If you have your Rise 360 course hosted on a webserver, you can click on the specific lesson in your Rise 360 course that you want to embed and then copy the link that appears in the browser address bar. You can then use this link by adding it to your Storyline 360 course as a hyperlink:
Understood. So I can just add the Link to the Storyline after the RISE (with the said storyline) has been uploaded to the host. This would mean to re-package afterwards once more and upload to the host? This is a bit complicated, but I believe there is no way out of this ;-)
The first chapter contains the Storyline. When clicking on "SRI Best-in-Class" I should be navigated to the next chapter automatically. Currently I only have it set to "continue to the next chapter" and the user needs to go there manually.
So, in order to get the Link:
I first need to publish the SCORM to our (unfortunately external) host.
Open the page I want to link to,
copy and add the hyperlink of the page (in this case the chapter SRI Best-in-Class) to the Storyline (with the hyperlink trigger off course),
publish the latter and re-add to RISE, then
republish to SCORM and
upload to host again.
My apologies if I seem to be a little slow in understanding :-)
Hi, I am looking for (almost) the same thing, namely a way to link to a specific chapter in rise (I want to link from within rise). I know this works with buttons but I would like to have an info-graphic or a text-link do the same.
We are hosting the courses on our own LMS, which is based on Sharepoint (LMS365) but I don't think that matters. Just checked:
No matter which chapter I am looking at in the rise course (or any SCORM-module for that matter), the URL in the browser is always the same because the navigation in the course is done by the player, not the browser.
So I guess you can link to a Rise course that way but not to a specific chapter in that course. Or am I the one who does not understand?
If you're planning on hyperlinking to a specific section in a Rise 360 course, you'll need to upload your Rise 360 course to a webserver instead of an LMS. Uploading to an LMS masks the actual URL of the Rise 360 course, while uploading to a webserver exposes the URL that you'll need to copy to directly hyperlink to a specific section which is what we want in this case.
Basically, the very first step is to have your Rise 360 course uploaded to a webserver, or you can use the share link generated in Rise 360. You'll notice that the URL of your course will change depending on which section you're currently viewing if you are viewing the course on a webserver or via a share link. Simply copy the link that appears on your browser while you are viewing the section that you want to hyperlink to and use this link in Storyline 360.
Feel free to share screenshots of how you configured your links here if you're willing so we can review how they're setup together!
Aaaah, that makes sense 😀.Now even I understand... Thank you. It is a bit tricky but I will try that.
(...) I have actually just tried that and I do see the URL changing as I navigate through the course. Being me, I have a question 🤔: This link (the Rise360 share link) is working like an external link, isn't it? So if I open that from within our LMS, it would open a new tab (our default setting). Anyway, It's a great trick, thanks. What I would love to have though is a link within the same course, even within an LMS. You can do this with buttons (see screenshot), so it can be done. If that was possible with text-links or links behind pictures, that would be great.
Thank you very much anyway for detailing this. I am sure it can come in handy some time.
I would be carful though, as the Rise-link (I believe) would navigate away from your actual webpage. If you use the module for external purposes with disclaimers, like I do, this could be a little dangerous. Using the webservers link in the course, and then republish the course to the webserver should be the saver way.

Hello Iris,
Thank for reaching out!

Alternatively, you can also use the 'Open URL/File' trigger to open the link:
Hope this helps!

Hi Iris,
I'm happy to chime in. Yes, I think you got it correct; my apologies if it appears complicated. Here are the steps:
Let us know how it goes or if you have additional questions!
Hi Eric,
thank you for the steps. So I did understand correctly after all?
Just to make sure, here is an excerpt of what I want to do: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/e794937b-215f-4ad0-9b76-2dd695b6d86f/review

Thank you Joe, this was what I was describing in my post above, and was confirmed now.

Thank you Iris, I agree hosting it on your own server is safer for delicate content.
