New Rise Course Publishing; Exit Button

Hello everyone,

I'm not an expert on Rise - so apologies if my questions may seem a bit basic. 

I'm planning on publishing a course - actually I developed a game on Storyline which I then embedded in Rise. This course or game will be posted in our internal website as a link. Given the scenario, I have a few questions:

  1. What is the best way to publish this course so that it's easy to post it as a link on our website?
  2. Can I edit the "Continue" divider (not just the content) for it to act as an Exit button? Basically, if they click on "Exit", they close the course. 
  3. I want to be able to record the name and email address of the person who is taking is course (or who completed the game). What is the best way to do that?

Thank you so much in advance.

  • Hello Siddhartha14

    Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community! No worries! I know how important it is to generate a course that accomplishes your goals. Let’s explore this together!

    I appreciate you sharing what you are working on. What an excellent opportunity to include a game in your team’s learning content!

    • You mentioned using an internal website. To clarify, is this team content located within an LMS or a website?

    1. What is the best way to publish this course so that it's easy to post it as a link on our website?

    You have a variety of publishing options to choose from when sharing your Rise 360 courses with learners. When publishing for web distribution, you can share your course with learners via a web link. It is important to note that you cannot track learner progress or results when using this output option.

    2. Can I edit the "Continue" divider (not just the content) for it to act as an Exit button? Basically, if they click on "Exit", they close the course.

    I want to confirm that you cannot edit the Continue Block/divider in Rise 360 to function as an Exit button for your course. You can use Button Blocks to link to an external website or exit the course altogether in an LMS. 

    3. I want to be able to record the name and email address of the person who is taking is course (or who completed the game). What is the best way to do that?

    You can choose to track completion based on a trigger, quiz result, or number of slides viewed in your Storyline Block. You can publish your Rise 360 course as an LMS package, which supports tracking of learner data such as names and email addresses.

    Please let me know if you have any other questions.

    Looking forward to hearing from you!

    Hi LucianaPiazza , thanks for getting back. It's a website, to answer your question.

    Thanks, again, for your various suggestions - I'll look into these. However, I want to share some of the alternative methods I've been exploring since I posted this question:
    1. I created a new MS Forms with just 2 mandatory fields - Name and Email. I can generate an MS Excel report once the user clicks Submit with their Name and Email.
    2. Now, in the Storyline game, I added a button and a hotspot and added a trigger to the hotspot (Execute Javascript). This trigger essentially should do the following:
      a. Opens the MS Forms in a new window.
      b. Redirect the original window (Rise Window where the Storyline game was playing) to the company website as a sign that the game is now over. 

    Option "a" works perfectly. However, for option "b", I'm not being redirected to the company website but stay on the same Rise page - with the Storyline course going blank. Trying to troubleshoot this now.

    Do share if you have any tips and tricks.

      Hello Siddhartha14,

      I'm happy to chime in! Thank you for sharing the alternative methods you've tried and the results you've seen.

      I understand that Option "b" does not redirect to the company website. Have you tried using the Open URL trigger for this option?

      If the issue persists, would you be willing to share your Storyline file with us so we can look at what you have set up? You may also share it privately by sending it along in a support case. We'll delete it when we're done testing.

        Hi EricSantos - thank you for responding. I'll try the open URL trigger - For now, I have put the trigger "Execute Javascript" and enabled it to open the MS Form in a new tab. For the existing storyline page, I added another simple trigger which shows a thank you page and a message saying that the user can now close this tab. Ideally, it would have been great if it could be redirected to the Centre of Excellence page. So I'll try the Open URL trigger and see if that works out. If not, I'll check if I'll be able to share the file with you privately. 

        Thanks again.

      The Storyline is inside an Iframe, 

      window.top.location.href = 'index.html';

      Should redirect
