More Complex Interactions For Rise Course Examples

While typical Articulate Rise examples are text-heavy courses requiring modest interactivity that isn’t overly complex, at Spark + Co., we can use our expertise to expand the courses that work well in Rise.  As Articulate Superheroes, we can create more complex learning interactions using other interactive tools (such as Articulate Storyline, amongst others) that we integrate seamlessly into your Rise courses.  This significantly expands the number of Articulate Rise examples by including more complex topics.  It also enables Rise to be used for technical concepts across various topics.  Illustrations of the breadth of topics are included in this article about The Magical Abilities That Make Articulate Rise 360 Courses Special.
