Exiting a Course in Rise 360

Hello,

In the settings tab for Rise, it lists the label options for exiting a course as: Exit Course or Bye or You May now Leave this page. How do we add this to an actual course?

    Hi Toni,

    When you export a Rise course for LMS, the SCORM Zip file will include a file goodbye.html

    The label "Bye. You May now Leave this page." is included in that file.

    Depending on your LMS, it may / may not use that file when a student exits the course.

    Our LMS does not use it.

    There is nothing you should do to activate or use the goodbye.html as the LMS will do so automatically if needed.

    Exit Course can be turned on or off by you on the LMS PUBLISH page.

    Ok, thank you Karl,

    Unfortunately, our LMS does not have that feature. Individuals are exiting the browser causing a 'Still in Progress' status on their dashboard even though they completed the course. Just trying to find a more user-friendly option.

      Hi Toni,

      If you use the Exit Course option, Rise will send an updated / completed status to the LMS before closing the course window.

      The exit course option, in the LMS publish settings, is not a feature of your LMS. However, it only functions if the course is being viewed in an LMS, not in Review or when running as HTML. Enabling this option adds an exit course button to the course itself. As far as I can tell, it evaluates the completion criteria you have set and exits the course, setting the completion status if the criteria have been met.

      Also, the goodbye.html file can be edited easily with an HTML or text editor if you want it to say something other than "Bye! You may now exit this page." To change the text, first extract the SCORM zip archive. The file can be found in the scormdriver folder.  Be careful not to change anything other than the message text, unless you know a bit of HTML. After the changes are complete, re-zip the files and upload the edited package to your LMS.
