Articulate Rise - Disable Video Seek Bar

Hi Bumin,

Although there isn't a feature that will allow you to hide video controls in Rise, there is an easy way to work around this using a Storyline Block!

1. First, upload the video to a new Storyline 360 file. Be sure that the video controls are turned off.
2. Publish the Storyline 360 slide to Articulate 360. 
3. In Rise, edit an existing blocks lesson or create a new one.
4. Insert an interactive Storyline block.
5. Click the Browse Articulate 360 button in the Storyline block.
6. Select the Storyline course with the video from your Articulate 360 projects.

Give it a try, and let me know if that's helpful!

Charlotte and Paul, this is in development now and we're hoping to get it shipped in early March. Stay tuned, we'll update this thread once the feature ships. 

We are also working on a feature to disable the seekbar for Rise videos directly. (Without requiring Storyline integration.)

Hey folks!

You've asked for the ability to restrict learners from moving past a Storyline block in Rise without completing it first, and we're listening. 

We just released a new feature that will allow you to choose a tracking option for Storyline courses when you publish to Articulate 360. This lets you control navigation in Rise lessons by requiring learners to complete Storyline blocks before moving on. Check out the details here!

Here’s how you can update Storyline 360 to take advantage of everything the latest release has to offer. Let me know if you have any questions about that!

Great question, Bumin! We're working on a new feature right now that solves this very problem.

The feature is a Storyline Course Completion Trigger that communicates with the Rise Continue Block. 

For your course, you can set this Storyline trigger to "complete" when the video ends. With that setting, the Continue Block will not allow the learner to move forward in the lesson until the video ends, preventing the learner from skipping content. 

This feature is still in the works, and as soon as we roll it out, I'll let you know. You'll be notified immediately since you're now subscribed to this thread. 

Hi Adam, how far off is this do you think?  I am very keen on using Rise for most of our workshops going forward now that you have allowed us to import storyline interactions.  We use a lot of video in our learning and our client does not want their employees to be able to skip through these.  

Thanks in advance.

Paul

Just another note.  I think it would really be a game changer if you add a lot more restriction options.  Right now I can just skip past most of the course without looking at it.  This means 90% of our development would have to be in storyline, which means Rise just becomes useful for courses that employees want to do.  In my experience many of the employees I work with (local government) will skip content if they can.

Awesome, thanks for the update.

For the time being, I've hidden the whole control bar bar by adding this CSS in the index.html

.vjs-control-bar{
display: none !important;
}

eventually the control strip can still be shown but you can hide just the scrub bar with this

.vjs-slider-horizontal{
display: none !important;
}

ofcourse this is not a real solution (never nice fiddling with published files), but it helps for the time being

- Edit: I tested this on chrome and Android and it works, while on iOS controls seem to be natively replaced (thanks Apple...)

Hi Mike, any more movement?  Sorry to be a pain, I just have a rise project and Im trying to avoid putting the videos through Storyline.

Thanks
