Articulate Rise: Hiding the Page Title Area
Hi all,
I would like to hide the page title areas on my Articulate Rise pages. I found this 3 minute video on the web that explains exactly what I want, but he is modifying his HTML and CSS on his...
Hmm, this discussion thread seems to be very influenced by the way courses are developped in slide based tools such as Storyline. For me too it took a moment to adapt to the presentation style introduced by Rise where whitespace and big captions are used to have a modern and light layout. The more options available to change the look the more difficult it gets to have the courses in a uniform appearance which I regard as a big advantage of the rather restrictive individualization possibilities of Rise, especially when working in a team with several instuctional designers. For the applications mentioned in the previous posts, Rise may definitely not be the tool of choice and it would be a pity to further develop Rise so that its clear focus on relatively easy to create responsive courses would be lost.
I agree with Cass, choice is always better. They already allow options for padding, so it's not that big a stretch and I don't think it will wreck the unifortmity in appearance of Rise.
In my case, the course in question was only one "slide" of video so imagine having to scroll past a giant header just to see that one thing? Annoying. Thankfully I'm comfortable modifying HTML/CSS to fix it, but I know that many eLearning folks are not. Having an option to remove the header would just make things better for everyone.
And to your point about the tool of choice Ernst, the reason why we didn't use something else more suited to that layout is because of the end of flash. All of the other programs we have would somehow involve flash in some way, and there is no reason to develope any new content with it that we'd have to modify later anyway. Rise is the best option for responsive, flash-free courses for us, and it handles video surprisingly well, which in our case is important because many of our pharma clients want courses that are basically just virtual meetings recorded from events they are unable to attend.
