Learners Complaining About Progress Indicators in Courses with Forced Navigation

Greetings!

Because the insurance industry has strict regulations for continuing education filing, all of our Rise courses have a Continue button at the end of each lesson that requires all blocks in the lesson to be complete before the button is enabled. We consistently have learners complain that they struggle to keep track of which interactive elements have or have not been clicked. Is there a plan on the roadmap to make this more clear? For example, changing the color of tabs, accordions, hot spots, etc. that have already been clicked by the learner? 

Thank you so much for any advice or information that you can provide!

  • I suggest you include a Continue button after each interactive element. That makes the learners complete each interaction as they encounter it, so they don't have to keep track of what they have or haven't clicked through.

    Thank you for the suggestion Judy! Unfortunately, that will be too cumbersome for our learners. Some of our courses are 7 hours long with hundreds of interactive elements.

      Rise doesn't have the capability to indicate which interactions are complete or not (though with some, you can tell because they stay showing the last part of the interaction). You could submit a feature request using the link below. But there's no guarantee it would ever be implemented. And, even if Articulate did put it on the "road map," it probably wouldn't be done in the near future.

      You could add a note to the beginning of each course (or even at the start of each lesson) that tells the learner they will have to complete all the interactions. That might spur them to complete them as they proceed through the course.
