One Rise course--multiple translations
Hello. I have a very similar situation. I want my global learners to access the same Rise course and select their preferred language, which would be Lessons named for each language and would take them to their applicable language.
Would that work? I don't think I could use the export XLIFF option, so I would have to get the lessons translated individually and somewhat manually and copy and paste the translated text back into my Rise course.
Or if my translation vendor has Rise, I could send them a copy of my course and have them translate directly in the course and send back to me?
The other potential hang up would be tracking LMS completion. I would need completion to be based on viewing just one complete lesson.
Hi Thomas,
Your biggest problem will be determining completion.
Having learners completing one entire lesson is not an option for determining completion.
For your project, the only option is to set the percentage of the entire course that needs to be viewed to achieve a completed status.
But that percentage can be any part of the course, not confined to just one Lesson.
So if a learner peeks into the English Lesson, then looks at a part of Spanish, and Italian, the learner could potentially be marked as complete without ever completing an entire Lesson in their own language.
To prevent this from happening, you would need to lock down navigation and remove the sidebar menu.
The first page learners would see is where they choose their language using a button block. Selecting a button block will take them to the Lesson that has their language.
Once in that Lesson, they won't have the ability to go anywhere else.
Determining completion could still be an issue, as some languages use more words than others. For example, a Lesson in Spanish is longer than the equivalent English Lesson.
So I'm not sure how you would calculate what percentage of the course needs to be viewed, as all Lessons will not be the same length / percentage.
