Glossary in Rise 360

Thank you so much, Elizabeth!!!!!  I just had an opportunity to listen to the recording.  Even though what I was interested in was discussed first in the recording, I truly appreciate that there were markers on where the content begins. 😊

I like the 'Terms Glossary' button that you used to link learners to another lesson with all the terms in there.  Am I correct that they would just need to navigate back to the lesson they were in (using the left navigation pane) to continue?

Thanks Karl.  I was thinking that if I do use the Accordion block, that I would need to include it in every lesson - :-(

Do you include your glossary in the accordion tab at the top or bottom?

All true.  I do like the option of creating a lesson (the first one) for this course for learners to access.  Thanks so much for sharing your experience about this with me!!!

Elizabeth, on a separate note, I didn't know these quick tips existed.  Will you share with me how I can navigate to them on the site without bookmarking them separately?

I created a glossary in InDesign and added it as an attachment (PDF) to be opened at the start of a lesson and can be kept open in a separate window.  I'd prefer something even easier than that, but this seems to work.

Hello, is there meanwhile the possibility to create a glossary in rise 360?

I understand this is an old thread. I came here hoping that there were other answers, but it seems not yet. However,  here's what I am doing right now.

Create a lesson called "Glossary" and place it at the end of the lesson menu, usually in a "Resources" section.

Create the glossary content with any Rise element or combination of elements you want. (List, Accordion, etc.)

Instead of adding the glossary itself to every lesson, add a link to it using the Button interactive element. I usually place the button at the top of each lesson, but some clients prefer the bottom, and you can also just place it at whatever points seem appropriate.

If you have more then one glossary or want to break the glossary up into sections, create more than one glossary "lesson" and instead of using a button, use a button stack.

The only issue this creates is getting back to the original location from where you clicked the Glossary button. Since there very limited conditional processing in Rise, there no great solution that I can see.  The only possibility I can think of is to make more than one copy of the glossary for each Glossary button and add a "Return" button to the original lesson. Not perfect, I know, but it's something anyway.

Another author mentioned a concern with course completion if completion is based on %  viewed. I've solved that issue in the past by adding a requirement that the learner at least visit the Glossary once. You can do this as a course walkthrough that demonstrates the interface and resources to make it seem more natural that a visit is required.

And of course, a button interaction is an interaction after all, so you can add one in the walkthrough and not let the learner proceed until they have taken a quick look at it using the conditional continue element.

Of course many more options are available if you create the glossary as a Storyline or Engage element. 

Hope this helps.

First off, this is a HUGE miss in still not existing as a feature. EVERYONE would start using it immediately, and many happy people would raise a toast to Rise if it was simply ADDED TO THE TOOL (the manner in which you prioritize your roadmap and feature requests is still a mystery on the level of quantum entanglement, as far as I'm concerned).

Secondly, what I'm planning on doing for an upcoming course is to make the glossary as the FIRST lesson, and not make it required to view each individual term (I have 96 of them) in order to move on. And then each subsequent lesson I'll build as requiring completion before they can continue. This way, if a user jumps to the glossary (either via a link or a button) they are jumping BACKWARDS in the course, and then they can always return to their spot by simply moving ahead as far as the course allows, So, for example, if a learner is on lesson 5 of 9, and needs to see the definition of Quantum Entanglement, they can jump back to the first lesson, read the definition, and then use the left hand navigation to return to lesson 5, which is as far as the course will let them, as they haven't completed lessons 6-9. 

Hope that helps someone!

Im not loving the work around options has this been added to the roadmap yet?
