Creating a course - Import an Articulate Rise course

Upload an Articulate Rise SCORM package and convert it into an editable CreateUpon course, with AI-generated objectives and outcomes.

info icon
Availability: all plans

You can bring an existing Articulate Rise course into CreateUpon. Upload the Rise SCORM package and CreateUpon converts each lesson into fully editable cards. It then uses AI to add learning objectives, course-level outcomes, and a short description. This guide walks through the import and what to expect.

info icon
Before you start: export your course from Articulate Rise as a SCORM package. You upload that .zip file, up to 500 MB.

Step 1: Start the import

On the first screen of course creation (the Type step), select Import SCORM. If you do not see it, select Other Ways To Create.

Step 2: Upload your Rise package

Upload the .zip file you exported from Articulate Rise. Drag and drop it onto the upload area, or click to browse.

  • Only .zip files exported from Rise are accepted.

  • The maximum file size is 500 MB.

  • Only recently downloaded Articulate Rise packages are supported today. Other SCORM or authoring-tool exports are not yet supported and will not import.

Step 3: Let CreateUpon convert your course

CreateUpon reads the package and builds an editable course. It keeps your Rise title, cover image, and course description, and picks up an accent color and fonts to match. Each Rise section becomes a module, and each lesson inside it becomes an editable lesson. A Rise quiz lesson becomes an exam.

Most Rise content comes across as native, editable elements:

  • text, headings, statements, lists, and tables

  • images, video, audio, attachments, and embeds

  • quotes, galleries, flashcards, accordions, tabs, labeled graphics, charts, and buttons

  • multiple-choice and matching knowledge checks become interactive quizzes, with their correct answers, explanatory notes, and question media

  • blocks built with the Mighty extension, which import from their configuration as embedded content you can edit

Your Rise course description keeps its formatting when it imports, including paragraphs, lists, emphasis, and links.

info icon
Language: CreateUpon sets the course language from the Rise package where it is available. If the package does not specify one, the course defaults to English.

Step 4: Review any placeholders

Some Rise features do not have an exact match in CreateUpon. Rather than drop them, CreateUpon adds them as editable placeholder cards, so nothing is lost. After the import you see a one-time notice, Some Rise features could not be imported exactly, listing what came in as placeholders.

  • Fill-in-the-blank questions come in as a text card that shows the question and accepted answers, not as an interactive input.

  • Timeline blocks come in as one card per event.

  • Any block CreateUpon does not recognize comes in as an editable placeholder for you to rebuild or remove.

info icon
Tip: work through the placeholders listed in the notice first, so your course is complete before you share it.

Step 5: Check the AI-generated objectives and outcomes

A Rise package does not include learning objectives, so CreateUpon reads the imported lessons and uses AI to add:

  • learning objectives for each lesson

  • course-level outcomes

  • a short course description

info icon
Note: this step is best-effort. If it does not run, your course still imports in full, just without objectives and outcomes, and you can add them yourself.

What to expect

  • Rise sections become modules, with their lessons nested inside. A course with no sections imports its lessons into a single module you can regroup afterwards.

  • Some decorative styling is not carried across, and theme colors and fonts are approximated to the closest CreateUpon options.

  • Review your interactions and knowledge checks after import, since some come in as placeholders.

  • Objectives, outcomes, and the description are AI-generated from the imported content, so review them before you publish.
