Feature: optional lessons
Hi everyone,
we're all about mircolearning at our company and mainly use Rise for our e-learning. While I really like some of Rise's functionalities (like the new scenario block), I still have some things on my wish list. One of them is the option to mark Rise lessons as optional.
As you know, Rise allows several ways to track. We often use the course completion for our training - but our courses usually offer some main lessons as well as some optional ones, with additional information if they're interested in more or contact info if there are any questions. Now, if I build a course with 2 "must-do" lessons and 2 "optional" lessons, I could just set the "track course completion" to 50% - but I don't have any control over how they reach that 50%. Learners could view both optional lessons, get 50% and finish the course.
I'm also facing the problem that my learners don't get that there's an optional part, even though I use a section named "optional" for those lessons.
What's your opinion - do you need the function to mark Rise lessons optional? How do you handle optional lessons? Do you have a workaround?

Still do not see this as a feature in Rise, adding my +1 for this.
Same! I made a "Navigation Instructions" page because some of the older employees were confused about navigation, but it's certainly not necessary for everyone and I would like the option that it can be skipped.
Also putting in my vote to add ability to mark lessons as optional or required. This enables us to create branching scenarios within training.
Would love this option too!
But would also love to have an "optional branch"
I build for multi-hospital system and a way to "choose your specific hospital to finish the rest of the module" would be AWESOME!

Hi Everyone!
Thanks for reaching out and sharing how the ability to mark lessons as "optional" could benefit you and your learners!
We currently have this logged as a feature request, so I'll go ahead and include your voices! We’ll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our feature roadmap.
Does this exist yet? I'm looking to do something similar
Hi Emily,
No, this function does not exist.
We're building benefits courses but as a global company it would be nice if we could set the country specific lessons as optional so that we can keep the courses together. File management in Rise 360 has never been its strong suit. So if we can keep it in one doc, we'd be happier.
That or bring the file manager up to modern day with tags, groups, and interactive drag & drop.
Me too .. This would be great for our course development
