Linking between lessons
I'd like to link other lessons in Rise. I see that the button block element supports linking to other lessons in the same course (via the Destination dropdown), but I also want to use hyperlinks in the text to link to other lessons. How can I get the relative URL so I can hyperlink?
Hi Yannick!
Thanks for letting us know you have a need to hyperlink to other lessons within a Rise course. As you mentioned, the Button Block or Button Stack would be the best way to link to other lessons currently. If we add this hyperlinking feature to Rise in the future, we'll let you know!
Hi Alyssa,
Is there no way to get the relative URL of a lesson? I need to be able to link to an individual lesson from the web page where my course is launched, as well as link between lessons using hyperlinks.
Hi Yannick!
Is your Rise course hosted on a web server? If so, you can open the lesson you want to link to, and copy the URL in the address bar. That URL will link directly to the lesson.
Keep in mind this only works if you're linking to a lesson from another website or from a separate Rise course.
I haven't seen someone hyperlink to a lesson within the same Rise course, since you would have to set up that hyperlink prior to hosting the content on a web server.
Hi everyone,
Okay, so I'm trying to create a branching scenario in rise that will allow me to link to different lessons within the same course. If the user clicks one button, he jumps to a completely different location than someone clicking the second button, can I do this in Rise?
Hi James
yes - use the Interactive block Button or Button stack options
Hi James, Yes you can. Above was only re if you are trying to branch to lessons from different Rise courses. If all lessons are within one Rise course, it's all good. Cheers Christine
Thanks Wendy and Christine, solution was staring me in the face and I didn't see it!
I also have this question about linking to a lesson within the same Rise Course and unfortunately the button options won't work for me.
Hi Sherri,
Currently using buttons is the only way to link to another lesson within the same Rise Course without opening another instance of that course. Would you be up for logging a feature request to tell us more about your specific needs?
In the meantime, if there’s anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
I had this same question. Just put in a feature request. I need to be able to let users "click here to jump to that content" from a text link in a block. :)
Hey George,
I also requested this but added being able to use images as buttons. This would open up a whole lot of useful navigation. Unfortunately, Articulate keeps pumping out features that are cool but less than useful. Rise is already nicely designed. Start giving us the ability to create new experiences. This link feature people are looking for would have been a better release than the new theme capabilities.
For this feature to be added everyone here need to go to the feature request form and ask for it there. Your request doesn't count here.
I echo that as well. New themes are interesting but other than that, the base theme with better functionality would produce better learning experiences. The base theme wasn't ugly, it just lacked some essential functionality. Now we have a group of these that likewise miss out on functionality. Articulate has always been the company by Instructional Designers for Instructional designers - it is what separates you from the competition. That said, did anyone ask an ID on your team if we should theme over learning experience?
I agree. This would be really useful. And the functionality is already there for buttons, we just need the same drop-down menu for links...
Thanks for the idea, George and Anna!
