In this short session, I share my practical experience designing and delivering a suite of self-directed teacher training courses for new academic staff across multiple campuses at ATU, using Articulate Rise and Reach 360. Developed to support flexible, anytime learning for busy lecturers, the course introduces core teaching practices, university policies, and digital tools. I’ll discuss why I selected Rise and Reach as the authoring and delivery platforms, where they shine, and where they challenge creativity and control. The session will highlight the pros, cons, and practical considerations of these tools from a learning designers’ perspective.
