Rise is designed to be user-friendly and offers a variety of content creation features using a series of available “blocks”, including text, multimedia, quizzes, assessments, and more. Rise is suitable for both beginners and experienced course designers and has seen wide adoption globally. Courses created in Rise are automatically optimized for mobile devices and can be shared via a link or embedded into Learning Management Systems (LMS) in SCORM or xAPI formats.

Key Features:

Responsive design: Automatically adapts to different screen sizes (desktop, tablet, mobile).

Interactive content blocks: Includes text, images, videos, quizzes, and scenario-based elements.

Cloud-based: Accessible from any device with internet access.

Collaboration tools: Allows multiple users to work on a course simultaneously.

Accessibility support: Designed with accessibility features such as screen reader compatibility and keyboard navigation.

SCORM/xAPI compliance: Compatible with industry standards for tracking learner progress in LMS platforms.

Rise does include some limitations in flexibility, content management, and media formats that impact authoring, accessibility, and the learning experience. Say Yeah developed Shine to magically bring Rise courses to life with immersive audio and added flexibility for learners and course managers.

Within the accessibility statement you can note what measures you’ve taken (for example, ensuring adequate colour contrast for text legibility, adding transcripts for videos, and more), what interaction models have been tested (for example, responsive screen sizes, keyboard navigation, screen readers, zooming), what you know is working well, and any considerations or known issues (for example, testing with one kind of screen reader, but not others. ie, NVDA, but not JAWS).

In addition to these notes, offer a pathway to access support for any additional feedback or accommodations support.

Your accessibility statement should be prominently linked from your interface. For example, as a primary link in your website footer, from the main course landing page, and within any onboarding content.

Using North American media and entertainment as an example, positive representation would include people from diverse backgrounds in roles that historically have been afforded only to white men, while ensuring that people from marginalized communities were presented richly and aspirationally, and not based on stereotypes or biases.

Considerate of product strategy, representation can involve ensuring:

• The diversity of your audience is reflected in the photography and examples you use to promote the product
• Research recruiting is considerate of engaging with the full spectrum of diversity across your user base
• Your product team includes people from different backgrounds and lived experiences

UDL’s components, Engagement, Representation, and Action & Expression are based off of the neuroscience of learning.

Engagement focuses on stimulating learner interest and motivation for learning.

Representation is about providing learners with different forms of information and content.

Action & Expression allows learners to express what they know in different ways.

Learn more about the framework and it’s development at CAST.org.
