Continue button - move to next lesson?
Hi,
I'm using Continue dividers/buttons at the end of each lesson to ensure users have viewed all interactions before moving on to the next lesson. However, to actually move to the next lesson users have to click Continue, then click the next lesson footer.
Is there anyway to get the Continue divider to automatically advance to the next lesson, when clicked? This would reduce the clicks required by the end user, and make for a less frustrating experience.
Apologies if I'm missing an obvious setting!
Thanks
Dan
You're right, Dan. You would still need the "Continue" block before the "Button" block to ensure that learners completed all blocks above.
It sounds like you'd be interested in seeing another feature added to the "Continue" block, one that automatically advances the learner to the next lesson. I can pass that idea along to our Product team for you--thanks for reaching out!
Hi Alyssa,
That is the functionality I need too. I'm working on a project and the client wants next buttons as they territory that the footer dies not always display on an ipad. The continue button that advances to the next lesson would be ideal. Is it likely to happen?
Not currently. You could add a button interaction and use that to branch to the next lesson.
Make sure you have the navigation turned on in settings. If it's off, then there's no next button.
Thanks for the reply Tom. Please can you explain how that would work? Wouldn't the button interaction be there even if the user hasn't completed all content above? We like the Continue divider as it forces the user to complete the above content.
Thanks
Hi Ignition,
We added the option recently to remove the next/previous navigation throughout the course, and if you enabled that you could look at using a Button Block to jump to the next lesson. Would that work for your needs?
A new feature needs to be added to the "Continue" block giving the option to "Continue to the next lesson" or simply "Continue within lesson". This is a much needed feature for a better user experience.
Hello Allen and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
It can work both ways depending on the placement, so I'm not sure of the behavior that you are requesting here.
I put together a short Peek video to demonstrate the behavior both ways. Just let me know what I'm missing with your request :)
Thanks for that feedback, Allen! Happy to pass that along to our product team for you.
In the meantime, you can use a button block to achieve the same effect. Here's an example of what that could look like:
Thanks for the replies on this one. If you could pass the idea of Continue moving to the next lesson to the product dev team, that'd be great. I appreciate button blocks can be used to move to different lessons, but they can't be restricted (based on content completion) like the Continue blocks can.
Thanks, Dan - I'm happy to share this insight with our team!
