With this update, you can make sure that all of your Rise courses stand out from the crowd.
February 2022 – Rise 360 Real Content Templates
The Rise 360 Real Content Templates update aims to take away some of the time-consuming elements of course creation. It gives you access to thousands of customisable content templates, all focused on topics that are relevant to business across the world.
Whether it is health and wellbeing, compliance training or diversity and inclusion, to name a few, there’s likely to be a template you can use. This means less creating courses from scratch and more hitting the ground running.
That’s not all, this update includes even more content you can use.
Firstly, pre-built lessons. These on-demand videos and training courses cover topics of interest to every employee, which can then be easily customised and uploaded to your learning management system.
