Embedded site looks MASSIVE!
Apologies if this already exists! I tried searching but no one was having this particular problem...
I am building a course in Rise and would like to embed an actual website into the course. When you add content to begin a course, there is an option to embed a site:
And when you are already using blocks, there is an option under Multimedia to Embed a site.
The problem is, that it's not showing up as I'd like it to. I would like for the page to display the webpage WITHIN the course. Instead, it's providing a link to an external page... and it's ending up looking like an ad in my course, and I'm afraid people will skip over it:
THEN I thought "OK I'll just "insert web object" in a Storyline 360 file and use that format. That somewhat accomplished what I wanted, however I'm getting different results when I insert the exact same file into Rise vs. publishing to a webpage.

Why is the site showing up so huge when added into Rise?

Hi Håkan,
Is this a directory that can be accessed publicly, or is it hosted on a private network?
Also, since Rise uses secure
https, embedded content must also usehttpsto work properly. Make sure the source URL for your content starts withhttps—assuming the website that hosts your content supports it.Thank you Alyssa. I will check.
Also I would consider adding that info about that rise require https . Maybe in an information text in that function?
Just changing it automatically without any user acknowledgement / confirmation can generate support issues and generate troubleshooting time for users. In my case it did. :)
But now i know what the issue might be.
Thank you for the quick response.Hi Håkan,
If you use a non-secure HTTP site, Rise should not automatically change it to HTTPS. Instead, the embedded content will be missing or blank.
If that happens, you'll want to manually switch the embed code to HTTPS. This article has more information on that!
This thread was very helpful. I was wondering if someone can tell me why this particular embed code isn't working for me?

Hi Erika! It looks like nmaahc.si.edu content has restrictions that don't allow it to be embedded in a frame. I would suggest just using the link (without the iframe embed code) so it will appear like this in your course:
Excellent! Just what I needed. Even the older posts are useful, thanks to everybody!
