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 order for them to pass the module completely. This was a specific request by my client.

An idea I had was to insert a timer storyline block into the beginning of each lesson which starts automatically, and then at the bottom of the lesson have a 'Continue' button which is locked until everything above it is interacted with (ie, when the timer ends).

The issue that I am facing is that when I scroll past the timer block, it auto pauses and will only continue counting down until I have the timer physically on my screen. Does anyone know a way where I can fix this issue and have the timer play even when it's been scrolled past? Cheers

    I also need this feature. We have 30-minute courses that are showing 5 hours of training because a learner left the course open. It would be very helpful to have a course them out due to inactivity or via time provided to complete the course.

      Hi SabrinaMayer!

      Thanks for checking in on this!

      I don't have any updates to share at this time as our developers prioritize other feature requests. I've included your voice in the feature report, so we can notify you if this enhancement makes it to our Feature Roadmap.

    This is a needed compliance feature, and would make Rise 360 much more useful for our team.

    Either a page-based timer (similar to how there is a progress bar at the top of a lesson page) or a continue button based timer are needed.
