What's the difference between collaborative authoring in Rise 360 and sending a copy of a course to another author? Great question! Here's how the two features compare.
Collaborative Authoring |
Send a Copy of a Course |
Collaborative authoring is exclusively available to Articulate 360 Teams. Collaborators don't have to be on the same team; they just need to have an Articulate 360 Teams subscription. Not a teams subscriber? Contact an Articulate 360 Teams specialist to learn more. |
All Articulate 360 users can send a copy of a Rise 360 course to other authors. This is helpful when you’re working with individual Articulate 360 subscribers. |
Collaborators work on the same course simultaneously. |
The sender and the recipients work on independent copies of the course. |
Changes appear immediately so collaborators always have the exact same course. |
Since each author has a separate copy of the course, no one sees changes made by other authors. Note: The recipient of a course can edit it and then send a copy back to the original author. However, it won’t get merged into the original course. It’ll be a separate version of the course on the author’s Rise 360 dashboard. If you send courses back and forth in this manner, use a naming scheme to identify different versions of the course. |
Generally, if you’re an Articulate 360 Teams subscriber, use collaborative authoring for real-time collaboration on courses. If you’re an individual Articulate 360 subscriber or you’re working with an individual subscriber, use the send-a-copy feature.
