New in Rise 360: Hide Cover Page
Have you ever wished you could hide the cover page of a Rise 360 course so learners could dive right into the content? Well, now when you publish for LMS you can! Simply toggle the option on before ...
About course covers, previously the "START COURSE" button had a neighbour called "Details ⌄" displayed right next to it, it had a downwards caret symbol to encourage people to read the description.
People in my organisation simply missed the course description that came with the course because that button was removed sometime in 2021-2022. They had said that the course cover pages were too large for their screens so they didn't scroll down, as visually the cover image and title took up over 80VH of their older screens (some are not even HD!).
Will that be coming back or should I simply move all the descriptive stuff into its own lesson? It just outlines the course and contains the copyright which is important to include, but not that important for a learner that it counts as a lesson.
Hi Casey!
I don't think there are plans of adding back the caret with the details. Thanks for your interest in this. You don't need to add a new lesson for your course description. Here's a screenshot where you can find the field where you can add it:
Hope this helps you!
Hi Hazel, yes I already place it there.
The problem is that people unfamiliar with how online courses work simply do not bother reading that information because it appears below the fold on their screens and are unaware that it exists.
My organisation makes training for non-computer savvy people, so they do not find the user experience easy at all.
I have the same issue with the cover space. I wish there was a way to remove some the blank white space between the photo and/or title and the course description.
I did find a way to get around this - but it's a bit faffy!
If you go to the Theme, then swap navigation to Continuous, and Indicator to None, then the Rise file opens just at the first screen of content.
You will also need to 'connect' all of the content, otherwise it comes onto the page quite 'blockily'. If you connect it all, you get a single scrolling page.
Articulate have put in a feature request to ensure that when you click 'hide cover page' it actually hides it. But this is a temporary workaround.
Hope that helps!
