Branching Course-RISE

Hi everyone,

I’m creating a course on grooming standards for my organization, and I’d like to structure it in a more personalized way.

The idea is for all learners to first go through a general section that applies to everyone. After completing that, they would select their gender and be directed to the grooming standards specific to them, followed by a gender-specific quiz.

Ideally, I’d also like the progress bar to reflect only the sections relevant to the learner’s path — so, for example, a male employee wouldn’t need to complete the women’s section for the course to be marked as complete.

Is it possible to set this up in Rise?

Thanks in advance for your help!

    So you looking at more complex menu and navigation and some of it possible.

    In Rise go to Theme\Navigation\

    There is option to allow Marking Lessons Complete which will allow learners to mark lessons as complete.

    So you could instruct a learner to mark section they don't need to complete but this would apply to all lessons so maybe not the best idea for you! 

    What your after might not be possible in RISE

    Hi Andreas_Ch0ul​, 

    Thanks for sharing your voice with us! I'm glad Kane could recommend some changes to the navigation within your Rise course. 

    This functionality of specific branching and grading for specific users isn't currently possible, so I've shared your voice with our product team. We'll be sure to share future updates in this thread so all are in the loop!

    Andreas_Ch0ul​: There is a way to achieve some of what you want. You could branch the course for different users, and then return them to a completion lesson. But you have to give up the navigation menu.

    • Also note that you won't be able to get the quiz scores. Rise only lets you track completion via 1 quiz, or via a completion trigger. So you have to use a completion trigger.

     

    Here's instructions:

    In the Theme, under Navigation > Type, turn off the Navigation. This hides the menu, so the user can't jump to the completion lesson.

     

    Under Navigation > Buttons, turn off the Previous/Next Lesson Buttons. This prevents the user from navigating to a lesson they don't need to complete. 

     

    In Lesson Headers, turn off the Lesson Count Labels. 

     

    Instead of using the built-in Navigation menu and buttons, use button blocks for navigating. (See https://www.articulatesupport.com/article/Rise-How-to-Use-Button-Blocks )

    For your situation, do this:

    • At the end of the general lesson, have a button stack, with one button that jumps to the male lesson and another that jumps to the female lesson. 
    • At the end of the male lesson and at the end of the female lesson, have a button that jumps to the completion lesson.
    • Put the quizzes in Storyline blocks. If desired, require passing to "complete" the block.

     

    In the completion lesson, use a Storyline block with a "Complete course" trigger. When you publish the course, track completion via that trigger.
