Rise 360: Interactive Sales Brochure

Thanks for your lovely comment and feedback, Jackie! I'm glad I was able to get you into a house—even if the navigation wasn't as clear as I'd hoped.

I took your advice to heart and updated the button label to make it clearer that I'm sending the user BACK to the main menu. If I was really planning to use this for a sales brochure, I might play around with adding button blocks for the other 2 floorplans to save some clicks. Thanks for sharing some food for thought with me.

This is also the question I would want to ask. Looking for a response.

Hi Morten,

Thanks for the compliment! Yes, in Rise 360 you can hide the sidebar menu navigation under the settings tab. This project is on a web server so I simply grabbed the URL for the first "lesson" in my project (rather than the start page). This is why you don't see the start screen but jump straight into the content. I hope this explanation helps!

I found this in the Settings page - you can turn off the lesson sidebar, lesson count and previous/next lesson buttons under Navigation.

Hi there,

Thank you for the lovely feedback! I provided a brief explanation for Morten up above which addresses your questions: (https://community.articulate.com/e-learning-examples/rise-360-interactive-sales-brochure?page=1#comment-107668)

Hey Lisa. I'm so glad this example is inspiring you with some fresh ideas!

The custom menus were created with the button stack block (or you can use a single button block). It gives you the option to link to external websites or other lessons in your Rise 360 project!

Hope this idea for using button blocks gives you something fun to play around with next time you have a few minutes to spare!

Hi Ben. For this project, I did a few things: I hid the sidebar menu (located in the Settings tab under Navigation) and I used the button stack block (in the interactive blocks) to create my own "custom" navigation experience. I also grabbed the URL for my project which pointed to the first lesson rather than the start screen.

In terms of hosting this on an LMS, you could certainly publish something like this for your LMS, but I can't say how people will experience this from your LMS. Some LMS's may not allow you to share a direct link to a lesson as I've done here. My example is hosted on a web server since I do not need tracking.

Hope this helps!

Hi Hazel. Thanks for the kind words! I created most of the custom images with text in Google Slides and then saved the slides as SVG files. Because SVGs always maintain their resolution, they keep the text looking nice and crisp. The first image in the carousel ("... Experience the ultimate...") was accidentally inserted as a PNG but the other two are SVGs if you want to compare.

I hope this is the hot tip you were looking for!

Thank you for chiming in, Meg! And yes, I'm with you. Sign me up for that community retreat/spa thingy anytime. ;-)
