Locking Lessons During Assessments

Hello! 

After working on several courses, I am just seeing that users have access to the lessons as they are taking the assessment. A user can stop at a question they do not know, click into the lessons, then click back to the assessment and be right back at the question they were on. If they have access to the course materials as they are taking the assessment, it is like taking an open book test. This may not be an acceptable practice for some compliance based assignments. 

Can you lock the lessons while an assessment is being taken? Or, is there a setting where the assessment restarts if the user clicks into a lesson?

  • Hello Marcus, 

    Thanks for reaching out!

    You can prevent learners from search for answers in your course by restricting a Rise 360 course's navigation. Here's how: 

    There are many ways to restrict navigation in your course, so I'd make sure to test out each option to find one that will work best for you!

      Hi Jose,

      I build my quizzes and assessment in storyline and attached it to Rise course.

      The quizzes are open book, meaning they can go back and check the learning.

      The assessment is close book, meaning they cannot go back to check the learning in Rise 360.

      How to lock the learning part when the learners reach the end of their learning and about to do their assessment (close book) in Rise 360?

      Thank you.

       

  • Hello elviraharyadi,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    There isn't a way to restrict content in Rise 360 based on the progress made in an embedded Storyline 360 course. There isn't a way to tell your Rise 360 course that your learners have moved to the assessment section of the embedded Storyline 360 block. However, building everything in Storyline 360, including the learning section, will allow you to achieve this design. Would this be something you'd be open to doing?

      Absolutely. Do you mind to share link to tutorial/webinar video about trigger setup to lock the learning part when learners are ready to do their assessment?

        Hello elviraharyadi​,

        We don't have a video tutorial for this specific design requirement, but I've attached a sample project file that shows one way you can design this in Storyline 360. My sample course has:

        • A learning section that learners can go back to anytime before they move to the final assessment.
        • A knowledge check section, which isn't graded.
        • A final assessment. Learners can no longer go back to the learning section once they reach this point in the course.

        Let me know if you have any questions about the attached file. I'll let others chime in in case someone has a better solution they'd be willing to share!

  • Maybe better to split the assessment from the course that way they cannot go backwards.
