Rise 360 vs AmpUp: what happens after you hit Publish
Rise 360 is a solid authoring tool. The differences show up downstream: what your LMS learns about each learner, what stays in sync when sources change, and what learners can actually practice.
Completion Percentage Is All Your LMS Gets
Rise 360's LMS export offers three tracking options: course completion at a set percentage, a quiz result, or a Storyline block's status, with reporting as Passed/Incomplete (recreated below from its publish settings). Per block, your LMS learns whether it was completed, and that's it.

What AmpUp records instead
- Per-lesson watch time, drop-off points, and replays
- Every quiz answer, not just the final score
- Full roleplay transcripts with rubric scores on your custom metrics
- All published as granular events to the event recording store, LMS-consumable and far richer than a per-block completion flag
Watch it live
The engagement live board shows this event stream in real time: who's stuck where, which lessons lose people, and how practice scores are trending. Ask for it in the demo, it's the fastest way to see the difference.
A Publish Flow Built Around Finishing, Not Learning
Publishing to Reach 360, the course requirement is a percentage of lessons completed, celebrated with a success message and a downloadable certificate. Completion is the product. AmpUp's equivalent moment is a scored conversation: the learner proves they can do the thing before the system calls them done.

Course requirement
Lessons completed
Set the percentage of the course a learner must finish to mark as completed.

No requirement
Nothing is required for course completion
Course duration

Completion celebration
Show a success message when the course has been completed.
Certificate for course completion
Learners can download a certificate when they've completed the course.
Completion-based sign-off
"Finished 80% of lessons" certifies exposure. It can't tell you whether the learner can troubleshoot the unit, handle the objection, or walk the install.
Performance-based sign-off
AmpUp courses end in live roleplay scored against your rubric. Certification means the learner performed, on record, with a transcript you can audit.
Three More Differences IDs Feel Daily
Simulations that talk back
Rise scenario blocks are scripted branches you author by hand. AmpUp's live AI roleplays are a drop-in replacement for those conversation simulations: no branches to write, and the persona pushes back the way a real customer or examiner does.
Courses that don't rot
In Rise, source material is a one-time input: when the product or manual changes, you point-fix every affected lesson by hand. AmpUp keeps the course wired to its sources and regenerates affected lessons with one click.
Beyond the block library
AmpUp gamifies concepts with purpose-built interactions rather than standard LMS blocks, and its direct integration with game engines like Unity turns source material into rich interactive content automatically.

You don't have to pick a side on day one
AmpUp imports the SCORM and H5P packages Rise produces and exports SCORM back to your LMS of record. Bring your existing library, add practice and event-level measurement on top, and let the results decide where new courses get built.
