Remove course cover page?
Is there a way to remove the cover page altogether? I'm referring to the first page you see with the Start Course button, Details link, and content areas listed below. When my learner clicks to view the course, I want it to open directly to the first lesson.

We desperately need this feature. It's really bad for the user experience when integrating Rise content into an LMS. In our LMS, a learner has to navigate through any rise content's start page and it really detracts from immersion in the experience. Is there any update?
Bumping this! With the new theme features, this would be great! Our LMS user experience is poor as a result of cover pages.
I got all excited thinking that the new theme feature would finally resolve this problem. I was sadly mistaken.
I second Erica. The LMS user experience makes Rise look like a 2nd rate plugin on launch.
The only viable options are to run the course page in Rise (bad SEO and a blank page in the LMS), or double up the pages. That's really bad UX design.I agree, i had to use a Storyline block in separate module that links to a page that bypasses the rise first page to get around the "first page" problem. This only works for share links.
But would probably not be that hard to give the option of a storyline based (do anything) starter page? Basically it would be to have an option with a page with a storyline block set as starter page. That should satisfy just about any needs, provided they work in storyline of course..and to complement that "solution", offer some nice editable , templates for this specific purpose.
I vote for this too!
We are using Rise to build micro-lessons so that the learners can more easily access specific information in the future when they need it. The cover page is a bit of an "over-kill' for short modules and it kills the continuity of moving from one to another.
The alternative would be the ability to link to specific parts of a larger module, but this is currently not possible either.I agree that it would be useful to have a flag to turn the cover page on and off.
