Q&A: New Content Formats — Guides, Decks, Interactive Video, & Scenarios
Hey KarenRector-08c,
Sorry to hear that you're having trouble configuring Exit Course links for Interactive Videos in Rise.
Are you referring to a Button Block that's been added as a final checkpoint to your Interactive Video? If so, you should be able to set that destination as an 'Exit the course (LMS only)' command.
I've included one in a sample Interactive Video, and it functioned as expected when testing in SCORM Cloud.
Alternatively, you can forgo the manual process of adding a Button Block. Rise provides a built-in option to toggle 'Exit interactive video link' on when publishing to LMS.
It should place an EXIT COURSE link in the upper corner of the browser window during LMS playback.
Also, can you clarify which labels specifically you're trying to customize? If you're referring to Settings > Labels, Custom Course Labels, those are only available within standard Rise courses. They are not yet supported by new content formats.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Hi Steven,
Thank you for the thorough response. After some additional testing I was able to finally get interactive button blocks to display (before they would just show as blank in the interactive video).
So few things:
1 - When I add the Button block and select to "exit course" it does "work" but it closes the course without actually marking it complete. It would appear that you have to click the final "done" button to trigger full completion, which is after the button block.
2 - Our internal style guide says not to use the Exit Course link, however, without it, the learner can get "lost" since when you click "done" nothing happens until you close the window (not intuitive for many learners). I will bring this limitation up internally.
3 - Bummer on the labels. Would definitely be nice to change the text on the interactive video "player" to suit the content / learner needs.
Some other findings:
4 - On the label note, if there was a way to set a forced navigation that would help too. If you sent the block to be required, it must have an interactive block to work, but that's not necessarily preventing anyone from skipping directly to the end of the video without watching or completing any checkpoints.
5 - Many of the block default ALL text to "heading" instead of "body" - this was a pain to update. And when you change on a flashcard, regardless of settings, the font gets SUPER small.
6 - For Knowledge Checks, there is no way to randomize the answers for multiple choice questions.
Anyway, we will have to make some internal decisions on if we'll be able to use this content type with the current limitations. Looking forward to future enhancements - like adding to Rise or Storyline!!
Hey KarenRector-08c,
Thanks for following up and sharing the additional feedback. I can confirm that all of your insights will be shared directly with our development team.
I appreciate you clarifying your first point, and my apologies for overlooking that detail in my previous reply. Exiting the course via a Button Block command won't communicate completion status to an LMS.
For #4, you're correct that Interactive Video does not yet support Restricted Navigation settings. I understand the need for more control and the ability to prevent learners from jumping ahead in the interaction. We'll be sure to notify you if we release a future update that helps.
Regarding #5, are you referring to a Flashcard Grid used as a Checkpoint for an Interactive Video? Currently, Flashcard text is not customizable in Rise, or within standalone Interactive Videos. Do you mind sharing a screenshot or screen recording of the behavior you're seeing on your end?
Looking forward to hearing from you!
