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 local computer. I think some folks will agree that his pages look more streamlined without the title area (for some projects). http://www.learningdojo.net/articulate-rise-hiding-the-page-title-area/ I understand the basic concepts, but my file structures look different. (I would really be great if there were a feature in settings that allowed me to hide the title areas with a check block:). Can someone help me out, please. As always, thanks in advance to all the kind folks who help out. Jeff

I appreciate your input, Adam. I'm not criticizing Rise. But in the case of a video based training (like software for example), the title area is so deep that the learner must scroll to see the video. In some cases, it would be helpful to at least have a more compact title area. I would use Storyline, but I am unable to get it to be responsive across a wide range of devices (something that Rise does spectacularly). Not every project requires strict adherence to e-learning science and protocol. Sometimes a simple video explanation is the best training tool (think YouTube). Rise provides an excellent 'container' for videos with a menu that organizes everything very nicely. And most importantly it is RESPONSIVE. In some cases, making the title area more compact would create a more attractive and user-friendly interface for the learner. I can tell from your response that your not convinced, but I do appreciate your prompt and candid reply.

Agreed. We would really like to remove the titles as well. Users are complaining about having to scroll down so far to get to the content.

I made the original post and I'm glad to see some interest in this feature. In my opinion, if a course is properly developed, it is generally unnecessary to display title after title to keep the student oriented (the context of the lesson should keep the student from getting lost). But, based on Adam's original reply to this thread, his research says otherwise.

Thanks for the quick reply, Adam. I do tutorials for aircraft technicians that are often demonstrations of procedures or processes. I'm developing one now that demonstrates the procedures for building an aircraft connector (i.e., choosing the correct crimping tool, configuring the crimper, etc.). They are more or less a series of videos that are organized in sections by Rise's awesome menu. There will also be quizzes along the way. If you have ever watched any videos on Lynda.com you will get the picture. The link to the video in my last post does a good job of explaining the need to remove the title area in some cases. I think you may agree if you watch the first 30 seconds or so. I certainly have other options, but I love Rise's ability to be responsive to all devices and it's attractive interface. Thanks again for the prompt reply.

I agree that it would be great to be able to remove or at least shrink the header. It's really huge.

I vote also for removing, hiding or minimizing the header. It's my number one frustration and would be great to have a more streamlined look. At present, it feels clunky and lots of wasted real estate.

Hi Robert and Christopher,

Have you seen the latest feature for Rise where you may disable or collapse the sidebar menu at start? Take a look at Adam's example here.

If you chose to have No sidebar that would remove the Table of Contents that appear below start and allow the user to click on the Start button to begin.

  Hi there. While removing the side bar is a great feature, it's not what I was referring to. If you look at the start of this thread the user shows a video that teaches you to alter the CSS to remove the titles so the learner content is right at the top. I edited the CSS and used text over images on the top leading into the content. It looks so much better! While this might not be for everyone, I think it's a good feature to add so people who aren't familiar with HTML/CSS aren't locked into one look.

    What filename did you use to edit the CSS? I have gone through all my files on the output from Rise and can't seem to locate the CSS file that has the header.

Also, it would be helpful to be able to have a subtitle option available ie. the option to switch on a minor heading/title under the header. I am developing courses that are linked ie. they have a common title (H1) and it would be good to be able to seperate them via a subheading title (H2).

For example,

INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY (H1) - Levels of Organisation (H2)
INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY (H1) - Chemicals and Cells (H2)
INTRODUCTION TO ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY (H1) - Tissues (H2)
etc...

Thanks, Bridgette. I have heard a few other users looking to do the same, so I've shared that insight with the team and we'll keep you posted here if it becomes a feature!

i agree, the title is huge, and with no scope to reduce font size, reduce padding or remove it's very frustrating....

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Currently looking at how I can modify the CSS to do this, but please add my vote to be able to modify the heading (size, background, colour) or the option to not display it all.

+ 1 upvote. Ability to remove the initial cover page will make Rise so much more versatile for us.

Hi Autumn!

The feature to hide the lesson header isn't ready quite yet. We'll let you know when it's live!

Looks like this feature needs to bumped up the priority. Would love to see it released asap.
