Adding a timer into rise to ensure a minimum amount of time is spent on each lesson
Hi there!
I'm currently faced with a bit of a challenge with Rise functionality. I am working on a module which requires a MINIMUM amount of time to be spent on each section by the learner, in or...
I need a basic timer to countdown while an end user reads the script to ensure enough time is spent on the page.
Hi Sheryl
I think the approach I use in the above demo should do pretty much what you want. If you insert a small Storyline block with the timer in it just below the script you want the learner to read and make sure the 'Continue' block following the timer is set to "Complete block directly above", the learner will not be able to progress until the timer has run down.
The only challenge is starting the timer. I chose to put the timer under the user's own control with a 'Start' button - but there may be a way to automatically start the timer when it comes into view.
