Introducing Quick Share: One-Click Publishing for Everyday Learning
I'm using Rise QuickShare to quickly provide content to users to pilot this type of course and to avoid the overhead required of our internal processes to upload to the LMS. We will work toward uploading to the LMS but will use this for now. I like the Guestbook feature as a way to at least have a view of who has accessed the course and when it was accessed. I have a few questions:
- Is there a way to remove or edit guestbook entries? I have been testing it and want to remove my entries.
- Are there plans to add any LMS features to QuickShare, such as bookmark (retaining place in course when leaving), and completion tracking (based on criteria such as viewing all lessons or scoring of assessments)?
Hi KatherineMahon-!
So glad to hear you and your team have been exploring Rise 360 Quick Share!
I'm happy to provide some additional insight, and allow me to answer your questions individually:
1) Currently, there isn't a way to edit or delete guestbook entries once they've been created. You can disable the Guestbook feature for future Quick Share links generated for that course. However, previous Guestbook entries will still be present on the Engagement dashboard. I do understand that having more control over these dashboard items can improve your experience as a course owner. I've submitted this as a feature request on your behalf!
2) Since Quick Share is still new, it may undergo changes or have new features added in the future. Ultimately, Quick Share is designed as a lightweight way to share Rise courses with stakeholders. It was never intended to act as a replacement for an LMS. If you require deeper tracking and learner analytics, publishing your Rise course to LMS is the better option for now.
Please let me know if you need anything else!
Thank you for the quick reply. I understand about not being a replacement of the full LMS. At a minimum, it would be nice to have bookmarking/placekeeping in the Quick Share version.
Can I just ask for a bit of clarification? Should I assume, then, from what StevenBenassi said, that even with the Guestbook turned on, a guest's progress in a course is not tracked. In other words, if they get through half the course and come back, they would not be able to pick up where they left off. Is this correct? Thanks!
That is correct. With Quick Share, there is no place keeping/bookmarking or completion tracking. You need to post to an LMS for that functionality. With the Guestbook option turned on, you will see if people have accessed the course and duration with each access. That gives you a sense of whether they looked at everything in the course based on the amount of time. For the user experience, I added a note to explain progress will not be saved. I set up my courses so they can navigate to any lesson, so they just need to remember where they left off and start again from that place.
