Remove the Start Course Button in Rise?

Optionally, you may be able to use your LMS to direct learner to a URL link rather than the scorm package. That would allow you to skip the landing page using the methods described above.

However, you'd loose all tracking capabilities that come with scorm/tincan/etc. 

• Perhaps no completion data, or you LMS may allow you to provide course credit by simply clicking the link. You'd have no idea if the learner actually took the whole course. A work around here might be to use a scorm packaged quiz with questions written in a difficult manner so that the learner MUST take the course in order to answer them correctly. 
• You learner would need to take the entire course from start to finish each time, rather than picking back up where they left off. This is a great aspect of storyline 360. I feel like Rise always starts the learner at the beginning, but if you have navigation restricted - it may allow returning to a course and skipping completed lesson.

Food for thought! 

Very useful thread!
Wonderful.
Thanks 

Thanks Alyssa. This totally worked!

Ashley's video is helpful, but is there a way to accomplish this (completing removing the entire Start page) if our method is exporting a Tin Can format? (We want to use the Tin Can format so that we can pass a learner's quiz answers and score back into our LMS.) I don't think this is possible if we go with the link method as shown in Ashley's example. Thanks much!

I'm in the same boat as Cory.  I want to skip the entire first page and go straight to the lesson from my LMS.

Hello everyone. I have deleted Start and Details from the Settings and when I got back to editing the course, I can see that the Details label has been successful but not Start, It does not stick any thoughts? 

To skip the front page and go straight to the first lesson, try this:

add this code in the index.html at the bottom before the </body> tag after exporting the Rise content.

<script>
window.onload = function() {

if(window.location.href.indexOf("lessons") == -1) {
window.location.href = "#/lessons/1iSUIcTB6jep5DMQXmMLW7kNEzVOmzsD";
}
}
</script>

Replace the "#/lessons/1iSUIcTB6jep5DMQXmMLW7kNEzVOmzsD" part with your URL to the lesson you want to go. 

Alternatively, you could do this:

1. Launch "index.html" located in the "scormcontent" folder of your exported course
2. Click the "Start Course" button
3. Navigate to the lesson you want the course to start on. I'm just using the first lesson.
4. Copy the part of the url AFTER "index.html#" 
   
5. Then open "indexAPI.html" located in the "scormdriver" folder
6. Modify the line with your desired lesson ID as seen below:
   
   to this:
   
7. 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.

Hi Megan!

It sounds like you want to host your Rise 360 course in a learning management system, and you want learners to skip the Main Menu page to go right into Lesson 1. 

That's a popular request, and I'll add your vote! If we add this functionality in the future, we'll pop back in to let you know.

Hi

Had the same question then worked it out... is there anyway of removing the %bar which shows how much of the course has been looked at? Thanks
