.
