Here is an example of content created with Articulate Rise.
If you are considering integrating some Rise content in your Teach on Mars app, here are a few key things to know and to do.
Content design
Multi-language content
In Teach on Mars activities, one web content is the same for every language in the training course. Which means, one content must carry all translations and must either detect the learner's language or provide a way to choose a language.
Rise does not support multi-language content. But it provides a way to translate one content into another language through XLIFF files that you can have translated. The whole process is detailed in your content settings > translations menu.
Work around
If you wish to have your Rise content translated in your Teach on Mars app, there is a way around it. You can create a package containing multiple contents (one for each language) and automatically display the right translation when the learner launches the content.
It is a bit technical, but the whole process is detailed in our Github project: Multilingual web content in Teach on Mars.
Content weight
In the Teach on Mars application, training courses are downloaded on the device so that learners can launch them offline. On mobile devices, the internet connection can be unstable and we don't want our users to have a hard time downloading content.
Therefore the weight of training courses (which includes any web activity inside the training course) must not exceed 200 Mo. So, be careful with media assets, especially videos.
Theme customization
Rise allows you to customize a few things in the rendering of the content.
- The main color
- The text font
To do so, just go to Settings > Customize theme
Then choose your color and your font.
Tips:
- Color: you can use the same color as your application primary color.
- Font: The default font of the Teach on Mars application is Roboto you can also import your own font.
Tracking configuration
To create a web content from your Rise project you need to Export it and there are a few settings that must be set right for it to work properly in your Teach on Mars app.
In the Export menu, choose the following options:
- Export type: LMS
- LMS: SCORM 2004
- Edition: 4th Edition
Tracking
You can also configure when the course will be considered completed for the learner:
- Track using course completion: the course will be completed when the learner reaches a certain percentage of completion.
- Track using quiz result: the course will be completed when the learner succeeds at the selected quiz.
- The last option is relevant if you also use Storyline, this is a case that will be covered in another document.
Reporting
You can also choose what information will be sent to the Mission Center when the learner reaches the completion of a course. There are a few options depending on what option you chose for the tracking but essentially here's what you need to know:
- This option allows you to choose what completion status and/or success status is sent to the Mission Center before and after the course completion.
- The Mission Center will store data according to this option
In these tables, you can compare what kind of data the Mission Center will receive for each tracking configuration.
Now we're going to see in detail, for each possible configuration, what data you can expect in the Mission Center.
Track using course completion
Let's go through all possible configuration and see how it will affect the progress and success data in your Mission Center.
Course completion tracking with passed/incomplete reporting
Before the course is completed, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: incomplete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 0
success: false
Once the course is completed, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: complete
success_status: passed
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 100
success: true
Even if the attempt to the quiz is failed.
Course completion tracking with complete/incomplete reporting
Before the course is completed, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: incomplete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 0
success: false
Once the course is completed, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: complete
success_status: passed
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 100
success: false
Even if the attempt to the quiz is succeeded
So, the only difference with the previous configuration is that the Mission Center will record a success in the first case.
Tracking with quiz results
Here's an overview of how the content will notify the Mission Center of the progress and success of the learner in each configuration.
NB: It is not linked to the score the learner did at the quiz. The score is always sent to the Mission Center every time the learner completes an attempt to the quiz (whether it is succeeded or not). In the export by activity in the Mission Center, the highest score of all attempts will be displayed.
But let's get back to the progress and success issue.
Quiz results tracking with passed/incomplete reporting
Before any quiz attempt, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: incomplete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 0
success: false
After a first failed quiz attempt, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: incomplete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 0
success: false
Once the quiz is succeeded, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: complete
success_status: passed
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 100
success: true
Quiz results tracking with passed/failed reporting
Before any quiz attempt, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: incomplete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 0
success: false
After a first failed quiz attempt, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: complete
success_status: unknown
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 100
success: false
Once the quiz is succeeded, the content will send the following SCORM data to the Mission Center:
completion_status: complete
success_status: passed
As a result, the Mission Center will show in the export by activity the following data:
progress: 100
success: true
Quiz results tracking with complete/incomplete reporting

Navigation compatibility
In the Teach on Mars app, SCORM contents are displayed full screen and must include a way to be closed. In Rise, an option allows the author to add an Exit course link to the content navigation.
This option must be enabled in the export settings for your content to work in the Teach on Mars app.
Now you can import your Rise content in the Mission Center as described in the article: How to integrate a web activity?
