Fake Branching and Hiding Lesson in Menu
Here's a way to create fake branching in Rise and hide lessons in the menu. http://bit.ly/2hb5uZp with downloads.

Hi,
Do you think there would be anyway of comparing two quiz percentage results after you have completed them both? Would this be classed as branching?
Any advice would be great :)

Regarding the question of comparing two quiz percentage results:
You could capture the quiz score percentage once they complete the first quiz in a custom variable.
E.g.
Create a variable called: Quiz1_ScorePrecent
Add a trigger on the first result slide that says “Add Results.ScorePercent” to Quiz1_ScorePercent when the timeline starts
Then you could embed this value next to the Results.ScorePercent on the results page of the second quiz.
Hi Sarah,
How are you looking to compare them? Are you thinking something like a pre and post type of quiz?
Branching often refers to a user only going through a particular series or flow of the course - so that they don't see all lessons or quizzes, only the ones relevant to them, or in the order best suited to their status.

So all we want to show is that the score in the first quiz will be less than in the second quiz - the quiz is the same each time but the student will have more info the second time they view it.
In theory I could just have a standard message saying that their performance improved. Ideally it would show the score in the first quiz and then the second but we could get away with just telling them they improved. . . .
Any ideas?
I saw that Zsolt Olah's example Rise course had branching and some pop-up messages. Do you think something like that could work for this?

My bad, this is the Rise forum. My answer applies to Storyline.

Hi Zsolt,
First of thank you for sharing this great workaround! I've now begun using it to develop a multi-branching scenario and the results are excellent.
But I was wondering how your link identifiers are only single digit? Mine show up like this:
#/list/cj182ukci00023j6akl6joqxw
It has been very time consuming copying these link IDs into the editor. Is there anyway I can make them smaller, as in your example, so they are easier to copy into your zsolt.js file in the editor?? This would save me a lot of time.
Thanks in advance

This is a very cool option but would it not be better to have this built in to Rise? The ability to hide 'lessons' pages from the menu would be brilliant.
Ashely - any chance we can get this put on the roadmap???
Hey Paul! Adam recently shared that we're working on a feature that will allow you to optionally hide the sidebar. I don't have any updates to share at this point on when that feature will be released or how it will function, but we'll give you all the deets right here as soon as it's ready!

Hi Zsolt,
I tried your steps and unfortunately it is not working, i noticed the code makes reference to lesson ID to be #List
But it seems currently the lesson ID's are showing as /lessons/cIrFZNJRInXdAIIvxOBg-s4jVs79B69W
Could you please let me know if the script still works as-is.
Thanks in advance

I'm also seeing the same IDs

Thanks Zsolt, for sharing the awesome trick!
Dear All,
Unfortunately :( the Rise structure is changed and due to that the code is not working.
I have updated the existing JS file and it is working fine.
The package is tested on SCORM Cloud and the completion is working fine.
But if there is any scenario where the user might not visit/view all the hidden lessons then the completion won't work as the course status won't reach to 100%. In that case custom completion have to be added.
--- Screenshot of main page before and after apply the code
--- SCORM package, extract and check the file under 'scormcontent' folder
--- Updated 'zsolt.js', kindly use this updated file
--- Of course the IDs will not be like '1,2,3 etc' but it will be the same which displays on rollover
--- The navigation arrows are disabled in the packageEnjoy till the Rise structure get changed again :)
Articulate should provide this feature in the Rise authoring itself so that no any tweaks required like this.
Thank you.- ZsoltOlahSuper Hero
Hi Shailesh,
I just saw this post, thanks for taking on the updates! I also updated some of the code on my blog. For some reason now both /lessons/ and the /list/ format are used (which maybe a but maybe not). Normally, it's lessons in the URL but when you click on a button to go to a different branch the URL has the old list format... So, I updated to accommodate both of them.

For those who need the Rise module to send completion, even if the user hasn't gone through all the content (because it's hidden), there are a couple of workarounds:
- If you have a quiz, it can drive completion
- If you insert a Storyline block, that can drive completion. (Although, on mobile, the user has to click on the play button first to initiate the interaction with Storyline. )
- You can set the Rise content to send completion manually. Try this: http://bit.ly/2yeH613
