Really locking down the navigation

Hi Alyssa,

Would this forward seeking lock-down be added to audio files as well? As is there a way to have the audio play as soon as a learn goes into a block? 

Thanks,

Amanda

Great questions, Amanda!

The "disable forward seeking" feature applies to videos, but not audio.

Also, the learner will have to click the play button for the audio to play. It won't automatically play because this isn't a web standard for mobile devices. Let me know if you have any other questions about that! 

There has been a lot of great progress in forcing interaction with block type lessons! Are there similar possibilities with the Process or Timeline lesson styles.
For example, if I have video or audio in a Process step, can we prevent proceeding to the next step until those are interacted with?

Thanks!

Hi Lance and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

You could certainly look at restricted navigation, which would help between lessons, sections and different groupings of blocks.

Specific to video lessons, you also have the ability to disable forward seeking as you can see here.

The user is not required to interact with the steps within the process interaction but would be required to go through all of them prior to proceeding to the next lesson.

It sounds like you need further restrictions on clicks and timelines. Have you considered using Storyline to build this interaction?

I already have restricted navigation, but my trainees can click straight through the Process lesson without watching videos or listening to audio. Ideally have the right arrow button grayed out until they interact with audio/video before moving onto next step.

I supposed I could have used Storyline for that lesson, but then lose out on the convenience and continuity of using a lesson type already available in Rise.

Thanks, Lance for sharing that additional insight. For lessons like the Process or Timeline, the user only needs to click or scroll through them to have completed it, vs. lessons like a Sorting or a Labeled graphic lesson where they need to click and interact. 

I can share your ideas with my team and we'll let you know if there are any updates to this navigation or the interaction properties. 

Hi Ashley, that's a great question and I was running into that same issue. I have embedded a Storyline Interaction in which all the tabs need to be reviewed before proceeding but in Rise you can open the activity, close it and move on. Hope there is something in the works to help developers with this issue.

Hi Rifasudeen and Juan,

You can use a continue block to manage learner progress through your course. You can learn how to do that right here.

Let me know if you get stuck and I'd be happy to help!

Hi Juan,

No problem :) glad it helped!

Hello! I'm a longtime Storyline user who has just been tasked with using Rise for the first time and figuring out its capabilities. Is it possible to lock down a course built in Rise in such a way that users are required to complete a knowledge check question at the end of each lesson before they are allowed to continue? Many thanks!
