Adding Hyperlinks to a course in Rise
Hi - I'm just starting out with Rise and I'm creating a course that has links to various external websites for extra help on the topic.
Can I do this in Rise or do I need to create the page in Storyline and then add it to the course?
Thanks Vicky
Glad I found this thread; it answered my question just when I needed it. BUT! a follow-up: is there a way to ensure that the link opens in a new window so the learner doesn't inadvertently navigate away from the course? If not, how do I submit a feature request? Pretty surprising if this isn't already a capability I just haven't figured out yet... Thanks!
Hello Greg,
The behavior to open a link in either a new tab or window is entirely controlled by the browser. You'll need to reach out to your IT staff to see if they can modify this behavior for you.
Additionally, I found this official Microsoft forum where some contributors shared instructions on how this can be changed to your reference.
Is there a way to hyper-link to another page within your course?
If so, do I have to wait for my course to be published to do so?
Thank you in advance
You can use a Button block to the link to the top of any Lesson in the same Rise course.
If I use a hyperlink to a policy that is stored in our box file folder is there any way to keep count of how many people have actually accessed that file via the course's hyper link? (please not the course is a SCORM file that has been uploaded to our LMS)
Rise can't keep track of that.
You may be able to determine that information based on where and how the file is stored.
