Converting lessons into sections
Hello, I've started creating my first Rise course. I've decided that it would be better to make some of my lessons sections within other lessons. While I can change the order of the lessons, I don't...
Hi Laurie,
What issue are you experiencing?
1. Please define lesson and section.
2. I think I created lessons. However, I want one of the "lessons" to be a section inside a lesson.
Am I thinking about this right? Also, how do I change it to a section? Sorry for my anger. The video didn't help. Working on a compliance module. Maybe that's it! LOL

Hi Laurie,
Here is a short explanation of Rise terminology.
When you open a Rise course from the dashboard and view the course contents, you typically have a mixture of Lessons and Quizzes. Lessons can consist of various block types, and Quizzes can consist of 4 different questions types.
Just below each item in the course structure you will see "Lesson" or "Quiz" to help you identify the type.
Rise courses do not have a multi-level hierarchy or structure, which means that all Lessons and Quizzes are created at the same level.
You can create Sections to help organize your course. A Section is an optional item. It's just a text label that can be used to visually group several Lessons. Sections do not have any content; it's just a label.
Lessons and Quizzes are created by typing the name and pressing Enter, then choosing either Lesson or Quiz as the type.
Sections are created by typing the name, and pressing the SHIFT + ENTER keys at the same time.
Sections are displayed as small CAPS, and can be positioned anywhere in the course structure.
This was really helpful - it would be great to have a hierarchy, especially based on what is displayed in the sidebar. It isn't helpful to move a section title and the content not go with it!
Hi Donna,
As stated, "Sections do not have any content; it's just a label."
As no logical relationship (parent / child) exists between Sections and Lessons, a Lesson cannot follow a Section when it is moved.
Even if Articulate added the functionality to connect a Section and a Lesson, I foresee this having unintended consequences.
