Always allow access to one section in restricted Rise course?
Hi all,
Is it possible to keep one section always available in a restricted Rise course? This is a glossary/references block at the end of the course that needs to be accessible throughout.
Thanks for thoughts/suggestions to make this happen!
What is much needed in Rise courses is a separate resources area that is accessible from anywhere in the course. Items such as a Glossary and PDF docs could reside in the resource area.
If such a resources area existed, course developers would not have to use tracked Lessons for this purpose.
Hi there, Jennifer. If the navigation is restricted, there isn't a way to keep the final lesson available to folks who haven't experienced the rest of the course.
Some alternative ideas:
- add this lesson to the beginning of the course and use an accordion block to present the content so it doesn't require a lot of scrolling to "complete" the lesson
- attach the glossary early in the course as a resource they can open outside the course, like a PDF
Thanks for the response, Crystal. These annexes are quite extensive - bibliography, glossary, image information, etc., and would be awkward to have at the beginning of a course. It would be good to have, as @KarlMuller responded, a resources area or block that can be separate from any course content.
Why not , if possible for you, embed the link to the full page resource so it opens in another tab. then user can switch. Maybe even its wiki type page from the start?
You still have to add the link to the resource page inside a Lesson, which doesn't solve anything.
Thanks for all the suggestions folks. I've passed the options on to my client.
Stay safe out there!
