Remove the Start Course Button in Rise?
Hi
Can I remove the Start Course Button and Details button on the Cover Page in Rise?
Good news, everyone! We've just released a new feature that allows you to turn off the cover page when you publish for LMS to improve compatibility, streamline training, and get learners into content faster. Give it a try, and let us know if you have any questions about it!
Note: You can't hide the cover page for training created from Next Big Idea Club content templates.
Alternatively, you could do this:
- Launch "index.html" located in the "scormcontent" folder of your exported course
- Click the "Start Course" button
- Navigate to the lesson you want the course to start on. I'm just using the first lesson.
- Copy the part of the url AFTER "index.html#"
- Then open "indexAPI.html" located in the "scormdriver" folder
- Modify the line with your desired lesson ID as seen below:
to this: - Re-zip the file and it should launch straight into whatever lesson you wanted.
Note: This was from a Rise course Exported for SCORM 2004, 4th Edition. I don't know how much it will change with other export types, but I imagine not too much.
What I would like to know, is if there is a place where we can just grab those lesson IDs without launching the course. This process could be automated if we could easily find them. I'm assuming that Articulate has it coded to generate the lesson ID randomly (based on their own specifications) the first time the lesson is launched. Then that lesson ID is saved somewhere.
Do you think this is possible if needing to publish to web?
It does not appear that you can do the trick I showed above if you export for web. You could maybe export it for SCORM anyway and run it off your website or blog or wherever. Not sure if the course would throw any "visible" errors that would negatively impact the learner experience. You would just have to test it and see.
In the index files it generates, you can change which page is launched. Just note that the more you mess with the exported files, the more likely you are to break something. So, once again, just comes down to trial and error for what works for your situation.
