How to make certain parts of a RISE program restricted
In my RISE lesson, I want students to be able to access certain "lessons" such as the appendix "lesson" at the bottom of the course while restricting the actual lessons to be completed sequentially. (restricted)
(the appendix is not a lesson, but there's no option other than using the word lesson)
Hi Katherine!
You can add a continue button at the end of each lesson to ensure that users can complete the lessons sequentially. This ensures that the block (or blocks) above are completed before the learner can proceed to the next lesson.
However, you won't be able to free navigation for just your Appendix block, but you can add the appendix as an attachment instead of a separate lesson.
Hi Hazel,
I need to make one block compulsory at the beginning of each course. Is there a way I can do this in rise 360? Thank you
Hi there! You can add a Continue button at the end of that compulsory block, then choose a Completion Type to determine how the continue block behaves. I would suggest choosing the Complete Block Directly Above option so that your learners will complete the interaction immediately before the Continue button will be clickable.
Thank you Hazel.
I already knew that and have incorporated it into certain blocks.
I guess I'll have to request the user go through the lessons sequentially. That way they'll have the ability to accessing the glossary and reference sections throughout.
I wish there were a way to restrict certain numbers of the lessons. For example, if on the contents page, I could have a heading called glossary and references, then under that heading, have the glossary and reference "lessons" (they're not actually lessons.) set as FREE. then under a different heading, call it, "Lessons" then under that header make the lessons "restricted" forcing students to finish lesson one before lesson two,, etc.
Hi Katherine,
As the Glossary and Reference both contain non-instructional content, they should not be treated as Lessons that are tracked. They should both reside in a globally accessible "resource" section that can be accessed without leaving the current Lesson.
This is a major deficiency in Rise courses.
Hello , not really a truly viable option all times .. but creating two courses, one with the content, one with a glossary that can be available in separate window/ tab.. with link button to jump between them.. Sadly. rise have many more features to be added to be the definitive system of choice. But as i hear time and time again - everything can be created in Storyline.. and then i answer with what level of ease of use?
in any case i second your request for a option to select that specific sections are standalone, either as free access or as conditioned access. That would make for a whole other level of course design compared to today. If the condition could also be not only "continue conditions" but knowledge objectives fulfillment conditions ( based on results from quiz/exercises etc) that would be next level.
Hi all,
This is a good discussion, thank you for rising the issue.
I want create a course that have a sets of separate modules, one for beginners and one for advanced. But it is in the same module.So my beginner learners will not be able to see the advanced content, unless I gave them permission to access, and they will complete the course at the end of the beginners section.
Is this something that RISE have, any features that I might have missed?Thank you - Nur
I am interested in knowing how to do this as well. Is there a feature in Rise currently to make this happen?
Hi Bethel! Have you seen the article below, explaining how you can control your course navigation or restrict the navigation for your users?
Rise 360: Control Course Navigation
I hope this information helps!
Checking in to see if there are any updates on this request. That is still something that is still a desired workflow.
Hello ColleenPatterso,
Thanks for reaching out! I'd be happy to share your request with our product team.
More than one area has been mentioned earlier in this thread. Would you be willing to provide more details on what you would like to see in a future Rise 360 release? Factors specific to your use case may help our product team understand what is the correct modification for you.
I'm looking forward to your reply.
I would love to be able to set certain lesson(s) as mandatory for completion without the completion of the entire module. For example, I have times where I have a choose your own destiny pathing where lesson 4 can be either lesson option A or lesson option B, depending on the learner, and I want to be able to keep all of that in 1 lesson, and make it a "if you do one or the other, you are good" or in some cases, we have several appendices chapters that I want to make optional. A client of ours asked for a third use-case: they have a 10 lesson module, and have 2 mandatory lessons (1 and 2), and the learner should have to do any of the other lessons to be marked complete. We are doing a work around with lesson completion percentage, but I cannot guarantee with that they do the two mandatory lessons.
