It doesn\u2019t require on-device installation or expert level experience to be able to use. Among many helpful features, Rise\u2019s main powerful feature is its ability to create responsive courses.<\/p>\n<p>Responsiveness is a valuable feature and Rise is the only player in this game. Unlike other tools, you don\u2019t need any special settings to make your course responsive. For example, in Adobe Captivate you need to design your course to be responsive by using fluid box mode and create a series of settings like content flow, wrap options, padding, etc. In Rise, you just build your course and the tool takes care of the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Below, I am going to explain what to consider, other than responsiveness, before choosing Rise as your eLearning course authoring tool.<\/p>\n<h2>Language Support<\/h2>\n<p>Rise 360 supports left-to-right (LTR) languages and double-byte character sets (ex: Chinese, Japanese). Rise doesn\u2019t currently support the right-to-left (RTL) language direction. If you are planning to localize your course into one or more of the RTL languages (ex: Arabic, Persian, Hebrew), consider using a translation vendor who has a skilled development team to create a work around for this issue.<\/p>\n<h2>Accessibility<\/h2>\n<p>Rise 360 doesn&#8217;t fully meet the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/WAI\/standards-guidelines\/wcag\/\">Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)<\/a> yet, however with some precautions and proactive steps you can make simple, accessible courses.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rise\u2019s accessibility features:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Alt text for images.<\/li>\n<li>Keyboard-accessible navigation.<\/li>\n<li>Closed-captioning for videos.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What Rise doesn\u2019t support:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Screen readers.<\/li>\n<li>Full keyboard navigation.<\/li>\n<li>High contrast between text and background.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Tool Limitations<\/h2>\n<p>When working with Rise, you need to be aware of some of the tool limitations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Character limitations: <\/strong>There are places in your eLearning course content where you need to pay extra close attention to character limitations, especially if you\u2019re localizing your course into other languages.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Matching questions: the maximum characters allowed is 76 characters without spaces and 90 with spaces.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Original text:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20536 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"852\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_1.png 852w, https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_1-300x132.png 300w, https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_1-768x337.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 852px) 100vw, 852px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>View in Rise:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-20541 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"770\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_2.png 770w, https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_2-300x119.png 300w, https:\/\/www.globalizationpartners.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/05\/lamiaa-articulate_2-768x305.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You will notice that all of the pink text doesn\u2019t exist in Rise and there is no notification or alert to tell you that you have exceeded the character limit.<\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>Tabs view: the maximum characters allowed is 25 characters without spaces and 30 with spaces.
