Linking to a .pdf file in rise
You could build a lesson in Rise just to host the resources, like an external storage only inside the course. You could put in PDFs as attachment blocks in the Resources lesson. Then, on the download button, right-click and copy the link. Then, go back to your actual lessons and paste the URL into any text where you want the link.
The Resources lesson will still be visible in your course, but you could label it "Resources - DO NOT ACCESS". You could also build an Exit Course button within the final lesson that occurs before the Resources lesson.
Thank you, if I use the URL link method, then what you've suggested is the only way I could do this. I still support a future dev plan where there's a repository where links can be made from. However I would also understand why RISE may be resistant to this. Its a potential situation where people would use these repositories to merely store files or have files that are redundant and may no longer be even linked. Thank you so much for the feedback KendalRasnake-1
Does Reach 360 somehow meet the need instead - store that resource in Reach 360?
Hi DianeWestern-0d,
Reach 360 doesn't function as a file server, so you'll need to host your files on a service like Amazon S3 or set up your own file server instead. You can also use Rise 360's attachment block if you prefer to embed the PDF files in the course without the need for a file server.
Hope this helps!
Thank you.
