Extract Content from Articulate Rise 360 SCORM Packages
Convert your Rise 360 courses to PDF, Word, or Markdown with full support for blocks, images, and interactive content.
Articulate Rise 360 is one of the most popular e-learning authoring tools, known for its responsive design and modern block-based architecture. But what happens when you need to extract that content for review, archiving, or repurposing? This guide covers everything you need to know about converting Rise 360 SCORM packages.
Rise 360 Optimized
SCORM Converter includes a dedicated Rise 360 parser that understands Rise's unique block structure, including the newer "Mighty" blocks.
Understanding Rise 360 SCORM Structure
Unlike traditional slide-based authoring tools, Rise 360 uses a modular block system. When exported as SCORM, the content is stored in JSON format with a specific structure:
- Lessons: The main organizational units (like chapters)
- Blocks: Individual content components within lessons
- Block Types: Text, images, videos, accordions, tabs, flashcards, quizzes, and more
- Mighty Blocks: Rise 360's advanced interactive components
Our parser understands this structure and extracts content in a way that preserves the logical flow of your course.
Supported Rise 360 Block Types
SCORM Converter extracts content from all Rise 360 block types:
Text Blocks
Paragraphs, headings, lists, and formatted text. All styling preserved in the export.
Media Blocks
Images are extracted and embedded. Videos are noted with their titles and descriptions.
Interactive Blocks
Accordions, tabs, process blocks, and timelines. Content from all sections is extracted.
Knowledge Check Blocks
Quiz questions, flashcards, and sorting activities with answers and feedback.
Mighty Block Support
Rise 360's "Mighty" blocks are advanced interactive components introduced in recent updates. SCORM Converter fully supports these, including:
- Carousel: All slides extracted with images and text
- Scenario: Branching content with all paths documented
- Flashcard Grid: All cards with questions and answers
- Sorting Activity: Categories and items with correct answers
- Labeled Graphic: Image with all marker content
Step-by-Step: Extract Rise 360 Content
Step 1: Export from Rise 360
In Rise 360, go to Export and choose SCORM. Select either SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004—both work with SCORM Converter. Download the .zip file.
Pro Tip
For the best extraction results, use SCORM 2004. It typically includes more metadata and better-structured content files.
Step 2: Upload to SCORM Converter
Visit the SCORM Converter dashboard and drag your Rise 360 .zip file onto the upload area. The system automatically detects Rise 360 packages and uses the optimized parser.
Step 3: Review Extracted Content
After extraction, you'll see your content organized by lessons. Each lesson shows its blocks with:
- Block type indicator
- Full text content
- Embedded images
- Interactive content expanded (accordion items, tab content, etc.)
Step 4: Export to Your Format
Click Export and choose your format:
- PDF: Professional document with images and formatting
- Word: Editable document for reviews and updates
- Markdown: Clean text for documentation or AI tools
Rise 360 Extraction Best Practices
1. Use Descriptive Lesson Names
Well-named lessons in Rise 360 become clear headings in your exported document. "Module 2: Safety Procedures" is better than "Lesson 2".
2. Include Alt Text for Images
Images with alt text in Rise 360 retain those descriptions in the export. This improves accessibility and provides context when images can't be displayed.
3. Leverage Block Titles
Rise 360 allows you to add titles to blocks. These titles appear in the export, making navigation easier in long documents.
4. Check Interactive Content
After export, verify that accordion items, tab content, and other interactive elements were fully extracted. The converter expands all hidden content, but complex nesting may occasionally need review.
Limitations and Workarounds
What Can't Be Extracted
- • Videos: Embedded videos are noted but not downloaded (copyright reasons)
- • Audio: Narration files are listed but not embedded in PDF/Word
- • Animations: Motion effects don't translate to static documents
- • External content: Embed blocks linking to external sites show URLs only
For video-heavy courses, consider using Markdown export which includes clear video placeholders with descriptions, making it easier to track where videos belong in your course structure.
Use Cases for Rise 360 Extraction
- Content Audits: Review all course content in one document without clicking through the LMS
- SME Reviews: Share with subject matter experts who don't have Rise 360 access
- Translation Prep: Extract text for translation services, track string locations
- Compliance Archives: Create permanent records of training content for auditors
- AI Enhancement: Use extracted content for AI chat, study guides, or flashcards
Conclusion
Rise 360 creates beautiful, responsive e-learning—but sometimes you need that content in a different format. SCORM Converter's dedicated Rise 360 parser understands the block-based structure and extracts everything from simple text to complex Mighty blocks.
