Linking between lessons
Hi everyone!
Great news! 🎉 The hyperlink enhancements many of 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 over the years. Your input helped us understand how valuable more flexible navigation would be for your courses. We hope you enjoy giving it a try!
Hi there, Andrew. You have a couple options depending on your course design:
- Track completion based on number of lessons viewed:
Do each of the paths require about the same number of lessons? When you export your course for LMS, you can choose what percentage of the course has to be viewed in order to be marked as complete. If you use the lowest common required lesson count, your learners should get marked as complete as they finish viewing their unique paths. - Track completion based on a Storyline block:
Do all of the paths end on the same lesson, i.e. a summary lesson? If so, you could use a Storyline block with a completion trigger to signal completion. When you export your course, choose to track by your Storyline block.
The exit course link at the top on its own won't mark the course complete. Depending on the LMS, it will close the course and return the learner to the LMS page where they should see whether they completed the course based on your requirements.
Thanks Crystal
Yes, each path has the same number of lessons. So that's an option.
I had also been thinking of using a storyline block which is possibly the better option as it allows a bit more flexibility.
