Remove Course Cover Page in Microlearning
The new microlearning feature adds a very large header space (cover page wrapper in CSS) that I'd like to remove. That is, there's a large gap between the title and the arrow and the actual microlearning quiz. It looks awkward and doesn't mesh with the idea of microlearning. Is there a way to remove this space in microlearning?
Hello Connie!
We don't currently offer a way to remove the cover page in Rise 360, but you can combine blocks to reduce extra padding.
If this setup changes, I'll be sure to update you in this discussion!
Please consider that the users we're designing lessons for typically want to achieve their learning with as little time and required action as possible. I'd imagine that's true for the bulk of Rise designers.
From both a design and learning standpoint, having a massive header image that we can't remove is at odds with the whole point of the microlearning. Sure, it looks pretty, but it's adding useless padding and scroll for the UX.Hi Eric,
This is already available.
If you publish your microlearning for LMS, at the bottom of the publish page, there is an option Hide Cover Page. Flip it to ON.
Thanks, but what if we're not publishing for an LMS?
Following as I also publish to web and want my learners to not see the same header in every place I use a micro learning.
I tried this method but still getting the header- not sure what you mean by "grab the URL for the index.html". Really hoping that I can make this work or Articulate won't work for our needs.
Hi Megan,
You will still see the header/first page in editing and preview mode.
However, it will not appear when published.
Are you publishing for Web or LMS?
Hi Megan!
You can follow Chris's instructions above to publish your Rise 360 course to LMS. Make sure to enable the new option to Hide Cover Page before publishing, as shown below:
Once you have published to LMS, unzip the output, and you'll find the scormcontent folder.
Instead of uploading the content folder that you generate when publishing to Web, upload this scormcontent folder to your web server instead.
Hope this helps! Please let us know if you need further assistance on this matter.
I upload my microlearnings to Thinkific. I usually use the publish to web option per their instruction.
I believe this is an important issue that is good to be solved.
For example, I need to share interactive sample with potential client. So, I would like the client to hit directly to the interactive without the cover page.
I do not need to publish to LMS or Web at this stage. Just sharing through Rise.
Any ideas btw?
Hi Ahmed,
We've added the option to remove the course cover page for LMS exports, and we're hoping to get feedback that this design works well! We're considering adding it for web exports as well. Since the Share link is not a long-term hosting solution, we won't consider this feature for Share link output.
Hi Lea,
Thank you for your response.
In spite of the case I mentioned, I maintain my belief that it would be beneficial to grant developers the flexibility to decide whether they want to retain the cover page or not. Alternatively, providing an option to convert it into a banner image could be considered.
Thank you!
Hi All!
Thanks for your feedback! Currently, you may enable the Hide Cover Page option when publishing to LMS, but we're tracking requests to add this option for web export (and publishing to Review 360) as well.
We'll update this thread for any updates that can help! Have a lovely day!
Please note that others are requesting this same thing.
Hi Gren,
I have been able to use this hide cover page feature successfully on microlearning for some time now but then yesterday, it started showing up again even though the "Hide cover page" button slider was activated. This is on published to LMS SCORM 1.2 and uploaded to Canvas - same setting we have used successfully the last couple of months. Can you or someone on your team please look into this issue?
Hello Madelein,
Happy to help!
I did a quick test using a new Microlearning course and I can confirm that the Hide Cover Page option works properly. Here's a link to the course for your reference. There's a chance that your LMS might be caching an older version of a course if you're still seeing the cover page in a new upload. As a troubleshooting step, can you try uploading your Microlearnings as a new course in your LMS to see if this helps? If new courses are still showing the cover page even though you have the option in the screenshot below disabled, please open a case with our support team here so we can take a closer look at what's happening.
please add. Would be incredible powerful for inserting Rise pages into SL modules as web objects to get the best of both worlds (not have limitation of only reporting on one SL quiz)
We would like to have the option removed when publishing to Review 360 as well. We want to use the microlearnings as tools instead of courses and that cover is not needed.
I agree with the comment above. Please provide the option to remove cover page in Review 360.
+1 for publishing without cover page for web. I don't understand the logic behind giving the option to LMS and not the web?
