How to create a Rise course where the user can select their preferred language

Jan 20, 2022

I'm looking for assistance or a Rise template that requires the user to select their own language before being able to move on.  I have a course translated into 5 languages, but how do I put them all together into one course, with one scorm export?  Thank you!

Hi Isolde! If you want to have all the languages available in a Rise course, you can create different sections in a course for each language and create a menu using a button stack to navigate to the selected language. Here’s a sample course that I created with this concept.  The text labels in your course, however, will only be in one language. I hope this helps!

Hi Isolde,

You need to tell the Rise course what criteria to use to determine course completion.

Rise gives you three course completion tracking options on the EXPORT page:

  • Tracking using course completion. This requires you to set a percentage of the entire course that a student needs to view. As you are dealing with multiple languages, each student will complete only a part of each course. However, Spanish uses about 20% more characters than English, so which percentage would you use? 
  • Track using quiz result. This option allows you to use a single quiz to determine course completion. This won't work for multiple languages. 
  • Track using Storyline block. This option allows you to use a single Storyline block to determine course completion. You will have to devise a completion method that works equally for all languages.

Hi there, I'm wondering if any changes have been made in Rise since these posts? I have the same need that Isolde described.

To Karl's point, I *think* I might be able to move the quiz to Storyline -- where I can create a version of the quiz in each language but set it so that successful completion of the quiz in any language = passing. And I'm hoping that creating / adding that 1 Storyline block would solve the completion tracking issue. But before I start building in Storyline ...

Does Rise have a similar capability / feature now? That would let me create X number of quizzes (one for each language) and select "successfully completing any one of the quizzes = complete for the full course?"

Or has anyone else come up with good options for defining completion for 1 course that contains multiple languages? 

Thanks!
