Using Mighty to take your Rise courses to the next level
If you’re already building your elearning in Articulate Rise 360, you probably love how quick and simple it is to use.
But maybe you’ve also wished you could do just a bit more – a little extra polish, a little more personality, a little closer to your brand. That’s exactly where Mighty comes in.
So, what is Mighty?
Mighty is a Chrome browser extension created by Maestro Learning that plugs straight into your normal Rise 360 workflow. It’s not made by Articulate (the company behind Rise), but it works right alongside it, adding extra design options, new content blocks, and more creative control.
Think of it as a set of design “power-ups” that unlock features Rise doesn’t include out of the box. You still build your course in Rise, but now you can adjust things like typography, colours, transitions, and layout with far more flexibility.
And the best part? You don’t (always) need to know any code.
What does Mighty add?
Mighty gives Rise a creative boost – more flexibility, more polish, same simplicity.
Here’s what it brings to the table:
- Extended typography controls: Fine-tune font size, spacing, and line height so your text looks perfectly balanced.
- Custom colour palettes: Save and reuse your brand colours across every element of your course.
- New visual and interactive blocks: Add reflection prompts, custom buttons, multiple choice variations, transitions, and other engaging layouts.
- Enhanced transitions and animations: Create smoother, more dynamic movement between sections.
- Quick styling tools: Adjust spacing, alignment, and backgrounds directly in Rise.
- Quick sort: Faster, more effective means of relocating sections within your course.
No extra software is needed. It all runs inside your normal browser.
In short, Mighty turns Rise from a rapid authoring tool into a brandable design environment, giving you the creative freedom to make your learning look uniquely yours.
Why does it matter for brand?
Your brand doesn’t stop at your website or brochures, it should shine through in every learner experience. When people open your training, they should instantly recognise your look and feel.
Mighty helps you achieve that consistency. With its extra control over fonts, colours, and layouts, you can design learning that feels professional, polished, and unmistakably connected to your organisation.
For learners, that familiarity builds trust. For your brand, it adds credibility. And for your team, it proves that quick-build learning doesn’t have to look “off the shelf.”
How it works in practice
- Install the extension in Chrome (or Edge).
- Open Rise 360 – You’ll see new “Mighty” blocks and tools right alongside the standard Rise ones.
- Build your course as normal, using the extra controls to tweak typography, colours, and transitions.
- Publish your course – Learners don’t need the extension; all the custom styling is baked into the final output.
You still get all the speed of Rise’s rapid development, but with a much higher design standard.
Why do designers love it?
Mighty gives you the kind of creative flexibility that used to require a developer. You can:
- Match your exact corporate fonts and colours.
- Add elegant transitions between sections.
- Use reflective or interactive blocks to increase engagement.
- Bring a sense of motion and flow that standard Rise sometimes lacks.
It’s simple enough to use, yet powerful enough to make a noticeable visual difference.
Things to keep in mind
Like most good tools, Mighty isn’t free. It’s a paid extension (around $47/month or $337/year per user, with discounts for annual plans).
If your subscription ends, your published courses will still run fine, but you won’t be able to edit Mighty-specific elements until you renew.
And while it simplifies design tweaks, it still relies on good design judgement. Colour balance, accessibility, and clarity still matter just as much as new features.
Always evolving
One thing users appreciate about Mighty is how actively it’s being developed. New features roll out regularly, often every few weeks or months rather than once a year.
The current version (6.6.3) was released in November 2025, and Maestro even runs an Early Access programme so users can test and give feedback on upcoming tools before they’re public.
What to keep an eye on
While the team hasn’t published a full public roadmap, here’s what’s likely on the horizon:
- Advanced scripting and “Power-ups” for more custom behaviours.
- New block types for branching, scenarios, and more animation options.
- Improved collaboration tools for teams sharing templates or reviewing builds.
- Better localisation and accessibility options (such as right-to-left layouts).
- Enhanced analytics and tracking for deeper learner insights.
The takeaway
Mighty gives learning teams a practical way to make Rise courses look modern, branded, and engaging, all without slowing down the build process.
For anyone who loves Rise but has ever thought, “I wish I could just tweak this one thing,” Mighty is that missing piece.
It’s a simple, powerful way to elevate your design, turning quick courses into custom, on-brand experiences that truly stand out.
