Resource Tab Needed in Rise

We really need a resources tab in Rise. Instead of providing multiple links to the same URL throughout a course, a links/resource tab would be great solution.

Yes, you can create a resources section at the end of Rise. Yes, you can link from the lesson to the resources section, but that means the learner leaving the lesson, getting distraction and perhaps not finding their way back.

Maintaining a course is often more difficult than creating one from scratch. We're looking for ways to cut down on maintenance and reducing the number of duplicated links can help. When everything is in one place, there is less chance that you will miss a link that is hidden/buried. In addition, it simplifies it for returning learners. We often hear from learners that they can't recall which lesson a resource was in. Because it too difficult to find, they don't bother. If they can quickly find what they are looking for, they are more likely return to a course. We have also heard that when learners return to a course, they often see something that piques their interest or something they forgot about. This can lead to a learning touchpoint they didn't know they needed.
