Mark a Rise Course Complete Without completing last lesson
Is there a way to indicate a course is complete in Rise even though the last lesson was not viewed? i.e. I have 9 lessons but the last one is legal copyright verbiage. I want it at the end, but want the course showing complete as of lesson 8.
Is this possible?
Hi, Marianne!
The Percent Complete progress meter in the left course menu will include all lessons, but it sounds like you need a way to remove the final lesson from the overall lesson count. I'll be sure our team gets your feature request!
In the meantime, I would recommend decreasing the completion percentage when you export the course for LMS.
If you are using "Track using course completion" with a percentage what you want to do is not achievable.
I have the same problem with all of our courses. One Lesson in each course is informational in nature, and we don't care if the learner views that lesson or not.
We had our course completion set to 100% and then tried lowering the percentage to take this circumstance into account.
However, the problem with that approach is that if the learner completes the Lesson that you don't want to count, the course status could flip to completed even though they may not have completed a Lesson with actual content.
So to ensure that all learning content was viewed, we had to switch back to "Track using course completion" with a percentage of 100%.
The only way this scenario could work is if Rise allowed you to exclude a specific Lesson from being counted towards course completion, but that is currently not possible.
Hi Marianne,
Karl is correct, there's no way to specify required and optional parts of the course, so if you set your passing percentage to less than 100% learners may receive a status of complete without viewing all the "required" sections.
If that solution doesn't work for you, it'd be great if you could take the time to log a feature request and tell us more about your specific needs.
Let me know if there’s anything else I can help you with.
Hi Allison, do you know if this feature was requested and/or has been added yet? Thanks
Hi Anthony!
We currently have this logged as a feature request, so I'll go ahead and include your voice! We'll update this discussion if this feature makes it on our Feature Roadmap!
Thanks for reaching out!
This would be super useful for reference sections and production/copyright information that needs to be there, but not everyone will want to look at.
Even if you could add a course completion feature to the exit course button at the end, it would do for some courses.
Hi Nicola,
If this content is in a Lesson and you allow free Navigation within the course, you can let learners mark Lessons as completed. Please see the article link for directions on how this works. (Quizzes can't be marked complete.)
Yeah that feels like a no go to me. They'd have to mark a lesson they hadn't visited as complete. And it doesn't mirror how any of our current courses work. That would be a whole lot of people complaining about not being able to finish the course.
Coming back to this thread, we would be delighted by the ability to discount a lesson from course completion
Hi there. Add me too please! I've been needing this feature as a way to solve the need for an always-accessible 'Resources' menu item in the side (which I believe is another requested feature in the wings).
Hi All! Can you please add me too? (Or share a link where I can add myself?) We like including an "appendix" of supplemental resources at the end of our courses, but we don't want to make them required content.
Adding us to this as well - would love this feature as we have "extras" like resources that we don't want counted towards completion. Thanks!
Our team would love this feature as well, as we have some courses where some lessons are completed by one team, and other lessons are completed by different teams. Having a different way to mark completion (other than percentage or adding a Storyline block) would be really helpful.
