Links within Rise (i.e. creating a glossary)

Is it possible to create links within Rise to sections within the module? for example, if I have a word such as Rise, that I wish to hyperlink to a glossary within the learning module, is this possible?

  • Hi John! 

    The visual demo in that link shows how to add section titles to the main menu page in a Rise 360 course. 

    However, it sounds like you want to create a menu link to a particular block within a lesson, is that right?

    There isn't a feature for linking to a particular block, but I appreciate you sharing your need for that!

    what i'm looking for is the structure that the document (link  that i included) used.

    i want to introduce a topic and finish by saying something like, this will be presented in three sections:

    • subtopic1
    • subtopic2
    • subtopic3

    and have each of the bulleted items be a hyperlink to a text block with the corresponding subtopic header.

     

    if i understand correctly, it sounds like:

    1, this functionality doesn't exist right now and

    2, the link i sent wasn't written in rise but another software

    .... am i correct?

     

    thanks for your time and quick response

      Hi there, John. Thanks for clarifying.

      The link you shared shows how to create the menu for your course in Rise 360. In the menu, you have the option to group lessons into sections, and that's what was shown here

      You're right, however, that there isn't a way to link from one block to another block within a lesson. Here's a 2 minute Peek 360 screencast to show exactly what I mean.

      We'll let you know if we make any changes to that functionality!

  • I am aware of adding a hyperlink within a Rise course. But can we add bookmarks too?

    For example, I click a button and it takes me to the first line of my comment in the rise course

      Not at this time, Garima. We are tracking requests to extend linking and anchoring ability. I'll keep you posted here on any changes that might help!

  • Hi Jaya!

    Thanks for letting us know you're interested in a hyperlinking feature between blocks in Rise. We're tracking requests for this and we'll let you know if we make any changes that help!

  • Any updates here? A simple reference from one word definition, to reference another word. How difficult would it be to add the ability to link words?

  • I agree on the importance and value of this, although, disappointingly, it doesn't appear as though this is being prioritized. Linking text or images to other areas of the course is pretty basic navigation. The Articulate website uses all sorts of colored underlined links to navigate to different areas of importance. The advantage of this should not be understated and can benefit many different types of users - for a glossary, for branching, to draw attention to, or to review a specific area of importance. Please, please update this and expand the usability of Rise.
