New Rise Feature: Sidebar Visibility

I took an infographic from the CDC and created a single less Rise demo with no sidebar.

• Original infographic
  
  
• Rise demo: I converted the bullet points to interactive flash cards.

It would be great to be able to pick and choose which sections (and lessons within the sections) have sidebars. That way you can specifically hide pages to do a branching scenario (without playing with JavaScript) while leaving the navigation there for the other components of the module. 

In a future release it would help to have the option that the side menu only shows the lesson titles (like you can in Storyline) and not all the details.

Thanks for the image Theresa! Looks like you're using Sections in Rise? I could see that being helpful to have the individual lesson titles in each section collapsed until the user is in that section, like what you're used to in Storyline. I'll share that with the team as a feature idea!

There isn't a way to remove those icons/types either, but I can pass that idea along as well. I find them really helpful at a quick glance to know if I'll be reading content,  interacting with something, or even taking a quiz.

Many thanks Adam ! It's a very helpful feature :-)

Are we still able to link to other pages?  If so, how do you find the relevant link to the page - i.e. can use a relative path "..\page2"  or need to know the full path before you create the link?

Perhaps a future option to create a RISE static page would be ideal? So that it doesn't require a sidebar nor splash page, lesson 1ofX counters and the Home & next lesson links.

The interactivity within RISE is getting so good, that it could add a lot of value to information/experience only requiring a static "one-shot" interaction. Rather than the full suite of landing pages and table of contents etc.

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the quick response! I meant for the side menu to only show the lesson heading (modules), not the individual pages. In my screen shot it would be that only be the Course Introduction, Safety Coordinator, etc. would show on the menu. If a learner clicks in the menu, then they can see the pages too. In Storyline it can do this by opening with the menu collapsed to just show the headings/module names.

I also like your suggestion of the icon/lesson types not showing on the menu. Is there a way to remove those?

Thanks Liv for sharing that idea! 

Love this feature! It's a big step forward for those of us working with an LMS.
