Feature Suggestion: Link to pages within course
Hi everyone!
Great news! 🎉 The hyperlink enhancements you have been asking for are now available in Rise 360!
You can now link text or images to a specific lesson or even a specific block within a lesson, giving you more flexibility to guide learners exactly where you want them to go in your course.
This capability started in Rise Labs with links to lessons and expanded based on feedback to include links to specific blocks. It’s now out of Labs and available in Rise 360.
Thank you to everyone who shared your use cases and feedback in this discussion. Your input helped us understand how valuable more flexible navigation would be for your courses. We hope you enjoy giving it a try!
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.
