Feature Suggestion: Link to pages within course

I guess they can always use the menu (if you have that turned on), or otherwise add Interactive > Button / Button Stack and direct them to different pages. Is that what you are after?

I agree with Broderick, I think you can only link to another lesson block if you use the Button stack block.  I'm not sure if this is what Broderick means but I would like to be able to highlight certain words in any type of lesson and have the option to link to another lesson in the Rise course, as well as the ability to link to other Rise courses, instead of just being able to hyperlink to an external link.

I think Rise is great and I know we are always looking for more!!!!

Thanks

Hey folks! I love the ideas everyone has shared here. We're excited to hear how you're using Rise and what we can do to make it work even better for you.

I did want to clarify what the interactive buttons can do in a Blocks lesson, since Michael mentioned that option earlier. 

Those buttons can be programmed to link to a webpage, send an email, exit the course, or jump to another lesson within the same Rise course. Let me know if you have any more questions about that!

Those are awesome choices, I didn't know about the button block and will be exploring that option! Thank you. I do agree it would be nice to add a hyperlink to text that could like to other pages in the rise site as well, but this is a better solution than nothing. 

Are there any plans to support text hyperlinks to other lessons in the future? While the button block is useful in many cases, some of my lessons would need to have more than a few buttons and using them would have them outside the immediate context of my content in some cases.

Hi John, 

You can insert text hyperlinks right now! Take a look at this quick example of adding a hyperlink to a Button Block, a Statement, and even an Accordion interaction: 

Those won't go to other lessons just yet, but I'll let our team know you'd like to see that feature added! 

Sorry for resurrecting this post, but I'd also love to see the linkable page option come to life, as well as a linkable section option.

What I mean is, while you can currently link from one lesson to another using buttons, and people have asked for that ability to be added to text hyperlinks as well, I'd like to also request the ability to link from one place on a page to another. Like in Wikipedia, where you can link to a particular section on the page, that's what I'd like to be able to do in Rise. So if I have one lesson with a few different parts in it, users could jump around between sections using buttons and/or hyperlinked text in the sections.

I'm not sure how you'd implement and recognize the different sections, but maybe in the beginning you'd have to use a Statement object, and can only link to those, but eventually perhaps you could link to anything, like "Jump down to this button if they click here".

Edit: I'm thinking of the ability to build a table of contents at the beginning of a lesson, allowing people to click to jump around, and a "return to top" link in each section. While this can be done by just creating each section as its own lesson, that feels like a lot of page loads and doesn't allow users to scroll around through content even after jumping to a point from the ToC.

Hi there, Greg. That's a popular request, and I'll add your vote! If we add the ability to hyperlink to specific blocks in a lesson, we'll let you know. 

Thanks for the ideas, Full Tilt Ahead!

I am actually developing a Glossary in my Rise course and am loving Full Tilt Ahead's ideas. At minimum, I want to be able to link the text to a Glossary lesson, but I really like the idea of hover popups for glossary terms. That would be amazing!
